I reckon it'll be made by sinclair and be 48k.

Well apparently it controls turbo boost (mines na) egr and maf (mine has neither) and the immobiliser (bypassed by a wire from battery to solenoid) so pretty much nothing.

Oi piss off & start a thread for ya bloody van.

Right, the cunting bastard arsehole wankstain shitfuck of a seat is done. That's a job I never want to do again!

I've got the official Jag workshop manual & it's surprisingly useless considering how good it's been for other stuff. The biggest problem is it doesn't show colours or how any of the potentiometers fit, so made it damn difficult to remember which motor was which, how to put it all back etc.

I had to strip everything down, as mine being a memory seat has a different loom for all the potentiometers which means everything has to come out to fit the potentiometers as well.

Have a few pics..

The underside of the replacement seat before strip down. Everything that makes up the basic seat. The bastard front seat lift reduction box that can't be fitted after refitting the runners despite what the Jag manual says & therefore took me sodding hours to get back in place. The final seat built far enough to be electrically complete & tested in the car before I put the rest on, thankfully it all worked. The black bits on top of the reduction boxes here are the potentiometers, the other reduction boxes are missing the output shafts to drive these. They can be added but as you'd have to remove the boxes from the seat it was easier to just use the originals. The underside done on the replacement seat, just a few wires in there. You'll have to imagine it fitted in the car, it looks exactly the same as before but is much nicer as the backrest doesn't wobble about.

I'm now fucked from crawling about on the floor doing all this & my knees feel like I'm a £5 whore in a busy truck stop.

Couldn't you just buy another Jag with a decent seat?

And go through everything else to get a working Jag around the seat? no thanks. I would make sure I'd got a memory seat if I ever had to do this again though.
