Smelly Engine after Switched Off

Hi All.

 

Getting a strange burning smell (quite acrid) when parking the Z and switching the engine off. Nothing appears to be entering the cabin / cockpit and the smell starts a few seconds after the engine is switched off.

 

Have checked the water, oil and brake fluid levels and they are all fine. Not noticing any oil deposits on my drive way or in the works car park. The smell is similar to one that I would expect if the engine has had a good thrashing, but I'm not driving the Z particularly hard.

 

The mileage is nearing 45K, though a service was done around 3.5K ago. I am thinking of putting it in for a 45K service with the main stealer as the previous one was done through the garage I bought the car through.

 

Any one have any idea of what might be the cause of the burning smell please?

 

Cheers.
