    wwaswas- They had foil and clingfilm, which doesn’t really count, but there was a waterproof bootliner in the back which could have been binned as it only cost a tenner.

    It’s going to be a real pain daaling with this…

    to properly secure during transit you should use bunghee cords.

    I’m naan too sure that would have helped.

    You should really have told her to poppadom the back seat.

    At least it will give a different meaning from now on when she complains of feeling a little chilli in the passenger seat.

    blimey. thought mine was bad when on a ski trip, went to squeeze the suncream bottle, only to find the plastic had UV degraded and it shattered. car looked like a porn movie. cleaned most of it up OK, only to find that residual suncream stains on grey mats turn black, but on black seats turns white.

    least the big stain that looks like jiz on the seat is not *too* bad. mats can be replaced.

    1/2 hour ago I thought I bet his wife tries to blame him for it!

    My mother in law once blamed her husband for her crashing the car while he was over 200 miles away!
    Her reason being she was distracted from driving as she realised she could have a curry for tea as he wouldn’t be home & he doesn’t like curry?

    Seems to be a curry/car connection, anyway you better Ghee up and get it sorted.

    My dad once borrowed my car to take three stray cats to the cat’s home. He put them in a cardboard box in the boot, and the poor things were probably terrified. I can’t begin to describe the resultant pong! I had to drive around with the windows open for a few weeks, and nearly spewed a few times! I got some stuff from the pet shop which was supposed to break down the smells, but it didn’t have any obvious effect.

    Wow.

    Will the car still work without the seat? I’d just remove it and bin it. Tell HER that if she ever wants to EVER get in the car again she’ll have to buy herself a seat.

    This sounds like a good excuse for a new car no?

    How about an Octavia vRS, an Audi or a T5?

    That looks like the same interior as my Skoda Fabia Monte-Carlo.

    If so, early on its life we got Skoda to replace the seat ‘covers’, as the stitching had a defect.

    I didn’t realise but the whole seat fabric is a removable cover. Maybe worth considering?

    Bit dramatic but surely a new seat is available as a spare through the dealer network (probably at a cost of a million quid). Call the dealer.

    Oh and you know them big plastic storage boxes that you probably have filling your garage – the hazardous substance (bags of garden mank, old tins of paint, hot stinky food) goes inside one of them before it even gets near the vee-hicle. If I was you I’d have probably snapped a bollock about this by now.

    How does one snap a bollock?

    Actually, on second thoughts, don’t tell me.

    Give Midlands Car Care a call, they’ll be able to sort it.

    They have a mobile valeter who might come out to you.

    Rone- it is. Removable eh? How much is a cover do we think? I have managed to find a seat in the right colour 2 3/4 hours south for £125.

    Verses and scuttler- I am remarkably calm about it. I love cars (to the point where my garage actually has a car in it, not storage boxes) and am rather precious about mine but it’s just a seat, it’s not the end of the world. She seems also to be using the opportunity to sort the alloy that she drove into 4 different kerbs, once at 30mph, and the scratch she put down the side with an umbrella.

    I’m in a real pickle tray about what to do with it.

    The stress of it must be tiring, go rest your head on a pilau for a bit…

    A (thankfully) ex partner of mine tried to blame me for running into the back of a (Spanish Policeman’s) car on holiday once. I should have realised what was happening and pulled on the handbrake. Seriously, that was what he came out with.

    So it isn’t just women….

    Have you called your dealer? They will have part numbers for all replacement seat parts and will be able to tell you if they have them available.
    All seats are rebuildable, many backs zip on, most base fabric is fitted with hog rings.

    P.s. on a side note, with a 2nd hand seat that’s available… I’d have to assume someone hasnt pulled the factory seats from a scode fabia to install recaros.. So, consider the history of that seat. Likely from a breaker after crash? Do you want a potentially structurally effected seat in your car? You sure wouldn’t use the seatbelts. Be sure to ask the appropriate questions.

    I don’t know the cost, it was done under warranty.

    But yes it’s a cover. Surprised me.

    Worth a call to Skoda dealer?

    Just wondering if this is a household insurance claim? Spill a curry on a carpet or armchair.
