We' ve checked for water, we've used spray for the air con twice, it does not seem to come from the vent.
Also checked for any obvious causes (left food e.t.c).
Any ideas what it might be, or where else to look for water apart for seats e.t.c.?
Solution: Remove cat food crumbs from cabin.

Yeah but it could be moisture and stuff. I'd dry the car with a heater first.
Do it safely.

yes. No water accumilated.
Could the mat be just slightly damp and causing it?

No, I run it once every couple of months during winter for five minutes each time, so it doesn't break down.
But it's not coming from the vents.

Check for damp under the mats, and in the insulation in the boot and in the rear quarters
Check the condition of the pollen filter and a/c gas
Check the CAT....blocked/damaged CAT smells ergh

Checked everything and found two straw mats from the summer in the boot.
After I had them removed and thrown away, the smell vanished.
Thank you for the help.
Hopefully this one is solved

Update: it wasn't the straw mats, it was discovered that remnants of cat food (dry feed) from doing the rounds in various places, had dropped in the rear foot wells, which caused the smell again.
Problem now solved.
