Re: 240 keys

The car throughout my childhood was a 1983 240DL estate "A233 MUR". Dad ran that well past 200,000 miles.

Re: Rescue Car: R5 - Black Manual SR Turbo

I have two main cabin carpets from leather interiors, one badly stained in the back the other with a hole in the front (eaten away by rust). Unless we can source a good one, I'll be making one out of two with the join under the seats. Boot carpet may have to be left to the new owner to source. Yes ...

How can you remove these trims, is it particularly easy??
They can be removed easily enough as they're stuck on with some sort of adhesive.
Just pull them off or use something like a hairdryer to weaken the adhesive?
