Air con smell

Hi all, been using the air con a bit lately with the warm weather, & the problem I’ve got is it has a funky smell ! A cross between mouldy and stinky feet ! Any idea guys on where to look & what to do ?

Probably needs disinfecting - best take it to an air-con specialist (not a "Quickfords" type outfit.)

All sorts of bacteria can fester in air-con which is where the smells come from. 2003 Range Rover Vogue TD6

Halfrauds used to do an "air con bomb" that you set off in the car, started the a/c and it sucked in and it deodorised the system.
