Hi,

I'm looking to give my X308 XJR a bit of a tidy up and looking to source a number of pieces of interior trim.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a suitable breaker's that accept visitors. I've bought secondhand via eBay before and found the condition of the items somewhat variable, hence my desire to look at items before I purchase.

Best regards, BOH

You don't say, or even in your profile

What area in the UK do you live

Berkshire Jag spares are in the Wokingham area.
Grub logger is down near Gatwick.

I've found them both really helpful.

I had the drivers seat repaired with two new panals on my XJR

Is that all that's required

Thank you to everyone for their thoughts.

I'm looking for oatmeal trim and indeed the driver's seat too. Unfortunately a previous owner did a poor job of refurbishing it and it would be difficult to make good. I've looked at replacing panels, however it looked quite expensive.

No, unfortunately the leather is tired and the frame has broken. There is a small disc that has broken off meaning it rocks, also when raising the seat it lifts wonkily. It may be weldable but a replacement would be easier.

Norman,

Can you recall who supplied the new panels?

Second hand drivers seats appear to be rare - at least in decent nick!

Thanks, BOH

I have seats, I would need to check the colours, I would not say they are in the best condition but I have seen worse
