Now the experts will say, what is this lunatic talking about!!

Just got back from my drive to sydney and beyond and the drivers seat base feels like i am sitting on a brick. after 1/2 an hour I get a numb bum as well as the peripheral sciatic nerve pain.

Recently someone put a reply up as to where you could locally get new seat foam specifically for a disco, does anyone remeber who it was or at least where I can get one?


thanks

Mine is badly sunken as the previous owner was a very pleasant, slightly larger lady.

The part number is MXC7870, but I don't know of a price - I like the look of the exmoor trim part though Exmoor Trim & Trakkers.

Or JDNSW's thread-

Which I think led to an article in the magazine.

Had a look, can't find it.

I think a genuine foam base is ~$300 (don't quote me!)
The diaphragm can be repaired if you or your Mrs is handy with a sewing machine. I think that I contributed to a thread on this.
After repairing mine I still had to cut a piece of foam and put it under the cover to boost me up a little. I like to sit up high

thanks fellas
your on the right track,
I know I saw it, but it may not have been related to the post heading.
It was a L/r part no and the price was under $100.locally supplied

Thanks simon I had the right keywords for jd's articles but not the saggy one.

Tassie had a look at the other article may have a crack at it if i can't find a local source, My Mrs sew, thats funny, no I do all that.

Will wait and see first,whether the person who put the price and place up appears. before i start pulling seats apart.

many thanks for your input.

Mate.... The seat bases are the same for both passenger and driver buckets, so if you're in a pickle for time you can swap them over. Real easy.

I got a seat cushion / swab from MLR for a bit less than $100 a few years ago.

Could you please give us more detail on "MLR"?
