smelly air-con
can someone suggest a fix for really smelly air-con when first switched on.It does clear after 2 or3 minutes but is very unpleasant. read somewhere else that the condensation drip hose can get blocked - i have not seen a small puddle under the car after running it -used to on my Honda.Can anyone tell me where this hose is meant to be.

You can try this stuff or go to your local Wal-Mart/grocery store and pick up a can of Lysol.
It's important to always turn off your A/C just a couple of minutes before you park your car and while still moving.
Spray the stuff into your A/C intake right under the windshield with the A/C running. Spray for about 10-20 seconds, then get in the car and turn off the A/C. Several cycles of this and most of the nasty mold will be dead.
No sign of condensation on the ground is not always a sign of a clogged drain, but if that is the case, get a tech-service manual to help you find the a/c drain vent. (usually near the firewall) and try sticking a long pipe cleaner (tobacco shop) in there.
