hi can anyone tell me if seats i got out of p plate d8 will plug and play into my w plate or will i have problems with air bag stuff
thanks in advance for any advice. oops forgot to say their leather heated electric with memory also do i have to disconnect battery or will it be ok

I put d9 in a d8 and I'm sure there is a topic on here say u can the wiring looks pretty much the same but the d9 come with side airbags well mine did so ent sure bout that part as I never wired mine in

If your original seats have side air bags ,you might have problems there,

perhaps youd have to remove the side airbags from the original seats and place them somewhere on the replacement seats,

some people are using the 20p Maplin's Resistors to fool air bags,

turns out it doesnt matter i dont have any wiring for the electrics except my airbag and seatbelt so wont be fitting thanks anyway

The wiring is easy well say easy I ent to sure in the memory and heated seats but just to have ur seat to move is simple gary406 done a post when he changed his seats

never mind ive given up because i got none of the wiring in my car so there off to fleabay for someone else to enjoy and make me jealous. i just dont have brain to sort them out thanks to everyone for your help

Would I be right in guessing that you have a 2000 model D9 then? My 2000/X isn't pre-wired for anything either. I did have a live feed run through to fit electric SE seats, but when a set from an SRi turned up I grabbed them as it saved having untidy extra wiring floating about. Also saved worrying about the airbags in the seats as the half leather SRi ones have them fitted. Keep an eye on Ebay for any D9 SRis being broken & grab a set. They don't come up often, but they can be found with a bit of determination. Don't bank on them being too cheap though unless you get lucky - I sold a saloon set on Ebay last year & they hit well over £200 & the winning bidder paid to have them shipped to Malta!

just to let everyone know i have now sucessfuly fitted seats into my d9 very happy and i even worked easy way to sort out backs on rear seats, simply cut original retaining bracket from d8 and bolted into place, slots already there,took out my release catches and they went straight in perfect
