I don't have the right tool to vac the carpet in the narrow gap between seats and doors in my 2007 XKR convertible. Tried all sorts of hoovers, hand vacs, etc but none has a nozzle long and thin enough to get down there, even when the seat is tilted and pushed forward. What works?

There's also a lot of coin (as Spartacus would say) down there -- probably enough for a decent meal -- but I can't get my fingers down there either. Any ideas?

For the nozzle find something that is the right size and shape and gaffer tape it on to the end of the hoover nozzle. If there is enough suction you should be able to suck out the change as well.

You an buy extra long thin nozzles from valet pro website or of ebay. I usually get a length of garden hose and bodge it to the nozzle with tape, work a treat down seats etc.

Thanks - a search on eBay for 'flexi crevice tool' threw up a few options, mostly Dyson attachments but I'm giving this one a go at £6:
