Hi Andy
theres no need to claim on your insurance this can be rectified the wiring will all be okay the milk wont have damaged anything as it dosnt conduct
Was the milk spilt on any of the seats if not then you only need to renew the foam and the carpet
The trick we used to do to make it cheaper for the customer was to cut the rubber foam just above where the liquid stops getting sucked up and cut it 6 to 12 inches under the dash area then run carpet tape along the seam so the dash dosnt have to come out.
It can be done quite easily with a bit of confidence if you want to know more give me pm and I will give you my phone number and I will talk you through it
cheers

UPDATE
Right, Car went into Dealers and had strip out of seats, new carpets and washed rear seats. Taken away and delivered back.
I got the car back late on Monday last week, Unfortunately on the Tuesday Wifey (Milk Spiller) noticed some scratches on the inside of the drivers door window just above the side mirror on the inside. Thought how did they get there, realised the guy who delivered the car back was wearing a diamond signet ring on his right hand, wifey only wears the diamonds on the left, and i cant afford any anymore.
Car was taken back to the dealers who tryed to deny any knowledge, untill the photos which they had taken came out and lucky enough a clear enough image of a side window with no scratches. So theve admitted liability and it now needs a new window so its going back again for that.
Also unfortunatly there is still a smell in the car and we have not accepted the work yet that has been completed and its going for another seat wash to hopefully sort it out. Sorry if i sound like im moaning but its good for updates etc. All this for the 50p pint of milk

Just stop crying over spilt milk.
Hope it gets properly sorted. Milk produces some nasty bacteria.“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

sprinkle crushed bio washing tablets onto the area, leave overnight then vac out, the bio bit breaks down the bacteria and the nice odour helps it smell nice.
Smell of dried blood should take your mind off it for a while?I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

New Update:- Car is coming back tomorrow, they have had it for 1 week again!, im not home to see it so wifey is under strict orders to examine the exterior and interior.
I have got very suspicious of the dealers and have done some secretive markings etc, i now feel like im getting paranoid about the whole bloody vehicle. Shame really as ive had some good dealings with them in the past, although this is the repair section and not the sales department.
On the bright side 500mls less on my car and on the courtesy cars! (Ford Fiestas)
