Thanks for the suggestion Doc, I'm in Manchester. The issue I have at the moment is that my hip/back are so goosed that I'm struggling in all cars at the moment, I drove my Dad's Scirocco last night and that causes me pain but it never has done previously so I'd guess it's just related to bruising or inflamation of my hip. My Mum has come up with a temporary, if rather embarrassing, solution short term. She's given me a floral seat cover off a garden chair :embarassed: and that's worked wonders! Doesn't quite fit in with the sports image but it's finally a pleasure to drive my car. I'm going to stick with it for a few weeks, let my hip sort itself out and then I may come back to you because at the moment I wouldn't be able to differentiate between a good and bad seat!
