It costs you nothing to take the seat out & have a look!  ;) Disconnect in the correct order though, or it'll cost you to reset the airbag light.  ;D  ;D  :y  :y

The driver's seat heating in my '98 Elite has gone too!   :'(

The heating in the other seats still works though.

Apologies if this has already been covered but are there any simple checks that I can do to see if it's something silly that has failed? (Power connection???)

If the heater pad's not working am I right in thinking that the easiest solution is to get a replacement seat?

I'd be grateful for any advice.

Cheers.   :)

Use your multi-meter to check whether you've got 12V to the seat, if so, then the likey case is the  heater pad is fubar'd.
Even if you have leather - which a dealer will say you've to replace the seat cover to repair - just put a seperate heater pad, intended for fabric seats, in under your existing seat cover.
