    RX8 Seats issue

    Not sure about mud rails but yes, the rx8 seats are wider. Are you keeping middle seat? If so, get as tight as you can to it or the drivers door will hit the switches. On mine it held the switch on causing the fuse you blow.

    Fitting rx8 seats.

    I've had the seats in for a while but always found it difficult to get to the battery so when I decided to replace the broken heating elements, I thought it would be a good time the rework the seat.

    Steering wheel out of line after adjusting play

    You won't of changed the tracking as that's fixed. I would remove badge from centre of steering wheel. 22mm socket, undo but leave a few threads on.

    Worst tool you've ever bought?

    Same here, nearly 2inches of water in the garden and surrounding fields. I've a submersible pump in the manifold tank for the septic tank. Percolation area can't cope with this amount of rain so needs a helping hand into the ditch.;)
