Oddly, I have strange smells in mine...  ...wonder if we could compare smells?

Actually, I've had to remove most of them in mine - either I have developed hay fever for the first time in my life (and that would be gay), or I have an allergy to those bloody air fresheners. Every time I get in, I get a sore throat and start sneezing!

I Suspect you have 3-4 differing competing smells, this would appear to be just the one  ;D

You wouldnt have happened to accidently drop one of yours down the back of my pollen filter would you  :-?

GIT  ;D

One of the airfresheners I put in TheBoys car at York, got mysteriously placed in my pollen filter, filling the car with a lovely vanilla scent  ;D  the Git

Ah well, glad you found it.

The aircon systems on the Omegas can get a bit musty so an air freshener is no bad thing.  ;)
