Where will I find a replacement drivers seat?

[Chris_w666]

My drivers seat seems to have partially collapsed and I haven't a clue if it is repairable or not, have phoned a couple of local breakers and they want to sell me a complete interior or very poor quality seats for stupid prices. My interior is full leather so ideally I would like to just find a black leather MK6 fiesta sports seat, failing that a decent Zetec S set of seats would do (providing it isn't blue) just to keep the full interior matching, I don't want to go down the fitting ST seats route as when I come to sell that will make it obvious I have been chaging things around (Oh and the ZS ones are identical apart from the badges on the backs).

Any suggestions would be helpful cheers.

any vehicle trimmers worth their salt should be able to repair your seat at a reasonable cost.

where are you based?

You are not alone with this problem, it sounds similar to what happened to me with my previous car. The Focus ST owners club forums has a massive thread dedicated to this problem. It is repairable, one of the seat cross-members at rear will have come away/split. My STs seat collapsed (just one of a fair few problems I had with the ST) and it was fixed by Ford under warranty.

Though when I took it back in after it started squeaking again the manager of the service department at the dealer said that I was lucky as Ford had just re-classified the seat frame under the warranty as part of the trim/upholstery components, so after the first year it is then classed as wear and tear item and is not covered.
