I would have thought any good upholsterers should be able to do this - try having a look in your local yellow pages, I bet someone advertises auto upholstery.

Mine is doing the same too. I'm also in Bradford. Do you think the two things are related?

I'm not rushing to get the seat repaired, it is still comfortable and the car has cost a lot recently with exhaust, brakes, tyres, droplinks, MOT and insurance!

Must be a Bradford thing then Ben.I'm going to take the seat cover off and try and get some sponge in there to help,Its a shame cos the car is in excellent condition.I'll just have to keep checking the breakers yards till one turns up.

I would be tempted to remove the cover, cut some sponge to shape and glue it in, once covered up you'll never know...
