And there was me saying 2 days ago that I'd never had any problems with the car!!!

Update: This was super-easy to do and the old girl was full of water but she's dry again now! I didn't have a plumbing rod so I used a long metal rod for holding a rabbit run together. Worked fine (took over half an hour to drain though). Now for the spyhole mod...
Glad that my timely reminder helped someone out

My friend, on the other hand, has none of these but he DOES have a very shiny car with a parboiled ECU.
You just need a ballcock system in there now to drain through and added gutter sized drain pipe . Much preferred to poached ECUs though lol.

Oh, and if anyone says it only seriously affects the diesels then good luck when your mother / wife / or worse mother in law gets an impromptu foot bath when you pull away suddenly ..... only half kidding really, but the smell of damp dog from a wet pollen filter can be rather unpleasant.
