They're the places I'd start looking. Gone through any deep water recently?
Get a Vax and suck the water out and dry the carpets off as much as you can using it. You're going to have problems with the car fogging up at this time of year. Ideally you could do with putting it in a body shop oven for a couple of hours to get some heat into it to dry it out properly.

#9: Re: wet Author: Fifer, Location: FifePosted: Tue Dec 25, 2012 3:48 am ---- Have you lost any engine coolant. Can sometimes be caused by a cracked or leaking heater matrix.
