After reading some of the posts on here by people, i know she is maybe new,excited and learning lots but how about 'we' make an effort to help and be constructive as opposed to destructive?
Just an observation not a critisism :mrgreen:

Thought she was looking for a seat not an interior. Now who is being destructive then? Cooper is going all over the place like a jumping bean with misinformation and misunderstanding. Yesterday she couldnt get a window winder off and now she is talking about solid shaft de couplers ..... that is an observation!

You send them away to be repaired, either to Brickwerks or to the guy in Switzerland ....

You wanted a Syncro and got one

Now you need a new VC then it's a "working" Syncro....

As for legality of rear seats - if it says "motorcaravan" on the V5 then anyone can sit in the back, seatbelts or not afaiK.

(I do not, necessarily, condone the transport of un restrained rear passengers - for their own safety or mine)

Please read previous answers on various threads, but basically it's a refurb item - you send in yours plus a few quid and get a replacement....
What a long strange trip it's been

Your being arguementative when there really is no need.
I was offering assitance instead of pulling words/sentances apart. I would IMHO advise against fitting just the seat as it would look quite silly without the panels that wouldnt fit anyway being a RHD. thats the only point i was suggesting/offering.
Youre right though, shes young and excited, thats not a crime. Heaven help the server if everyones threads were as lengthy as hers.
I just think some of the posts on here have gone from being good natured to some being quite caustic.
