I have a problem with my car (Ford Fiesta 1300cc - 52 plate).

The car stalled a couple of times on the way home and now there is a burning smell.

I have a feeling it maybe a problem with the heater, but i'm not sure, any ideas?

Thanks Smiley

Where's the burning smell coming from? Did it struggle to pull away and then stall, or just cut out?

The burning smell seems to be coming from the heater vents.
Apparently it just stalled and didn't judder or struggle (My wife was driving it, not me).

Sounds like mine a few weeks back. If it does start shaking a bit, could be your ignition coils.

It does shake a fair bit every now and then, usually as I pull off.
