I have a 2002 rapier estate and quite fancy a set of leather seats,i have seen quite a few for sale but the front seats always seem electric adjustment,how hard are they to wire up seeing as my seats are manual adjustment.

Without memory it seems like it's fairly straight forward, all you've got to do is provide the power. Memory seats are a different matter, you'll need the ecu and some wires and... I'll let you know in the spring...

Just get an ecu tray whilst at it, to protect the ecu - I paid £10 posted for mine off ADE1122 on the coupe forum

does the heated seats work when doing this ,

i wouldnt mind a set of leathers in mine but was always put off with the electric side of things, when you say memory seats, does that mean the seat resets to a certain position everytime you put power to them ? or will they stay were they are put ....

might sound stupid that question but never delt with electric seats before

its not very big just about the size of a computer keyboard with a big wire going into it.
