manual to electric seats
I have a 2002 rapier estate and quite fancy a set of leather seats,i have seen quite a few for sale but the front seats always seem electric adjustment,how hard are they to wire up seeing as my seats are manual adjustment.

Re: manual to electric seats
Without memory it seems like it's fairly straight forward, all you've got to do is provide the power. Memory seats are a different matter, you'll need the ecu and some wires and... I'll let you know in the spring...

Just get an ecu tray whilst at it, to protect the ecu - I paid £10 posted for mine off ADE1122 on the coupe forum

Re: manual to electric seats
does the heated seats work when doing this ,
i wouldnt mind a set of leathers in mine but was always put off with the electric side of things, when you say memory seats, does that mean the seat resets to a certain position everytime you put power to them ? or will they stay were they are put ....
might sound stupid that question but never delt with electric seats before
