Just laughed at me when I needed a new rear light after it was broken in a car park :(

Got one off ebay for £50 in the end.

Ironic really, most of the people who run the majority of cars that they break are trying to do it on a budget - hence going to breakers in the first place - yet you have to be really rich to go to DVB! They think it's 'pile it high and sell it expensive'.

I've been once, but didn't want to re-mortgage the house to get some replacement seats. I got mine refurbished for £150 the pair by Phil http://www.vehicletrimming.co.uk/ who did a great job. He simply took the insides out, which he said were in good condition but had lost their support, sliced the foam in half like a cake (ask the wife) and inserted a new foam layer where your wife would put the jam (keep it clean please). He also made some alterations to the back support to. Top job, really firm seats, and a big saving over the DVB price.
