Can anyone recommend a solution, supplier who can fix my dash padding problem. The join between the dash material and the windscreen has come away on the passenger side and the padding seems to have, well lost its padding. Any solutions gratefully received. Many thanks in advance.

not sure which bit of the dash you mean. If it is the big domed section that covers the main instrument panel, then the job should be reasonably easy. It's a piece of fibre glass that can reasonably easily be removed from the car. I assume the padding is just a layer of foam rubber with the outer vinyl covering stretched over it. Probably just a matter of removing the vinyl and replacing the foam. You could do quite a crappy job with the edges coz they're all hidden from sight once the dash is back in the car.
If however you mean the vinyl covered bit that actually butts up against the windscreen's rubber seal, then the job would be quite a bit more fiddly.
