    Default Question for anyone who's retro fitted a Travel Assistant - Vec or Signum

    Just wondering if there's anyone who's retro fitted a TA with a leather lid cover into a car with cloth seats - and would rather have a matching cloth lid!! Slim chance I know!! lol

    Reason I ask is that after seeing Mark the Cabby's Signum on Saturday, he asked why I only had the cloth lid on mine (his is leather and yet we both have Elites). I don't know was my answer. Not sure if it they didn't have leather lids on 03 models or what.

    So if anyone would rather have a cloth lid to match their cloth seats and swap me your leather lid, then I'd be very interested. I'd even stick some money your way for your troubles.

    I asked at my dealer today, thinking that you could just buy the leather skin that is on top. It detaches really easily, hence my assumption. Oh no, that'd be too simple. The TA is one unit, one part number. So if your tables break, or you get a tear in your cloth/leather - it's a brand new TA!!!! Dumb.

    I'm getting the feeling that the supplying dealer (who were cr*p) may have swapped something then! That's all I can think then if yours is an 03 and has leather lid. Hmmm.

    Yeah, looks like it Mark. They weren't my normal local dealer - a bit further away - and their overall service was sh*t.

    It's a long, long time after the event - but I'm still gonna give them a call and give them hell and see what I can get done.

    Heard a story lately that satnav cd's get swapped/nicked also before a car is handed to the owner ending up with an outdated version.

    Just rang the dealer and the Sales Director is going to ring back. He's out the office today but they're sending him an e-mail to contact me.

    Yep. I've got a Nov 04 Vec and a 2003 disc. Dealer says this is the 'norm'. I don't think I'd ever win this argument.
