Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Bought my car back in August but it came with a nasty scuff and hole in the leather on the driver’s seat.
I’d been quoted £140 for a repair but I’d seen one of those adverts on Instagram for “leather repair gel” which I later found out was poor quality but I did find a good UK-based seller of a product that would do the job.
Just about finished today, here’s the before and after. I’m pretty happy with it

I like it, what did you use? Mrs G has a small crease type mark in her car so could be interested in giving it a go.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
This stuff. Definitely recommended but as they all say, try on an inconspicuous area before making a start on it properly.

Welcome back
just a couple of things to remember . . .
a) we drive on the left here.
b) a bag of chips now won't be what you expect
c) you don't need to dive for cover if a car backfires

Finally had to bite the bullet and get a gardener in to help out with the more labour intensive jobs around the garden, but well pleased with the results.
