Hi guys. I seem to have made a cock-up somewhere! The parts that I got were the black cover that goes underneath the rear seat base but I need the disks that clip into the rear footwells.

The diameter of the disk that I took off is actually 150mm - I would guess that this must be the 158mm diameter that I need then? I have also realised that I need a new bolt to secure the steering wheel to the column - I think it is an odd size like M14 as I can't find one anywhere else and a few (a...

I measured the on in the car at just over 50mm so I guess I must need the 58mm. I think I will need 2 as well. Thanks.

'Shit stain' left over after stripping out sound deadening.

Bit of a stupid one this, but does anyone know of an easy way to get rid of the brown 'aftermath' that is left in my car after stripping out the sound deadening? It looks gash but I'm hoping it might come off with some white spirit or summint... or am i gonna have to get the sander out?
