Pulled out a set of stinking soaking wet seats, followed by the stinking soaking wet carpet.

Normal? not in this case the car had been in the custody of a garage for the purposes of replacing an EWS, in the meantime the garage compound was flooded, their customers car was up to it's seats in water.

So after spending just short of £1500 for the repair, plus the "removal of the carpets to clean" they wanted a further £600 to replace the SRS DCU and side impact sensors.

My opinion having started on the job today is simple, I suspect the garage's wet vac has indigestion

I've spent a cursory half a hour with a bucket of water and a damp cloth, mopping out the silt and sludge from the floorpan.



All this after a trip to the dentist this morning



All in all not a good day
