Hi all
I have a my00 which has now done about 9k, the thing is that the drivers seat is showing sign's of wear, I showed the dealer 3 months ago and he said it was normal, well I have looked at numerous cars recently and none of them were the same. It is sort of as if you can see the foam through the fabric, has anyone else had this problem? and if so was it sorted by the dealer?

Hi Rich,
I don't think anyone could accuse me of being 'fat' do you?
Have you been to Darracott yet?

I went to the dealer today, and he's taken some digital pics of the problem, so that he can send them up to th IM warranty dept.
I guess we'll see.

Doesn't sound normal to me - My MY00 has just passed 15K - no signs of wear on my seats - fight it out with your dealer

Oh I plan to don't worry!
Even he said that it looked wrong, but strangely didn't jump to keep me happy.
We'll see

My drivers seat is exactly the same, i can see the foam 'pattern' through the material. i will be interested to hear how you get on the your dealer on this matter.

i drive a MY99 with 32k on the clock. The foam has been showing through for about 15k. seems to be about the same mileage/useage as yours. Sounds like a fault in the material.

Best of luck

Please can you let me know.
