Philmo 0 Posted January 24, 2010 Fitted new plastics to the seat runners on the drivers seat. No more wobbling around. :) Then drove it. Also started and moved the 16v. If that was the first movement this year - it will have been painful! :shock: HNY :wave: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
