Hi, I'm looking for advice and guidance on this one. I have an Octavia 2008 VRS estate. I love the car but its now at an age where little things are starting to fail. The drivers seat is showing signs of wear and the seat bolster on the right hand side is digging into my thigh and causing a dead leg on longer trips. I've attached a picture of the seat and you can see the fabric all creased. Would you say the foam bit in the seat needs replacing and is this an easy job for a competent home mechanic to do or best left to a dealer? Any ideas on costs of the parts and any you tube or photo guides anywhere on how to do this. I imaging the seat has to come out, but it has an airbag, so can i just disconnect the battery and be safe? The bolts holding the seat in look like the the spline type, is it a 10mm size required? Thanks in advance.

Sorry to be pedantic, but the value for the current supplied for the heater got me interested! The formula for power is Power = current x voltage (P=IV), above we know that 1000 = current x 240 So I = p/v in this case 1000/240 which is approx just over 4 amps! 84 amps is one hell of a think cable!

Yes, I would like to know how to do this as well if anyone knows, Thanks,

Thanks to Jon Boy 984 for selling me his Neptune Alloys, had them refurbished, totally stripped and powder coated at Total Wheel Works in Nottingham. I picked a dark gloss gray and the result is fantastic. I think it has totally transformed the car, looks rather aggressive!
