Had a similar problem. Firstly the compartmen that holds the cassette had become smelly due to spillage when the toilet was over full. A thorough clean out cured it. Next the rubber seal became smelly if the flap was not opened fully before the toilet was used. Again a good clean using a sterilizing agent did the trick.

you can buy a new seat and cassett for about £100 if all else fails.

Ensure you rinse properly and use the blue loo or similiar

Always make sure the flaps open before you use it....and dont use it till it overflows! You should have a warning light on the flush. And if you dont, just getting 'splashback' on your arse when you use it is a good indicator it wants emptying.
