Hate to spoil you plans but, you're not going to be able to plug the electric seats straight in.... The End

Is there no way of retro fitting the electrics for them - is the intelegence in the seat or in the car. I would have assumed probably wrongly the plug you plug the Airbags in would be the same is there an extra socket for the electric seats.
Any advice welcomed. Even thought about getting them re-trimmed lowest I have found is £1000+vat. I know Exmoor do them for £1500. I was hoping to get a set of seats for less than this!!!!!  15 3.0 RRS HSE - Silver

Keep dreaming methinks 
I have an unused 2nd & 3rd row of SE Ebony seats c/w all the fittings but I wouldn't even let that go for £1000......

Reckon a leather retrim is really your best option here...some folks do really high quality piped leather....I would have really liked piped leather like in the range rover but alas not for D3s 2007 HSE Java Black.....sold

When I bought my XS, the dealer (Guy Salmon Wakefield) had it in his showroom having been fully leathered out by a specialist. I think it looks great and not only does it look different to the 'standard' leather seats, (They aren't perforated), the seat backs are leather too unlike the standard leather seats which have vinyl backs. (Bet you didn't know that)!
I will try to post some piccies on my gallery for you to have a pike! Back in the game!

Sorry for delay, been putting up yet more chrissy lights! The electric meter spins so fast now that it causes a draught!
Thanks for the positive comments guys.
On the invoice from the dealer it says "Leather £900.00"
That's before V.A.T.

I know that a company called 'Nationwide Trim' always advertise in the Landrover magazines. Perhaps they could give you a good quote. Back in the game!
