Hi all,

I have bought a complete Oatmeal interior to replace our black interior. My XKR is a '00 and the seats are from an '01 car.

They have the separate head restraints and airbags but are in such good condition!

After receiving some advice, I matched up the wirie colours to the car loom but I cant get the adjusters to work. On one button, you can hear a motor,but no action :(  .

 

Does anyone have any wiring diagrams for the seats that they can share please?

 

Failing that, I will be stripping down the original seat base and swapping with the frame and loom onto the new seat and fitting the newer back.

 

Not too concerned about the electric headrests, but getting the seat adjustment and seat heaters to work would be great!

 

Cheers guys

This is a common fault on the XK8 and here is a video showing you how to repair it.
