WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
You know you will only do it again next time!
Take the carpet out, dry things out and put seats back in, but not carpet. Also while the seats are out try and waterproof any other witing/fittings as well as you can
Just use loose mats you can remove when the going gets wet.
Not as if it is your daily driver...

All good mate. A bit of work to dry it out but no dramas. I kind of expected it to be a pain but was worth it.

So seats are out and I've pulled the carpet back at this stage, rather than pulling it out. There was too much frigging around in the dark with the bit around the pedals.
Speaking of which, does anyone know how to get the left hand footrest off?
Going to leave it tomorrow to dry out. Still to decide if I'm going to pull it all right out, there's some rain coming later this week and I don't really have an undercover area to leave it all open and I've still got to pull the drawers out to get to the last bit of the carpet.
Daz, my carpet was already in two pieces (front and rear sections) but going by how clean it WAS under there until I dunked it it hasn't been dunked before....I wonder if it was a change they made to later models (mines a '97).

Think Daz meant cutting it into 3 sections.... front seats, back seats and the boot.
Mines already in three sections because it has vinyl in the boot.......

Check your axle seals, I sunk mine and had to wait for bout 1/2 hour to get recovered and I have been replacing wheel bearings ever since.
Fortunately I would have only been in there about 2 minutes. We'd already hooked up a snatchy before I had a go at it. BA pulled me out pretty quickly.
