Think I may be able to put this to bed. Have had a look on the Citroen equivalent of Servicebox (same layout, but all in French) & the seats are different. 406 front seats have 3 horizontal mounts, but one of the mounting points (at the front next to the centre console) is slightly diagonal. Xantia front seats have 4 horizontal mountings. Rear seats look similar, but the squab has a different shaped contour underneath which would probably prevent it from sitting right. Same goes for the C5 interior - front seats have 4 horizontal mounting points. Admittedly, there is still a possibility of adapting the parts to make them fit i.e. mounting Xantia seats to 406 bases, but it would be experimental, time consuming & of very little benefit considering how cheap a 406 leather interior is. Mine is probably the most expensive purchase in recent months (£250 for half leather with 4 doorcards & the black dash parts inc carriage) & many people are getting hold of good leather interiors for little more (or less than) £100.

cheers mate,
thats that idea gone outa the window then
ive been looking at interiors there expensive,
ive seen 406 ones go cheap but there millions of miles away ..
iwill keep looking in the scrapyards one will turn up one day
Whereabouts are you? Most of the ones I see that go cheap(ish)are up North. Mine came from Norfolk, but cost £50 to get it shipped. If you find 1 that goes cheap enough, you may still be able to get it to your door for less than £150 & that's still not unreasonable. Plus you have the advantage of not having the seat airbags (which mine has) which allows you to fit any set of seats you like.
