Maybe not a bad thing with the fuel filler neck as they are renowned for letting rust get into the fuel system, so best to change it straight away anyway. But yes, what a tw*t for not being honest.

they'll fit but the forward/back handle is on the wrong side, can still pull the pin across wi ya finger tho, not like you move em that often.  If its a later cab the foam, fabric and upper seat back from pre-90 MK2 seats will fit on the MK1 frames, provided they're the sports seats with the bolsters.
You can sometimes swap the handles over on the bases, providing the height adjust mechanism isnt in the way!
