Default Damp smell

I had the water problem in the front footwell shortly after I purchased my 75 but is now sorted thankfully. Unfortunately the water must have been sitting for some time as it has left a very bad smell.

Has anybody any advice on to remove the offending odour?

Can only suggest stripping out the carpets and steam cleaning them. I would use one of the Anti bacterial mould and mildew removers, The ones we use in the bathroom, used to be called Dettox for the crooks and nannys.

Ooops manners, Welcome to the club and the forum.

If removing the carpets etc is too much try this, I can't promise this will work but heavily sprinkle Bicarbonate of Soda onto your carpets leave for half an hour before vacuuming

I was told the trick years ago when my Hillman Imp sprung a leak from a heater hose. It worked for me but no g'tee's.
