Thread: Seats in my 93 LSE

Hi Lockee

Understand your pain.

Ive a 92 SE Yogue and besides the switches missing I need to look at the box under drivers seat which also operate the electric mirrors which of course don't work either.

From some of the posts re electric seats it depends on the condition of your circuit board but seat switches are expensive (if you can find them) though someone said they are the same as used on some Volvo models

Prone to crap falling into switches due to the stupid position of them.
I don't like all the electrics but. LSE like yours are becoming rare nd possibly worth trying to repair them.

I saw a pair of learner seats off a 89 Rangie (same style) but manual .... unfortunately didn't have the $$$ to buy them before they were sold ....... bugger

I'm keeping my eyes open for any as I'd like to keep interior original ...

Keep us posted on what you decide and post photos if you fit Recaro seats

Cheers

i brought some beautiful Mercedes seats on fleabay. Far cheaper than Recaro's. Full electrics which I got local sparky to convert to manual switches. There are heaps of great seats out there now.

Same switches as in some Mercedes cars...where they're mounted - where they should be- on the top/front of the door cards.... where 'stuff' cannot fall into them, the sun can't reach them nor can be sat upon by grossly obese RR owners.

or their Rubenesque spouses.

The design of the switches, - the leverage aspect - is not as well thought out as their Designers would like to think... Basically, they depend on 'everything else' working perfectly.

I had a Renault 16 seat in my old '74 Passat (Audi Fox 80) for 5 years. Worth its weight in Unobtanium on long drives.

- Stored for a while, then migrated into my first Brand - New car, a Holden HX/Z V8.

You'll struggle to find a Renault 16 seat these days. My family used to put them into kombi vans too (along with Scorpion engines in there tails and radiators up front on the bullbar).
