BlueDiamond - sorry, when referring to the term 'new' I was applying it as meaning a new car for me as opposed to the absolute age of the vehicle! The car in question is in fact a 1998 Mazda 323F and the problems I am experiencing do sound familiar in that the smell is unrecognisable, very offensive and I am at a loss to find another odour to compare it with.

As I say, we have been getting a whiff every ten minutes or so and only for a split second! I also tend not to use the re-circulate function unless I want to take emergency heating action of some form!

RE Use of Air Conditioning: I use it often in the Winter in combination with mildly warm air to help with de-humidifying which in turn helps in preventing the windows steaming up.

Thank you for the replies, very interesting reading.

Cheers, Jack.
