Private or garage sale?

Looks stunning, mind the amount of detail you put into it, I wouldn't expect anything else. Looks like the dogs like it too 👍

Thanks for the tips

Yeah, my seats are leather, I'm not sure if I have hog ring pliers. But I'll get a pair of not. Thanks

Thanks, the old split one looks like the same rubber diaphragm that I have just got. Although mine came from a company that produces rubber items, so maybe better built Fingers crossed

I like the sound of that, I'll get the seat out and have a go. I'm hoping that nothing else is broken, but I'm sure I'll find out. Thanks for the info

I was in the car the other day and noticed the passenger front seat had lost it's base support. Looking underneath, I could see some bits hanging down. Had a Google and found that the diaphragms can split. I ordered one from an online company, It's arrived today, and looks pretty substantial, so...

Strange 🤨

I think so

My Mate broke his arm while on holiday in Minorca, he arrived at the hospital and the first thing he was asked, was for his medical insurance or credit card number. He had travel insurance and the E card and it was sorted out quickly. Would they still attend to you if you didn't have these??

Don't forget your box brownie

Yeah, looks like the headlight washer from a D1. How about fleabay

No, I offered to go over and help open it up, bar/metal hole cutters. But he said he would contact me if it was his last option, so God knows what he's doing.

Possibly the main seal or further up the block.

I've got a good wrecking bar, so will give that ago. Thanks

See post 17😉

If he's run the engine, the oil will splash about and could leak. But he's not put oil in so it can't be from the sump.

He's says he's found one on eBay, so I'll leave him to it. I'll give him a hand to open it up, wouldn't the lock be hi tensile steel or some other type of unbreakable/cut-able metal.

If from the rear, it could be from the main seal. But you haven't run it up, because you have no oil in the pan. Maybe remove it and see if you can see it tracking down

It can't be from the sump, if you haven't put oil in yet and it's a new sump?? It must be from another source.
