    Smelly AC / Plenum location / AC mildew mold

    Hi Disco Community,

    I recently bought a 2017 Disco 5, it is my first LR I naturally love the vehicle's impressive looks and ride. I noticed that when my AC is on a horrific smell is coming out (similiar to urine) from research I have seen that many others have had this issue and it's down to mildew/mold in the AC system.

    I want to know how best to tackle this, I tried one of these spray bottles (AC freshener) but that didn't work, I have seen videos on YouTube (non-LR related) where they spray disinfectant or a purpose AC mold cleanser into the 'Plenum' under the hood. As a beginner in car maintenance where would I locate this in the Disco?

    Any tips and tricks are very welcome. Apart from the horrid smell I am now a huge LR convert.

    Have you replaced the cabin pollen filter?
