    I doubt if it's smoke, more likely to e condensate - it would be pretty humid just now with all the rain, and the smell is just from the crud / dirt / bacteria that builds up on the evaporator coil.

    If you can ask her to run it without the ac on just fresh air blowing through - does it still blow out 'smoke' - if it does I am wrong and I would need a bit more info.

    but if it doesn't I would guess my theory would be right.

    and in that case the 'smoke' will just go away when the humidity drops

    It can also sometimes be smoke . Leaves get caught around the resistor block for the fan and start smouldering. Happened to me in a Kingswood, I don't know if it is a potential Rover thing.
