Thread: Advice needed.....electric seat controls

do the manual seat base from a similar model fit the base of the vogue? and the leather seat fit the manual base?

.. I like your thinking....

IMHO, the fabric-covered Classic seat is better value and comfort throughout the year than the leather one.
If you wear shorts in summer...and park your leather seats in the sun.... you might agree.

Mine has rotten stitching on one squab, and the piping along the driver's side front AND rear seats, (where the sun comes in all day, with the PO) is wrinkled and distorted. The driver's seat is, in places, badly sun-damaged Fabric is not affected like this...

Bear in mind, that a century ago, leather was the cheap material.... in Luxury barges, the chauffeur sat on the durable leather, and M'Lord & Lady were graced with more comfortable fabric (wool usually) upholstery...

Vinyl as the cheapest material of all became popular for mass production, and for 'perceived' luxury, cloth inserts became the rage. This could be man-made, or wool/wool-blend.

The return to leather is a marketing ploy, something different or "new" , IMHO...

The Lady Sarah, 95 Vogue SE with working EAS, and leather seats. Don't mention the sun-roof..

i like the leather...eve when i am wearing shorts

i notice one of the local wreckers has a 1990 rrc with the manual adjusting basses so i thought i might get them for mine(91 se) as the circuit board looks to be a pain to fix

Yes... You live in the North Antarctic Island... where the sun rarely visits.... Try it over here and if you don't change your tune....the pitch certainly will...
- I like my leather in winter/spring/autumn... especially winter, as the leaking sun-roof doesn't leave watermarks as it would on fabric...

Can't see any reason why they would not fit. IMHO, manual adjusting seats are as good/better when the number and fussiness of the drivers is limited... - You may find some difficulties with the seat-back (rake) adjustment, but there is no reason why you could'nt rig up a manual switching thingie for that alone
Even when spotlessly cleaned/lubricated, the fore-aft travel 'roughness' on my side is not impressive... slow and jerky... Not a patch on the Wife's Magna (late model, brilliant seats) or the Father-In Law's Ssang-Yong MUSSO !
