    Disco 1 Smelling hot rubber

    I towed my digger to a job last week and whilst under load up a steep hill, I noticed a smell of hot rubber. I pulled over and checked wheels on trailer etc, no problems. The rest of the journey no more smell. On the way back the same thing. No sound of belts squealing. Any ideas please?
