Arnage R Seat too high

[anonymous-user]

My father in law has recently bought himself a 2003 Arnage R, but is finding getting in and out a bit of a struggle. He’s 80 and has slightly restricted mobility due to a combination of age related stiffness and a back injury.

Even on the lowest setting the seats seem quite high. I’ve tried it myself and to get past the steering wheel (which is in the correct fully raised/retracted position) you have to get your bum on the seat and then swivel round to get your legs under the steering wheel. No real problem for me, but for the FIL it’s far from ideal.

He previously had a Turbo R and didn’t have any issues with that at all. Yes, he should have thoroughly tested the Arnage before buying it, no he didn’t, water under the bridge now, etc.....

The supplying dealer (a Bentley/RR specialist) has suggested there is a seat modification that can be done to lower the seating position. Unfortunately FIL is very hazy on the details and I can’t find anything on google, so thought I’d ask the PH hive mind

TL;DR - Anyone know of any fixes/changes to lower the seating position on the Arnage?

Thanks for the feedback, the seat is definitely as low as it will go, the adjusters all work and it’s not returning to a previously set position.

Legroom isn’t an issue, the seat is properly set for that.

Sorry it took me a while to update on this.

A member from here sent me a PM with instructions on how to reset the seat ECU, unfortunately I've lost the email but it did the trick, all is well

Thanks for all the feedback.
