Dan - been there done that - it probably wont go away until you replace
the interior - the seat foams are the biggest culprits followed closely
by the carpets - also did you vaccum the insides of the doors and behind
the rear and kick panels? the voids in there are likely culprits -
another spot is under the bonnet - the two void spaces above the wings- i
took about 1lb of half eaten nuts out of those on my GT mixed liberally
with the result of eating nuts!!
