I think its more they look too high possibly, the head rest is a rather odd shape right enough, kinda like some LEC,ers.... a bit too square.

How on earth do seals get that tatty? And why is there a cut in the hood at the front of the passenger window while the rear is fine?

Probably a setscrew came out and the transverse bar punched a hole upwards as it bounced around. Might not notice it on the passenger side but on the driver's side the screw lands in your lap so you know immediately - voice of experience there ...

Well, I'm the highest bidder - but reserve still not met, so as the dragons would say, "I'm out!"
(I was happy to pay the money I bid, but won't be increasing my bid to either discover the reserve or buy the car - I much prefer it when people either state a price, or start the auction at the minimum they are prepared to sell it for..... [/rant] )
Dave
Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Highest Bidder at £510 - people pay more than that for old (new) seals...
Agree about Reserve price Dave. ebay should remove it as the bidding algorithm needs the next highest bidder to be 1 increment below the Reserve price for the highest bidder to hit the Reserve. Start at the minimum and 1 bidder can win it..
PM sent.
