Fitted a new clutch and radiator over the weekend, now when I get out the car after a drive, the car stinks!

Is this just the clutch bedding in?
Will it go?

Also, the bite point (to me) seems a touch too low.

Is there any way to adjust the bite?

Lotta questions. Sorry.

Well, put it this way, I would not expect a new clutch, if the correct parts were fitted correctly to cause any smell.

Radiator, if it has fresh paint on it, it might smell a bit, even more if it was leaking somewhere!

Clutch was fitted the exact same way I'd fit any other. Google does return results that say it's not uncommon.

Radiator is bone dry, but I didn't think that would be a culprit of the smell.
