Default Focus RS MK2 Damp Smell

Afternoon All ! - just a quick query to see if anyone has came across the same issue ,

My old man has a 2011 MK2 Focus RS which is pretty much cherished and not used a lot of the time , having covered just over 3000miles in it's 3 year life (I know )

The car is dry stored at home - and earlier In the year I got into the car to move it and noticed a heavy "foisty" damp smell .... There looked to be a tiny bit of mould on the passenger seat which wiped off straight away , it has the black half leather / alcantara trim

I've had a look around the car and can't feel any damp carpets trim - but I'm yet to water test it .

Personally I think it's just with it sitting around so long and lack of use !

So I've bought some auto glym air freshener sprayed the carpets / mats / seats and just gonna monitor it for the time being .

I remember my ST used to have a damp drivers carpet but I never got round to looking at it and it seems to of righted itself

Just wondering if anyone had come across similar problems - as said I think it's just the lack of use smell !

But I told the old chep I would do some digging on his behalf !

Thanks team !
