No one come across this before ? never mind looks like a dealer visit as i do like being toasted, so they can also have a look at a whine from under bonnet perhaps alternator but warranty should cover..

Fuse 7 in battery fuse box ( under bonnet ) is the front heated seats
Fuse 8 in battery fuse box ( under bonnet ) is the rear heated seats
Both 25 amp fuses G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

ISTR there was an underseat loom length issue a couple of years back where the plugs pulled out of the connecting sockets over time, so DS's suggestion may be a good one? and theeeeennn......???

Checked both fuses and even swapped as back seats work and i did check under seats but could not see anything loose but i find it strange that both fronts fail at same time as surely they are seperate to each other so i assume its a wiring problem somewhere else in car...

Well looking at the wiring diagram ..the only other fuses which are in some way related to the heated front seats are
Fuse 28
Fuse 51
in normal fuse box
and fuseable links in battery fuse box 17E and 11E ...although i doubt it as one of those also powers the heater controls .
Have you had any work done around the heater controls recently ? G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Perhaps it's all related and you've got electrical gremlins related to a knackered battery? 2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +
