To dry out carpets and soundproofing, scatter oil absorbent granules under carpet/insulation. Leave for a day. Then hoover out. May need several applications and it won't get it bone dry, but short of taking out the carpets etc, it's the only way. Antifreeze doesn't take easily to drying either, but the granules will soak up 90% of the dampness.

Oil absorbent granules can be bought from motor factors in large 20 litre sacks, and elsewhere too I expect, maybe in smaller quanities.

Don't use cat litter or anything similar, it goes too soggy and/or clumpy. The stuff we use leaves a bit of dust but it soaks up oil and water like magic, and is easily hoovered up.

Bi-Carbonate of Soda??? Sprinkle on, leave, then hoover up???

I had a heater matrix go on a pug 405, I found the price far too high so I suspect that for the omega its going to be a bit more. soo....

I chose to cut the pipes off where they went through into the body work and rejoined them with some copper piping which just fit into the existing pipes and jubilee clipped it tight. this solved the problem and worked a treat. got another 5000 or so miles till I decided to scrap it and get my omega...best decision ever!

Cutting the pipes is an option to consider if getting it fix is not an option at the moment. However, it can be a bit of a pain in winter with the windscreen freezing over every 10 mins!
