Title: passenger seat
Post by: pauls on 26 August 2015, 17:25:19

When I had my cdx estate my front passenger seat folded flat can you get these in leather for a elite saloon

In a word, no...

Your options are:
Get.over it
Swap the seat for a folding one and lose the electric recline and fore/aft movement

You might also struggle to find a folding seat in leather, but that's a different issue. Fundamentally, the electric recline and fold flat.mechanism are mutually exclusive :'(

Harris, do you know if the folding seat was standard on all cdx estates? Mine has it but I've been on the lookout for a heated leather cdx interior (quite rare I understand) so that I can have the best of all worlds.

I don't off the top of my head, all my plod estates had it, my Elite doesn't and my Cd and Sport didn't...  So CDX only might be a reasonable assessment :-\

All CDs and CDX's had the fold flat passenger seat, immediately identifiable by the lever on it

I seem to remember now somebody else asked this question about a year ago. Another member stated you couldnt get it in leather but he converted one so it would fold flat. Iam not to good at searching old threads but iam sure  its there somewhere.

TB, I'm not sure that's true, for example:

This FL one for sale on the bay is a CD and doesnt have it (judging by the photos). (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Omega-2-6-V6-Estate-Automatic-Good-condition-MOT-/231661340557?hash=item35f017878d)

Seems like it was an option on CD and CDX - makes sense as the other variants had different seat "styles".
