It pains me to admit this, but my '02 RR has developed a burning smell after being driven.

You need to try and pinpoint exactly where the smell is coming from |

The smell is definitely from the drivers side.

I wouldn't risk it if it smells electrical! Electrical and burning smells can offen have a catastrophic end so, in my opinion get it looked at now before it catches fire! Yikes...

other than it being the calliper sticking could it be the fbh..now that does smell from the outside but not inside unless the smell is being drawn in to the cabin area somehow.. ... - .- -.
