07 R Class now with 80something thousand miles on the clock. A few years back my seat started to crack on the side cushion of my seat, one crack lead to another & another. So last week I decided to bite the bullet & get something done with it. I just picked someone from the Interweb.
Yesterday afternoon they collected my seat and returned & re-fitted it at dinner time (that's a Northern dinner time ... not a Suvvern one ;)) .... needless to say that despite touching nothing ignition wise the airbag needed resetting :confused:

Before .....


After ....




If you were super critical, there's a very very slight difference in colour, and it's more matt than the original, but I'm just putting that down to being newer. All for £95 which I'm very pleased with. :D :D

dinner time? oh yes, the time you have something to eat when you get home from work in the early evening.

tea is a hot drink. so teatime would be when you wake up in the morning and put the kettle on.

Google is here to help you.

so northerners, its about time you started to understand that its breakfast, lunch then dinner.

its bacon rolls, sandwiches and wraps as well.

We had dinner ladies at school. (At dinner time :D)

Glad you got the seat sorted, I think it will blend in after a few hundred slides across it getting in and out. Who did it by the way? Could do with someone local.

re-read above. its quite clear to those down south that the north need more education and some serious catching up to do.

lets face facts, they have wigan pier which isn't even on the coast.

we've kept the north alive for 100's of years by giving them jobs, opportunities and a chance to look up to us as leaders. people they aspire to.:)

I'm sure it'll blend in given time. It was these http://walkdencarcare.co.uk/ as said, they came & removed the seat about 2 o'clock yesterday & returned today at 12 o'clock to refit. :D

lunchtime. we had break supervisors. lunch break supervisors.

But not everyone was in borstal. ;)


I am not from 'Up North but I had dinner time and dinner ladies at school.

I do however call it lunch, dinner is usually proper meal, tea is something I eat early around 6pm with the kids.

No such thing as school dinners for me, we walked home almost a mile and back again all on our own, At 11 years old we cycled 1½ miles each way.


Pleased your seat is all good, they have done a nice job there.

Talk about a thread getting hijacked...:p Didn't get one relevant answer.... Just to get back on track, I had exactly the same scenario on my 2003 ML, except mine got a lot worse before I got it fixed. Similar result. Cost AUS$100 but worth it. Seems the sliding in and out wrecks the fabric on the outer edge.

A duffle coat was the first coat I wanted at 14,,, with all my paper rounds I soon got one and loved it.
