36 odd thousand miles and the foam is breaking up.
Yep, driver's side seat back foam starting to break up after just 36 odd k miles! You can feel the end of a tubular steel bit of seat back the right had side of the lumber.

Looks like Michael will be getting a few Exmoor Trim goodies before Helen at this rate.

What kind of seats do you have? There are at least two to choose from. Janusz

In mine they are the half leather heated seats. Just ordered new foam from Trackers and a khaki bikini hood for my 2a whilst I was at it Wink.

Had the same on mine. My first seat got stolen before it was replaced under warranty ( someone has a nackered seat now ) and then my replacement seat had the foam problem within a year and was replaced under warranty. A bad design I would say.

I had the same thing with my old TD5 110 - put it down to me being a bloater.

Lancasters took one look and ordered me a new seat - no fuss, no problems. John
