My Dad had it stove enamelled & we fitted all new transfers, the lower seat transfer got damaged as we fitted it & I can still make out the damage. The red bit showing white through it.

Up at midnight still trying to find someone who has LR045271 and LR045272.... all these websites that stock them are drop shipping for britpart and britpart got 0. Any ideas where to find these guys?

Tried eBay, part places, breakers...

If anyone wants to make £ just go make these seat runners! I've got a quote for £670 for both sides, however that's genuine land rover with literally NO ETA on delivery.. :vb-splat:

Tis no surprise. Tis well known they can claim for a second home if they have to work int parliment often, when it's far from where they normally live. That includes reasonable cost of running it and upkeep.

That is of course true, as I pointed out to W who passed the link onto me.
But of course there will always be those who tear the backside out of it.
"Politicians with seats outside London are allowed to put utility costs at one of their homes on expenses – whether it is in London or in their constituency." So they rent a tiny place in London and pay the bills on their mansion in the shires. Give someone a loophole and they will drive a coach and horses through.
If I was PM, anyone whose main home is too far away to travel in and out every day would be allowed to stay in a hotel overnight, or maybe to have a one bed flat. But not a three or 4 storey house in Notting Hill.
Simplest way of doing it would be to give them a reasonable allowance and any more then that would be up to them. Then they could buy as big a place as they want.
This is only the same as it used to be when I was travelling around as a rep. Why should MPs be different?
