Adding to my post a few days ago (Radio/CD) . . got that sorted :y
Problem now is the front seats . . . Seems there is a problem with most of them , where the side bar wears away & sticks through the foam. Bloody uncomfortable is an understatement ::) ::)
So called into local breakers & although several same generation Sxi's in the yard , they all have the same seat problem .
Breaker bloke says . . . ." most of the Corsa lads fix them with . . . (wait for it ) . . .
Expanding Foam . . . . from a can " " spray it in there & it reforms the shape & sets in about 2 hours " :o :o :o
Seems a wild idea to me . . . but nothing ventured ;D ;D ;D
No point in paying £70 for another pair of seats that have the same problem :'( :'(
Any advice on another model corsa . . . can seats from a "Design " model of the same year be fitted ?, as I see a decent
set of those over there, being non "bucket " style ,the same problem does not arise ;)
Any advice appriciated TIA
Does anyone think this is a possible option ?

If the seat is buggered anyway then it must be worth a punt. What could possibly go wrong? :D

I think I will remove the passenger one & investigate the possibility of a repair. Marks DTM has let me know it can be done ,but a bit tricky he says :-\ :-\
Fitting the "Design" model seats (if they fit) is my prefered route at the moment m but need to see if they are a straight swap.

They should be a straight swap unless either car is fitted with side airbags :-\
Have you asked at Vauxhall re new seat foam? Got one for the Altea when I got rid... about £45 from Seat iirc... so worth an ask ;)
Another cheap fix would be to fit the foam from a low mileage passenger seat :y
Would trust the expanding foam to stand upto much punishment tbh :-\

Hi Al
went to breakers this morning to have a good look . . . nothing on either set of seats saying side airbags. There is one large electrical box thingy with 1 multi connector going to it, under the seats in both cars, which both look identical.
So looks like a straight swap :y I will go that way I think . :y :y
