Just a little update.

Been having a few problems with the electrics.

Front drivers side indicators stopped working and the windscreen washer pump stopped working (wipers were still going)

Took it to my local auto electrition today and he said the wires were shot, so 2 hours later he had replaced a load of wire and everything is now working as it should.

Received my club umbrella the other day and wanted to put some brackets in the boot to hold it in place (i like things to have a place lol) but as pointed out to me a while ago there was no chance it was going to fit.

So i had another idea, got hold of some velcro straps and mounted it on the roll bar.

Nice and tidy, not in the way and doesnt get stood on if i put it behind the front seats and people get in the back.

The straps can be pulled tighter to raise the umbrella up if needed.

I got the carpet from work mate, the shopfitters left it once the shop was finished.

Its got padding on the underside which makes it more sturdy.

Should be able to get it from most carpet shops.

As for the heated seat elements I would have thought it would be difficult to get originals (i may be wrong)

Im sure you can get brand new universal elements off ebay that should work fine.

Ah rite lol,

Got that carpet off newton commercial.

There link is on the left.

Its not as good quality as the original but it is very good.

Yeah the universal ones should be fine.

You could buy used ones but you wouldnt know how much life is left in them.
