Well I went and had the car washed today (yes I was idle it was too cold lol) and on my return the rear carpets were soaked again. I felt around the edges of the carpet and the sides were not wet it was just near the rear of the centre console and the flat surface so I popped the bonnet and hey presto the drain under the pollen filter was completely blocked and it was almost full to the top. Now drained, cleaned and flowing freely. Soaked up loads of water and sat with hair dryer for what felt like an eternity so we shall now wait and see.

Thanks for the advice chaps

Do yourself a mahoosive favour...

Pull the carpet out and dry it out properly

Is it a major job to remove it?.....is it all in one piece or is the rear carpet seperate??

In three parts... Rear, NS front, os front.

To remove the rear you need to...

Pop the covers off the back of the front seat runners, one Philips screw.
Slide the front seats as far forward and as high as they go.
Unscrew both rear bolts on both front seats.
Pull the two handles infront of the seat base and lift the front edge up.
Start in one back corner and pull the carpet out from under the sill trim, only a1/4" overlap.
And work your way forward. Repeat tother side.
Then at the back of the tunnel lift the carpet up and pull it up and back away from the centre console. It is stapled loosely to the front carpets under the console near the handbrake. Simply tug and it ought to come free.
Refit seat base and front seat bolts and the car remains perfectly useable.

If it all goes Pete Tong, then worry not... ALL Omega rear carpets are identical. Fronts are obviously sided left and right but also differ left to right hand drive.
