Sure it wasn't the DPF regenerating ? It causes tremendous heat / burning smell and engine fan noise at full blast

Thanks for your response, looked under the engine today in the light and seen a hole in the casing of what l think is the transfer box . Going to drop it at garage tomorrow morning fingers crossed ?
