Was it the bloke who drives around doing them, who USED to have a good reputation then sort of disappeared?

I could not get cover with anyone but RAC due to 20YO D2

Wish i had done this a decade ago. Warm water with washing up liquid lifted the dirt, looks much better

Especially at Britpart are basically single use due to pants seals and pistons.

Not a bad price. Needs code reader, but suggest SVS mod will be needed

Depends why it was removed if bags easy to restore. Cat, wait for mot and see if they comment. Worst case a new one.

My cheapo rears had to be changed at same time as pads, so will be rebuilding old any with decent seals and pistons

Std map, no leave it remapped Springs, check what is left such as ECU and pipework, also pump Cat £££££££££££££££££££££ (hundreds) for a new one and old ones fail internally.

Megasquirt is an option, an aftermarket injection system. https://www.megasquirt-v8.co.uk/ms_what_is_ms.php Non D1 engine is another option, IF you want to lose the V8 and go Diesel https://www.broadlanelandrovers.co.uk/services/td5-engine-conversions/

I am going to get some of that colourant for mine

I am so glad I have a spare ARB and a spare ram. Rear ARB is 6 years old roughly.

Only that one. Will start looking, but will get some leather dye

This is the worst bit Was like it when I bought it, but would like it nice

So what is the rest then as i need to sort it?

Not sure, no one seems to know, will put up a picture tomorrow

New thread to get exposure . 2003 ES seats are not cloth, but very soft . Colour is alpaca beige. Are they leather?

Will get cheaper to just take the fines, cannot jail 75% of drivers for non payment of the fines either.

That reminds me I have some seats which are beige and the material has a lot of holes in it, pretty sure alpaca beige, with black piping. What actually is it? Is it dyeable? Door trims are tatty, as is steering wheel.

I fitted new switches to both of mine as I used to have a side job in evenings of repairing fobs. mainly Vauxhall, Jaguar, and Citroen. Still have a big pile of the flat square Jag ones, but the small switch like my link I went through hundreds. I bought the longer life ones. If you can solder...
