Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've currently got a pair of comfort seats with ruffled leather that are past their best and not very comfortable. They are fully electric with memory. For aesthetic and support reasons i've picked up a pair of sport seats from an 986 on ebay. I'm hoping to fit them this weekend, after a lot of reading of various threads last night i still don't have a complete answer to a few questions 1) Is there a way to transplant the electrics from my fully electric seats to the sports seats so i have electric height adjustment. Is this something you'd recommend? i'm no spanners, i don't mind having a go and can generally figure stuff out but will be 10 times longer than an experienced mechanic. 2) even if i don't wire up the full electrics will memory work with just the electric back? any other advice? other than disconnect battery, pint sized brew, patience? Rich

POST 2Original post

Hi Nduli You definitely can do this, but the only thing might be an issue is your seat base. I am not that handy with the spanner's either, but I basically split my comfort seats, retaining the base and electrics from them, and added the top half of the sports seats. The only issue I see for you is the ruffled leather seat base maybe.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

yep and thats the bit thats past its best. the sports also have bigger seat base bolsters which is what i also want. I think i'll stay with the manual base, save the weight, add 20hp split the old seats and retain the electrics etc in case i ever want to tackle the opportunity in future.
