GPS Trackers
Has anyone used one of these? Found a few cheap ones on ebay and considered putting one in my 325 so I could 'track' it if it was to ever get pinched! (heaven forbid)
Heard mixed reviews so wondered if anyone had any experience?
Thanks

Auto starts are useful, it was fitted to a golf mk3 i owned when i bought it. A bit of a novelty item to show off with to your mates but it does come in handy on cold mornings.

Re: Restoring Leather Seats
I'll let you know haha, I was sure to put 5 coats of superseal on and 5 coats of satin laquer so its got a figting chance!
Fitted them in the car last night, felt a bit dry to the touch so going to soften them up with some autoglym leather balm

Re: Restoring Leather Seats
id say it took about 4 hours to sand each seat down, a further 2 hours applying the leather compound, an hour full clean, 2 hours sponging, 1 hour spraying colour, 2 hours laquer
Total about 11 hours per seat! Pretty ridiculous haha Thanks ppl
