    Welcome Paul. The closest I've ever got to liking leather seats was a half-leather/half-cloth set in a Volvo. Apart from that, it's slippery, not durable, yes - cold in the winter and unbearably hot in the summer, not that we get them up north! I go for cloth every time. Good luck with the work. The car's looking fine already!

    Hi Paul and welcome. I am in Barnsley which is not far from you if you need some help. I agree with Julian though leather is a pain in a MK1, I have MK2 turbo seats in mine which are leather on the sides but alcantera on the base and back which means you don't slide around

    Thanks for all the replies chaps, it looks like the dead cows are history then!

    I'm 95% certain I'll be doing the Peak District run so I'll have a chat with people then and make a firm decision on what route to take with the seats.

    Can anyone recommend a not too expensive body shop as I have a few niggles that will need sorting in the not too distant future, and I also need the engine checking over as there's a very light oil leak coming from somewhere?

    Thanks in advance,

    Paul

    Just spotted this ad on IMOC from a guy after some leather seats. Might be worth giving him a shout if you wanna move yours on, or maybe he even has some cloth to part ex?

    Here's the link

    Thanks Rick, but I think he's looking for "excellent to mint" - the only mint (polo) part of my seats are the holes....
