2008 Jaguar XKR Seat problems

Hi,

I have a 2008 jaguar XKR which I have had nearly 4 years and apart from regular services and normal replacement parts it has never given me any problems until today. Went out for a short trip and decided to recline my seat slightly but it went back a bit far so pushed the button to bring it upright but it would not move up, all other seat functions are OK apart from that the strange thing is the passenger seat has the same fault, I have checked the fuses F29 through F32 and all ok, tried the window reset still the same, also disconnected the battery for a couple of hours but no change, battery is new (Replaced 6 weeks ago) it was fine before we left as I did adjust it before we went out. any pointers or help would be great as I dread to think how much Jaguar will charge for diag. Thanks all.

Try this first, move the seat forward so that the seat has room to recline as far as possible and then recline the seat but hold the switch down for at least 5 seconds once it has reached its limit. Then try and recline forward to its limit and hold again for at least 5 seconds.

If this does not work then you will be forced into a recalibration by a dealer or independent specialist.
