    Do you have friends that are tossers? I do, A fresh pike on the heater did much the same to me.

    If not, you probably just need your AC freshened up.

    Cut a big onion in half, leave half on the front seat and half on the back, overnight.
    Try it I kid you not, and there will be no smell of onion either.

    Leave a worm out on the dash with a hook in it
    fish might come out after it

    A few drop of vanilla essence will mask over the smell while you drive to have it valeted.

    :D

    Might be worth your while to check the pollen filter first ;)

    Get a can of Comma air con cleaner in halfords for about 20 euro.

    That will get rid of the smell and any fungus/bacteria in the air con.

    It's also a good idea to change the pollen filter

    furbreeze or any antibacterial air freshener will do if price is too high, spray into all vents and the filter is behind glove box on most cars.
