I managed to get it off last night using a claw hammer and quite a lot of
force. The lever is very slightly damaged underneath, but won't notice
once the lever is back on. Hopefully I should get the various clips from
Rimmers tonight and I can finish one of the seats.
Actually last night I could have done with having two seats in my car -
some ?*!£ broke into my girlfriends car and broke the steering wheel off
when trying to snap the steering lock, so she needed picking up from
work, but I only had 1 seat! Fortunately she got a lift back with
another teacher. They didn't nick anything, but it's really
inconvenienced her now, let alone the cost of a new door lock, ignition
switch, steering column...
cheers
