Hi there folks,

This is my first post on this forum so this is an intro as well as a question. Before I get to the question I will give you a little bit of info on myself. I have been working in the metal industry for nearly thirty years. During that time I have made many different parts for many different things ranging from parts for missile guidance systems that would fit on your little finger nail up to mezzanine structures that cover many thousands of square yards.
I have of course made many parts for the auto industry including light units, pedal assemblies, brake components and much more besides. If you are driving a 2000-2002 Toyota with an electronic accelerator, the chances are that I made the tools that welded it together. So that's my claim to fame. Now for the question.
I am now the proud owner of a 1993 Toyota Previa GL 2.4 petrol automatic with 250k KM on it in pretty mint condition. But...I can smell burning rubber when I get out of the car. There doesn't appear to be any strange noises and I can't locate where the smell is coming from. It's not the tyres, (I don't drive that fast these days) I was wondering if it's possibly the SADS as this seems to a common fault on the Previa. Can anyone tell me if the smell of burning rubber is a symptom of a failing SADS.
Yours hopefully Wayland.
P.S. congratulations on an excellent forum.
