Vauxhall Zafira burning smell and electrical buzzing sound

Car: Vauxhall Zafira
Variant: 1.9 cdti
Model Year: 2006
Categories: Leaks & Noises
I get a burning smell coming from underneath my car. When im driving i can hear a buzzing sound when I press the accelarator. when im stopped at lights the car will rev on its own only a tiny bit but it gives a buzzing sound. when i finally stop and get out the burning is very strong. It doesnt do it all the time which I find strange and when its not doing it the car drives fine.

Sounds like the DPF regenerating .A good run at speed usually helps , especially if used for short journeys .
