Don't be fucking stupid that's well above their pay* grade.

I wouldn't know how to do it anyway.
Those seats look really comfy. It looks a push to get three in the back though.

It's bigger than you think inside tbh. The drivers seat needs a new foam in the bottom of it I think, it's not as comfy for my skinny arse than it should be, the one in the SRDT is better. Looking at the wear on the fabric on the seat and the way it feels flat I think the previous owner may have been on the lardy side? The seat bolsters aren't worn but the seat base is which is unusual.

I need to order some of these I think? I've got to move a washer, fridge and drier in a bit and getting fed up of the tailgate sometimes staying up and sometimes not. Plenty of potholes and rough road on the way there to test my fix* on the heater.

Fingers crossed the fan is sorted, I had it on flat out on hot to try and start drying the seats out.

After moving several fridges, a freezer and a tumble dryer earlier I had another play with the trim dye. I did the window uprights a few days ago and they are definitely looking improved. Only one coat on the bumper so far but I don't think it can be made much worse than it was?

It does seem to have come up well.

It seems to cover pretty well I'll give it that. It's a pretty extreme test of the stuff tbh as it's light grey, any blackness disappeared a looooong time ago. How long it lasts is another thing but it's meant to have UV inhibitors in it?

It was gradually looking a bit smarter but it's absolutely covered in white dust from the road salt kicked up from the traffic on the main road at the mo. I've still to finish polishing it and waxing it yet.

What dye did you use? There's a couple of bits on the van I need to do.

It's American stuff. All the reviews seemed to be very good indeed. Not cheap but it's doing the job and seems to go a long way. The foam applicator is also just right for the job.

I seem to have developed knob rot FFS

I thought I'd got away with that little trait when I first got the car but that has turned out not to be the case. That was yesterday, this evening while reverse parking outside it totally fell to bits
