The pretnesioner for seatbelt and side airbag should plug straight in.

motor power is just 2 x 12v and 2 x 0v - hold fire, I'll dig out some docs

when we plug in the cables the seat doesnt want to know it should be cause it came out of a car like mine my bro paul w on here says its 2 wires i have no i dear how to fix this one bit

[vauxfan2k]

assuming both seats are the memory type, try changing over the control unit from the black seat onto the cream seat.

(The black box the wires connect to underneath the seats)

the new seat is memory but the black one wasnt
it just has no power to it when in the car at all but the seat does work

[vauxfan2k]

ahh, then you will need to make a wiring adaptor like I did, using the instructions that TB posted

easy enough if you have a section of loom from the donor car

I've just finished sorting this for him, I basically cut the memory part of the loom off, and then connected the relevant wires together about 1.5 inches from the plug which goes into the relay box.

However... the bolts which were used to hold his old seats in were too short to hold the Memory seats in.  They had Blue threadlock on, I had to use the ones out of my own Elite to fit his, which were longer and had Pink thread lock...  Does anyone know the P/N for the bolts with the Pink threadlock for memory seats??  As he owes me 4 bolts now...

Also, airbag light is on, need to get that seen to...

But it does look alot better than the black leather!  Tempted to fit cream to mine now...
