I always knock the ac off about a mile away from my journeys end - allowing the evaporator to dry out.

Yeah, if I can't get the afterblow turned on, I will just do this. But the car stinks like a ring and ride bus at the moment so I will give a bomb a go and see what happens.
One thing to note though Stephen. My Air Qual Sensor is ££££ed. Does this mean I have no recirc facility cos the flap is permanently open? In which case a bomb on recirc would not work????? As you are the resident expert, I await your guidance!!!

You can still make it recirc by pressing "manual" - I know because my AQS is faulty too so I took it off to hoover it and tried the manual button a few times to ensure the flap closed. My afterblow is turned off but I would consider getting it switched on again. My car stank when I first got it but after a few days of leaving it in the "auto" position it was fine. Recently been a bit whiffy at start up again so I replaced the multi filter which was very gungy and sprayed some febreze through the system while I had the scuttle panel lifted to access the AQS. I haven't noticed a smell since. Do the aircon bombs leave a residue all over the interior? I have looked for the recirc intake but can't actually find it....

^^^^^^^^^ What Jardon Said...lol
The Air Con bombs do leave residue on the interior - you'll have to give it a wipe over afterwards. No big deal.
I use a Texa Air+ machine which atomises the disinfecting fluid, leaving absolutely no trace or residue whatsoever.
texa- is that the one you pour liquid in, and it heats it up to a vapour? - we used to have one of those .
i am pretty sure the default for the afterblow was to be on, rather than off because people used to ring up ad say they went out the their car to get something but the interior fan was on and thought it was a fault.
lol I thought my car was possessed when it first did it!
