Done mine and dried out the filter on a mild heat from a fan heater , then soaked it again in febreze and dried it again, no smells

The link at the start of the thread leads nowhere at the moment! Can we have a fix please as I think I should check mine!
Thanks!

I agree with all that has been said here but I have another tip to offer I bought a block of aquariam foam and cuut it to shape for drivers and nearside plenums its texture is loose enough to allow water to drain away easily but because it fits snugly no leaves have egress at all which saves a lot of worry and is simple to do, I think poundsavers do a foam block similar which would suffice

That's a brilliant idea. Sometimes its the most simplest ideas like that, that will be the most effective. I know what I will be doing this weekend :-)

Link now updated, no idea why it stopped working.

As promised couple of pics to show how simple it is to implement my foam idea to protect the plenums not rocket science but it does work very well for me

Did mine 2 weeks ago when I serviced the car and changed the cabin filter.

Many thanks for the advice. After fitting new pedals and footrest yesterday (a job which at times I wished I hadn't started) I tackled this, and apart from half a dozen rotting leaves, finding it dry, but as the spy hole takes about 30 secs to do, I did that too. Thanks again.
