I have a 1994 RR classic soft dash
As with all of these there are seat issues - I have had the circuit board under the seat reconditioned twice when it cost £2-300 to do, it now seems to be £750+

The switch and memory buttons no longer seem to work and a new switch seems to be £150-£200

Quite honestly prices are getting stupid.

The car has failed its MOT only on the seat not adjusting - it is in otherwise quite good condition, what can Indo at a reasonable price to sort this out?

I have no need for memory I am pretty much the only driver of the car

I am happy with manual seats but I assume that the link into mirrors etc makes that difficult?

Prices for soft dash seats are silly prices - on eBay a set of seats might be £1500 with no guarantee that it works v. An L322 set at under £500!

Can I swap in an earlier seat or one from a discovery or P38a or something? Or is there an easy way to keep the motors but perhaps bypass the circuit board (research suggests that there might be a voltage issue)

The recent 20:10 engineering example has reccaro seats so presumably something is possible?

Over to the PH hive mind for creative ideas…
