Hello and welcome sue328320 bad luck with the mirror, regards to the smell between damp dog and vomit the mechanic may well suggest a professional valet
I don't know if you bought through a dealer or private but if from a dealer they should have done one

Hi sue328320,

I must admit, I notice a wet dog smell in my other car if I turn the air-con off but I can't say it also smells of vomit...but glad your mechanic got rid of it for you.

A warm welcome from me too! :wave:
