The seats in my Wedge are Doeskin, and I've never thought that they were anything but cowhide. Don't like the colour personally.

Hi Hatter..The seats are definitely leather but i think the centre console and dash could be vinyl..To find out clean it with warm soapy water and rinse with fresh and dry with a toweling material,Treat as leather at first(see below)..Then place your hand on the dash for about 30secs and then feel it compared to the rest if its warmer then it is definitely vinyl..Treat with furniture polish or vinyl protector once washed and dried.
If there is heavy amounts of mould it may of weakened the stitching..On the leather make sure its dry to start with then wipe the mould off with a damp cloth,Throw that cloth away after..Allow to dry again..Then use either leather cleaner or a VERY mild soap..Baby shampoo is best or for green mould you can use 1/4 rubbing alcohol with 1/4 water and dab onto mould..Again allow to completley dry and the condition with leather conditioner...This process is ok on deerskin but if you have suede or nubuck it will need professional cleaning..Auto-glym do some good leather norishing products but always test on a small area first.Good luck..Ziga

What's this HIAB?

Is it that seized up that I could not be winched on!

HIAB and Glass fibre don't go down well!

Do hope it went without problems and look forward to pics and seeing it at BBWF!

My Hiab's were normail attached to a set of tracks not a truck.
