thanks. I have a damp smell in my car and use dehumidifiers but they don't get rid of it all. I am sure this can't be good for me - spores etc ... so how do you disinfect the aircon and heater outlet pipes ? cheers

You can purchase a product from Halfords, it's an aerosol that you trigger in the back of the car, leave the engine and the aircon on and it clears the whole system. Works really well not cheap but at least you can breath once the air has cleared.

You can usually tell if there is a problem by the horrible smell when you switch the aircon on. Or in my case my lungs tell me quite quickly that something is wrong.

im glad that you replied it good that others are aware no one tells others until they tell them and the uasual replie is I know any way good luck and lots of happiness for ther future bob

You are so right Bob, I first noticed it a few years ago when I started to gasp for breath each time I used the car, the air con on a car provides the perfect breeding ground for bugs and mould. As a COPD sufferer it is very important to keep clear of anything like that, so paying a few pounds for the proper cleaner once a year seems like a good idea to me.

Best wishes for the New Year
