Ok lads thanks for the help so far,think ill just put a post on asking if anyone got some leather or even better quality cloth than whats in my gl house brick seats.

It says in the add that there out of Diplomat or CDX,just asked and guy said he took them out a GSI.So what your saying is that if the bench seat has 2 pull straps to release it then they wont fit?I have no idea lol.

my cav is a hatch and the seats are from a saloon,my cav has the 2 sections of the bench seat and the leather one is a 1 piece bench seat.My cav has 2 brackets per seat with removable pins,the leather one from the saloon has a pull cord im told???

Right just to let you know,i went out to the car this morning and after a few turns of the engine it started once it burnt the fuel off the plugs it drove like there was never a problem.I have ordered a engine coolant temp sensor and it is coming next week,i will do the paper clip test and let you k...

Right i clean the throttle out every year or when i remember,it is injection and is flooding as plugs are covered in fuel and i can smell it.The map sensor has never been changed while i had the car,and the paper clip test sounds like a plan:) but where is the diagnostic plug?Also on the facebook gr...
