    Hey everyone

    I've discovered a water leak in my car (05 Opel Corsa), with the water leaking in from outside, around the brake booster and collecting in the driver footwell.

    I'm in the process of getting it fixed but the thing is that the car now has that rotten smell of damp, and I don't know if I'll be able to get rid of it completely. I've taken the carpet out and the insulating foam underneath the footwell to dry them, but again, it may have that smell for the rest of the lift time of the car.

    I was wondering if it's possible to get that part of the carpet and foam replaced, who'd do it, and how much it costs? Any tips are much appreciated, cheers.

    Might be cheaper to get the required bits from a scarp yard.
