Well mine has greybrowncreamred carpets! 12 years of god knows what embedded in.

Why do cars only have two smells, new car smell then immediately after that come fusty old dog car smell. weird

Yes and no, this might effect the finish of the paint due to the chemicals of the paint stripper Laughing

@ Mrs_Howey

Tried the aux belt? Clean up the pulleys as well as mine snapped due to the old ones having melted rubber on them

Whine could be your diff Sad

The aux belt is brand new only been on the car a week, but been squealing since i started it the next day.

I've had a few idea of what it could be, it sounds like it's coming from the engine Sad lets hope it's not expensive!
