    Now then tell me more about the seats ? Do they have air bags and did you have to get them re coded ? Heated ? Runners ?
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    The seats do not have airbags no so no need to have anything recoded. They bolted straight into my R53 on original runners, no welding cutting or extra rails needed.
    The one and only thing I had to do was buy a couple of 70p resistors from Maplin to close the original airbag circuit - no warning lights on dash job done!!

    Ok that's great .. Do you know where the resistors get fitted and the type that I'd need ?

    Sure it's these exact ones I had in mine bud, it's a 3.9 Ohm resistor I'm sure, happy to be corrected but I'm sure these are the ones.

    An auto spark would fit these in an hour mate, you can do it yourself too if your confident enough there are a few guides on various forums about doing it. Job itself isn't hard just 4 HEX screws, remove old seats, connect resistors to airbag terminals and slide new seats on screw back down - job done!! Obviously you have the battery disconnected during this process. I was going to attempt it myself but couldn't get some of the bloody HEX screws loose.
