It's a tricky fucker, but it's no big hassle, just undoing all the clips, they're not easy to get to and made of metal, a pair of long nose plyers and you're away. Any sort of upholsterers or even a textiles/sewing shop will EASILY be able to point you in the right direction.

Bit of wood on the jack, support the box with it (go a little past "touching" I'd have it so it was pushed up a touch), unbolt the mount, done.

If you can be bothered to take the seat covers off, many places can program a pattern into a machine and it can do what ever you want.

DP, sorry.

I wasn't sure on the first image, but the above is awesome.

Cheers mate, I imagine most people will just look through the pics, but it's worth writing as long as some read it. (I always sit and read others at work) :star:

Not being defensive mate, just saying, you've basically followed the guide wrong.

Like how it's all done properly, no expense spared, very very nice.

The metal ring on the ph1 was a bugger! :o

Press? TSK! If you're a bit of a nut and fancy going for it yourself, I did my powerflex dogbone mount with: Socket/spanner set Blow torch Metal hacksaw knife Big screw driver I just mullered what was in there with the blowtorch etc, and cut out the metal ring inside the smaller end with the...

A different colour and they'll look great.

It's going to be something ridiculous.... if you can get someone small enough to sit in the footwell, you can drive down a bumpy road slowly with them in the car, or move the seat all the way forward and get them to stick their head in the rear footwell*. Should be able to see/feel/silence...

There are so many new guides coming like that ;), it's just taking me a f**king age! (sorry) If you haven't changed the wiring, that's your problem, if you have, you've changed it wrong, it's as simple as that.

The painter's in kiddo?

At least you're honest. ;) Car looks good, I'm a bit scared, I think they're growing on me. Saw a black on in Epernay at the weekend and thought it looked brilliant....

Servicing time? Do you mean the intervals? Not too bad considering a basic service can easily be done by yourself tbh, it's just the belt's that are a bit of a pain. Do I hate mine? Do I f**k! A couple of the members off here do, due to the amount of time I spend with it on their drive, but I...

I'm sure a lot of people will be willing to give you a hand, get yourself some front springs and then no doubt someone will help you drop the front and back together. As for tyres, just get one camskill and get some low profile tyres in the correct size, 45 profile should do it.

Cheers mate. Take her to Epernay, 'mazin.

Go on then mate.

Me too! Went really well, I was so confident I didn't even buy breakdown cover (but I had your no. on speed dial) ;) I think the service did it good, just needs a ph2 tailgate and these silver f1's I'm getting. (you'll be getting an F1 hand delivered to paint I hope ;)) And Rob, my French car...

Sort me out, monkey boy. P.s where the hell/how the hell have you been?

I love it. You'd be nuts to sell, but it's up to you at the end of the day. I'd take the seats (as long as they haven't done 126k too) ;)

Quiet is awesome. (Before getting the 172, I never thought I'd say that)

There's plenty of us the other side of the bridge :D

Seriously dude, the way I planned it out meant that the drives were really quite short. Sidcup > Dover 1hr Dover > Calais 1.5 hrs (get breakfast, shop, goes in no time) Calais > Lille 1.25 hrs (stayed in Lille) Lille > Paris 2hrs (stayed in Paris) Paris > Champagne 1.75hrs (stayed in...

Seriously? Where the hell??? And where was my invite? :o Cheers mate, the green wheels are going for a while, and being replaced with silver ones whilst I finally get the one I fubar'd sorted, but apart from that (and adding a ph2 tailgate) it's just how I want it. Also, kudos for the...

Don't worry, at all. As said, it's massively common on that engine, and not a problem in the slightest.

Cheers mate, you cheeky fucker! It's a man-date. (I'm impressed you read it all tbh) ;) You'd be suprised, mine said, and I quote, "I quite enjoyed the drives actually". I let her do all the navigating, brave I know, but it made it more fun for her. Just had no sound on the satnav and she...

Ph1's are cheaper than you think for a lovely one!

Very impressive, it's taking it's time, but all the best things do.
