Anyone know anything of these factors on my brothers corolla:
When going faster, the smell of sulphur comes through the vents and when the bonnet open it smells as if coming from battery.
The battery discharged after not being used for 3 hours, but was fine before. And my dad put new terminals on as it wouldn't hold a charge.
Engine management light came on last night.
Any ideas guys?
Cheers

sounds like low battery acid and the plates are cooking? can it be topped up with de-ionised water?

Then a new battery is needed - before it explodes.

I had the same thing in a Mini Cooper, the battery actually exploded in the boot, low water was the cause. This was when I didn't believe in servicing cars..........

totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"
