Re: seat vinyl

Probably best that you call Segal as I cant see the tan vinyl I bought from them in 2005. Maybe discontinued. If they have I have some spare and probably enough to trim another car.

Re: seat vinyl

Just a follow up on my earlier email re Segal trimmers. I used Jaguar Tan Ambla vinyl and Black atlanta vinyl. Think they are both still on their website. Ask for samples - they are very helpful. I got together 9different samples and chose the ones above. I also got 1/4 inch foam, S1358 glue and fib...

So its Boot lid up fiddle with the middle fuse of the 3 fuse block to the left of the engine and she usual fires up. But it's getting worse despite cleaning the fuse contacts and replacing the...

Re: Turbo tie rod ends

I'm pretty sure they were after market parts - I'll look through my paperwork for the invoice. From other comments here it does seem that some after market products can be a bit duff!! Apart from that does anyone know where I can source the small rubber boots that fit over the steering ball joint on...

However, the small boot that fits over the track rod end swivel have also split on both sides. Does anyone know where I can get replacements rubbers w...

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed

Sounds great! Make sure that you put a good damp proof course in the concrete base and put in a 1 3/4 inch plastic drain pipe with a 90 degree elbow that comes up close to the inside edge - before you poor the concrete. You can then run in an armoured power cable if you need to later (or water). A f...
