    Possibly because back when you did it ,topping up would have flattened the battery, then after a good run giving it a charge it will bubble , if overfilled it would bubble out, and being ( I'm assuming) near the turbo would give a Strong sulphurous smell

    If the battery has one crook cell the other cells in series would overcharge and gas vigorously. Take it out and measure its terminal voltage after 12 hours with a multi meter and see how it is. I would recycle any battery that has bad smells in an otherwise normal electrical system.

    By jove, Holmes, I think we have it!. The game is afoot.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    To quote the great Sherlock Holmes, in the " adventure of the Engineers thumb " , " Each new discovery furnishes a step which leads on to the complete truth ". Pardon the pun, for he who puns would pick a pocket.

    sulphur smell

    Had this problem in my disco 3 and discovered that the vent tube for the battery had dislodged and smell coming through the vents.
    Cheers Rodg
