That's a shame that they don't. They'll be ok provided they are narrow enough, although the S Turbo seats also have belt guides that may or may not be relevant.

I have, they don't any more.... Will have to track a set down at some point unless the Cobra 7s in my SEiW would be ok...

No worries. We have a plan to get back lol

Sorry, I've already passed my IVA parts onto another owner a few months back. It's worth asking the factory if they now loan out Sport Turbo seats for the test.

At that time you should be ok but as the king has some gigs on at Sandringham over the weekend the traffic is mad..yep worse than normal for silly season.. Mariah Carey tonight.. 😀

That sounds suspiciously like a long list of get-out clauses to me

A friend used to own a shop, one of his more memorable cases was a destroyed engine due to cam belt failure. The belt was covered, but since the idler locked up, AND WAS EXCLUDED, the whole claim was denied A lot of shops hate them, simply for the aggravation of dealing with them

I'm out tomorrow, so unlikely to make Sunday, sorry. Have a great peaky blat all!

It's more the weasel words you need to check on T's and C's. They do there best to put everything down to wear and tear to avoid payout. e.g. Gearbox noises may be excluded as long as it works etc. They will only cover things that have stopped working so if a gearbox shaft snaps it will be covered buy synchro's, teeth grinding, noises etc will all be ducked!

Or a Toyota engine Lotus Marcus? Interesting. I've had warranties in the past and claimed no problem. I was very grateful when a sunroof motor went with the roof stuck open 😐 For the AA one: What is insured? ✓ Almost all of the manufacturer’s original mechanical and electrical components as detailed in the policy document ✓ Diagnostic charges form part of a claim under this policy as agreed with our claims engineers ✓ In-car entertainment / Sat Nav providing the equipment is factory fitted up to a maximum of £500 including VAT ✓ Remote key fobs / key cards covered for electrical failure up to a maximum of £200 inc.

Just buy a Toyota they last forever 😆

I sent them an email, I will give them a call and see what they can do. Thanks.

Thanks I will take a 👀

Happy Birthday to your Dad. ☹️ you’re not able to join us but we will find cake to celebrate from a distance 🤪

I've never managed to claim successfully on one of these warranties.

Sorry not us 😪 it’s Dads 90th birthday so having family around 🫣 have fun and see you next time xx

…puts yet another red mark next to @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman)’s name in my black book…

You would be amazed… well, no you wouldn't - at what isn’t covered and how much gets excluded as consumable, fair wear and tear, etc, under those policies. Smoki-Wan Cartonly is correct. Service to requirements, and save money for breakdowns.

Running without them (or doors) above 50 mph causes the well-known phenomenon of Westie Nose and an inability to breathe. With them, the issue disappears and it’s quite comfortable, although you’ll still get blown about from behind as the air rushes in to fill the vacuum created. Highly recommended. AFAIK there’s no issue with getting them specifically for narrow cars as opposed to wide, they should still fit, but make sure the kit comes with the hinge halves! The factory do them but you’ll probably find them somewhat* cheaper on FleaBay, etc. *as in “much, much”

In my experience anything other than a manufacturers warranty is a waste of money and you’re better off simply putting the same money aside each year for any unexpected repairs. It’s worth checking in detail what components are covered and whether this just includes failure or also intermittent fault, as many independents don’t cover the latter. I’ve had a few claims denied in the past for leaking oil seals and sensors etc that are out of calibration and misreading but because the component hasn’t physically failed the cost hasn’t been covered.

That's a shame, I do like a Tillett seat, used them karting for decades.

Cheers. Inatrim looks good for selection, but as you say, would be a visit to try a few. Removeable head rests would work too. Can I ask how well the side screens work and still supplied by someone ?
