Read somewhere about putting a sheet of Bounce (smelly stuff you put in the tumble drier) in the pollen filter as an air freshener.
If you're going to try it please note a word of warning, don't do as I did and put it in behind the pollen filter.
Bloody thing got sucked in to the heater fan! >:( Nearly shit myself last night when I turned the fan up to max, sounded like a fog horn going off in the dash. :o Car was actually vibrating and I thought WTF! was that, then it stuck me that it was the sheet of Bounce.
Checked behind the pollen filter and sure enough the sheet had gone. Looked down in to the fan and there the bugger was wrapped round the fan blades. Couldn't get my hand in far enough to grab the sod but with much poking and pulling with a straightened wire coat hanger managed to get it out.
Won't be doing that again in a hurry! :y

Hahaha, that made me laugh out loud!
Not what could've been a disaster, the way you've worded it :) . Thanks for making my night a bit brighter!! ;D ;D ;D :y

You're much better off hanging such things from the rear view mirror. ::)
Remove before MOT. :-X

I shouldn't laugh at your down fall & I usually don't at any ones, but that made me chuckle ;D ;D :y
Glad you got it out :y :y

Where did this daft idea come from?

I suppose it's better than a shed load of air fresheners ................. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ;D ;)

I put bounce on mine BUT realised it would be sucked in so duck taped it to the the outside (sorry to be a do good-er ::) )
Anyway just to say dont do it anyway lasted about 3 days ::) not worth the effort
Swmbo suggested spaying it with fabreze and that is still working a week later :y
