So I have replaced the drivers seat base using the How to's found the metal side support snapped off so welded back painted and fitted the base which was the nears side one from another car.
I've also polished a spare fuel cap to replace my tatty one.
Took her out for a spin and noticed when hot the oil pressure almost non existent. Changed the oil today to 10w60 following searches here but has made zero difference. Going to check the pressure with a pressure gauge but which port should it be screwed into. There are 3 sensors and what looks like a blanking grub screw in the oil filter housing. Looks like I'm into a bottom end rebuild sooner and as per barnacles advice.
