Does anyone know if the wiring loom for the seats is the same for the D8 and D9? and where the loom actually joins into the cars circuitry if it is a block connector etc. I've sussed out all the seat switch functions in relation to the motors and believe i can hard wire these in if the worst comes t...

Guy's

do 406's have a tendancy for the pipes to corrode? my air cons gone also and I assumed it might be the same problem as on 306's (which do suffer with the pipes) just curious as to how common the compressor goes if it is a regular fault

cheers
