**** **** **** need to take seat out, and I now hate cows!

[Dave2P]

So... a couple of weeks ago I went out for a few groceries (as you do - 60 minute trip to the shop down the road... the long, twisty way...). Got back and found a litre of milk missing; must've left it at the service station. Oh well.

Get in the car this evening; WTF is that smell?



Look for signs of road-kill attached to anything hot, no sign. Ok, so we'll drive with the windows down! Co-pilot soon discovers floor is damp and shortly after finds the missing milk carton wedged under the passenger seat; with rancid "cheese" escaped and angry!

Arrrggghh. Wibble.

Is it easy to get the passenger seat out?

I did this in an old car. I could still smell it years later.

Pour water over the spill , then suck up with a wet/dry vac cleaner. Do this several times to dilute the milk and suck up residue.
When clean, take bicarbonate of soda, 2 tbs spoon per pint and repeat process. Let it dry. If it still smells, cover carpet with dry bicarbonate powder and let stand for 24 hrs then vacuum.
How do I know this ? Guess..

In theory.

I'm thinking of replacing the carpets, especially on the drivers side.

Wonder if anybody has looked into doing this?

I have replaced the carpet twice on this current car, once the seats are out it is an easy job.
I got the replacement carpet online from Merlin Motorsport, while your on with it you might want to consider boxing in the chassis members, stops passengers from asking what the those things are sticking up above the floor.

Thanks for the tips guys; seat's out, carpet washed and now sprinkled in bicarby stuff until tomorrow. Fingers crossed but it's noticeably less rank in the garage than it was this morning!
