Do you mean it smells inside the cabin?
Its probably the cat/manifold joint or similar.

sorry maybe was not clear its not in the cabin its outside, i had it in other cars before and always just been a wee blow at engine side, this is diffrent this is standing outside the car and its a really hot fummy strong smell not like normal exhaust fumes its hard to describe, thanks for the reply though
