Yeah it is well it's the standard tdi pump which has been made into a hybrid by diesel bob still waiting for it to come back but it has a 12mm head in the pump and turns the car to mechanical as it's easier to tune up

Yeah thought they were, really like them and they are a nice when sat in them, hold you in nicely. They are rare however i do have a friend who is selling a rover 620ti with the same interior and is now thinking of breaking it as didnt get the price he wanted on ebay. So if anyone likes the seats for their car then pm me.  :smiley:
