Smoke (burning) from steering wheel area

I have a problem with smoke appearing from around the steering wheel. It happened yesterday after driving for about an hour or so. I have had an auto electrician come and look at it but cant find any sign of it. It was as if some plastic was burning. wondered if anyone has any idea what it could be.

Polo 1.4 16v Overheating

I have a 1997 1.4 Polo 16v. I have a problem where it overheats after it has been running for a while. It warms up as normal and gets to 90 degrees then after say half hour or so driving starts to creep up. The only way of controlling it is to put on the heating. And it goes back down to 90 again ...
