Morning. Just treated myself to a 1999 3.0l manual MV6. Think it's the mini facelift or facelift. It came with 18" upgrade alloys and stainless steel exhaust. Had it serviced and it seems mint but maybe rocker cover leak! Mines got the cloth trim but I want the leather.Just wondered whether the seats from a 1998 S pre facelift would fit mine? Also would mine have an LSD?

Hello & Welcome  :y

sounds like you have mini facelift to me - are your window switches either side of the gear selector?

any parts you want, then create an ad in the test zone.

may have an LSD, but highly unlikely.

in that case, the pre facelift seats are not a good idea, the heaters are incompatible, and the safety restraints are improved on the later ones, so would invalidate you insurance.

Thanks. Shame really cos i know someone with a set from the pre facelift they've also got the air bags, would it definitely mess with the insurance? Guess you'd need the heaters with leather seats!
