Question is, do I now pull the whole system apart? Or hope I've got it all out!

How on earth did it get in there anyway!?

Well climate fixed today and had it re-charged and an anti bacterial treatment - smell still not great!

Any tips to remove smells? I've started stripping things down but going to be a big job to get to all the pipes!

Think I'm suffering mainly from a chemical smell now, look like previous owner may have attempted to solve the 'mouse' issue by pouring something into the vents!

Buy a Neutradol gel sachet, and put it on the floor under the dash.

Umm...hadn't considered that!

So far taking everything I can get to apart and cleaning it, some oust and pot of neutradol over night seems to be working  :y
