I'm not sure about the Jag seats but have come across similar problems on other cars where the drive from the motor gets "lost" due to a coupling failure on the seat. If you can only access the bolts with the seat completely moved forward or backwards you may have to crawl under with a mirror, torch and a pair of grips, identify the rod that isn't turning when it should and turn it with the grips to move the seat backwards and forwards so you can remove the bolts. Will be a very slow operation but at least you'll be able to remove the seat, find and fix the fault and then refit it.

so I will need special tools to remove from the Dashboard

Probably not, depending whether yours is a facelift or not, you remove the two clip in panels next to the radio and drawer/cubby hole and remove the four bolts holding the radio/drawer assembly in, pull it out and you can then unplug and remove the CCM - later cars are different and i'm not sure how they come out. The small panel below the CCM also needs popping out, this houses the heated seat switches and behind it are two more bolts holding the CCM in.

You can see those two bolt holes, one near the aerial plug and if memory serves there's another pair, one each side further up.

Yep #14 fuse blown  - replaced turned inaction on panel lite up for a sec then shutdown new fuse blown - so trying to look at wiring diagram to see where to start looking for a short.  Many thanks 

Good luck with that, the fault may be within the CCM so if you can, it's worth unplugging that and trying another fuse - if the fuse survives then chances are it's the CCM.

OK, try fuse #14, 10A and fuse #20, 10A in the primary junction box. They could just need the blades cleaning to restore normal operation.

After 4 weeks not using the car I find that there is no power to the complete Climate Control panel display. Im unable to locate a fuse or relay - any advise / help appreciated 

Can you alter things like fan speed, air direction (eg feet, screen, vents etc) and temperature? If so, it's safe to assume you have power to the Climate Control Pack and it would appear the VFD display has gone. However, sometimes they can "revive" themselves when the car is used and the circuits dry out again - high possibility the circuits boards have a certain amount of moisture on them.

Thanks Tony, you have another PM about this! Just details of payment but i'm out with the hound shortly so won't be back on (even if the site shows me as on here) for about an hour.

Good luck for the MoT Dave, hopefully there's a further update that can be done with a USB stick or similar to update the OS so your weather app works as it should again.

Very nice and welcome aboard!

Welcome Don! Keep your left leg tucked under the seat, if you don't you'll nosedive it when you have to stop quickly! Been there, T-shirt etc! 😛
