I had this cover and claimed with no problem whatsoever. It does exactly what it says on the tin!! Well done AA!!

I tinted my rear lights but have now decided I dont like them (dont get me wrong they are a good job, just prefer them stock). Anyone know how to remove the lacquer and paint, or anyone want to swap? Thanks

For some reason my red "lights" light flashed occasionally when I press the brake, not all the time only occasionally. I did have a rear break light out and it came on all the time, I stuck a new bulb in it and the lights are all working. For some reason though now, the lights light comes on every now and again? I have checked the lights and they all work, even checked it when the light comes on and they are fine? Any thoughts?

Hi! I had exactly the same problem! I gave the throttle bodies a good clean with a toothbrugh and carb cleaner and had no problems since! Good luck!

I had this recently and next to the TPS there is a small black electrical block, check the connections, I did mine and it fixed the problem permantently.

Hi! It's an NA mate. So what could it be?

There is a black electrical connector block to the right of the TPS. Does anyone know what this is for and what is operates? I ask, as my idle is a bit dodgy (intermittent) at the mo, but when I push the two plugs together (as there is a bit of play and it doesnt clip properly with age) the revs settle to how they should be?

more developments. There is a black electrical connection clip with wires near the tps sensor with another connector going into it. What is this as when I squeeze the two plugs closer together it goes back to normal idle? It pushes in by about 5mm so it is loose. Is this connected or is it just fluke it idles fine when pushed?

all finished! 17 hours in total. Looks mint and has transformed the car, now looks new, a nice modern lease of life. Thanks to everyone for your help!

Fair enough. Is the back seat easier to reupholster than the front??

will i break the brackets by pulling it?? i want it to secure properly afterwards?

Sorry for being dense, but what do you mean by "two screws (1 each side) under the front center of each seat hole" Thanks

One question really, how on earth do I do it? Need to remove the back seat bench and seat back. Also, is there a frame or is it just foam? Asking as I am reupholstering it!

I will as soon as I have done the back, then at least it will all match!! Next task, get rid of the Gray Tweed trim!

the right hand side bolster was split and it just kept pushing forward when I was putting the skin on. fortunately I fixed it!

just finished the drivers side seat. What a ball ache, bolster was fooked too! Back seats left, hopefully easier!

Actually got a really good shape and fit on the seat base, the seat back is the main problem. The only thing I am struggling with on the base is how to attach the bottom of the cover to the underside of the seat so it pulls taught.

UPDATE:- Fitted one of the seat covers last night (7 hours). It was a hell of a ball-ache job. I couldn’t get the stitching on the side of the bolsters directly in the middle for love nor money and they now site about ¼ inch around the side. Looks pretty good though, just need to finish off the bottom when I get some “wire coat hangers”. Anyone else fitted these and had any problems getting the stitching 100% in the middle of the bolster?

Sure! Drop me an email at jonathan.sharp@bssgroup.com and I will send them to you!

I have got it! It seems relatively straightforward, the instructions I got from the guy who sold them was just about 60 photos!!!!

I am hoping to get the front seats done tonight and leaving the back until next week, we will have moved house then and dont want boxes spoiling the covers!! I have allowed a good 12 hours for the front 2. hope this will be enough!

Dreading fitting this leather retrim kit! Starting tonight! Any tips from anyone thats fitted one? how long per seat is estimated? Thanks

they dont work like that, the original tweed ones need to come off and the new ones properly fitted in there place.

Got my seat cover kit arriving tomorrow, now I have read that it is a pain to fit. Does anyone know of anyone in Nottingham that can do it for a reasonable price? Thanks

I bought a set of this 6 weeks ago and they are arriving tomorrow! Fingers crossed they will be easy-ish to fit!
