Sounds like Air Con?

Bacteria in the system, mine did it where it was sat for a couple of weeks.

Be carefull if you use the renault aircon refresher stuff

Hmm Ive had an egg smell a couple of times put it down to something outside the car but :O it was incredibly pungent.

Although I pressed the air recirculation buttion and it didnt smell.

Is there any spary that I can get online?

maybe try putting the heting on full blast for ages. Could work either way. It will either kill the bacteria and get rid of whats probably liquid in the sytem somewhere or make it smell worse as the bacteria multiplies.

You could prob get it sorted under warranty
