After replacing my leather front seats with mv6 ones, I've just been out and changed the rear seats too!  Very pleased with the result :y

Fitted rear pads and calipers.


Actually no that's a lie. Spent most of the morning battling with hand brake adjusters. Sorted now though. :)

They only seem to work when lubricated. Otherwise the star wheel just pings back to where it was...repeatedly.
Once lubed and I worked out which way to turn them they did behave, eventually.

Plus with a bad back, they absolutely the wrong hight to work on. rather things. ;D

Managed to ruin the headlight lenses with some rather unforgiven sandblaster paper >:(.  But with a lot of effort and £12.38 spent on some maguires scratch stuff managed to get them near gleaming ;)  Looks a whole lot better on the front end and I can see in the dark again 8)

Forgot to mention, a thanyou to the individual who done the how to :y

I have finally repaired the central locking motor on my drivers door, which has been intermittent for the last 6 months, following the excellent guide by Kevin Wood.  Just one microswitch had failed exactly as the guide showed and now it is working perfectly again.

I cannot praise this forum enough for the wealth of information available and the friendly atmosphere although I am only an occasional poster (too busy with jukeboxes and grandchildren).

It does not matter how much you post, as long as you get out of it what you want ;).  I rarely post these days but OOF will always be there to help people and thats what makes it a great site :y
