My Mum has managed to burn a "lovely" hole on the front seat of the car (Avensis).Any advice on the best way (if possible )to cover this up or repair it.

If you're not confident of your DIY abilities, I think some of the companies that do "paintless" dent repairs also do interior trim repairs. This involves patching the hole and blowing fibres onto the patch to match the trim colour.

Depends on the size/position of the repair but the smart type repairs are not usually very durable.Best way is to sew a seam thru the hole by removing the cover,by machine,if it looks odd,put a seam thru the passenger seat also.Then stop smoking in the car.
