If they're from a facelift CD or CDX, then straight swap, just disconnect the battery first, wait 30 mins, and renew seat bolts etc,etc. :y

If they're from an Elite, then you'll need different bolts (longer), and possibly a second live feed to the seats :-/, depends on wiring built into the car. being a late one you might get lucky with the loom, in which case as above (with longer bolts). :y

HTH,

Al. :y

Mr Al Above is spot on, long as they're not from an elite/prefacelift model, it should be a pretty simple swap!

Just be aware, early Omega seats didn't have the side airbag in the seats ;)

Also, PFL cars had mechanical pre-tensioners which MUST be locked before removing from the car with the red locking tab.

These will be for cars without side airbags also so beware!

just on the same topic....

I just bought a full leather interior from a mini Fl, for my Pre FL.

What fitting issues will i have to deal with in the swap.

My Pre FL is a select model....only has electric height adjustment.

Was just reading through this thread and was thinking "wow, 100 quid sounds like a bloody good price for F/L MV6 leather".... seems like it was actually too good to be true...  :-/

Keep looking mate, something good will come up!

I know Albs has got a full black leather interior from an 02 elite, that won't be silly money!!  :y
