Piccies kinda say it all really   :sad:

Looks like the seams have burst (so good news hopefully).....

Any ideas where to start looking to (b) get it repaired) and (b) some ball-park figures for the repair?

Thanks,

Dan

Are you still under warranty?

No mate - it's an 05 car, granted with an extended 3rd party warranty..... don't think (ie pretty damn sure!) that it wouldn't be covered (probably classed as "wear and tear".....

Will still check though!

I know it sounds obvious but try the yellow pages.

It looks like a fairly straight forward repair to someone that knows what they are doing?  :undecided:

I reckon they would just wip the seat cover off and re-stich it on a machine.

yeh, thanks for the replies  :smiley:

Had the car serviced yesterday, and the chap knows a local person (around the corner from me) who does upholstery repair (does rally seats etc!).

Will see how it goes, and keep you posted :smiley:
