linky? Are you bolting your boot down or was this for another one of your schemesI have but not in the UK, awaiting my delivery from the good old US of A
Terribly expensive for the amount I need but needs must and all that.

It will never work as a seat.... will it take your weight?You may hate this but I’m pretty happy with it! Wipe clean
I have a smart little catch on its way and a khaki molle panel that will get screwed to it on the rhs.

Haha. It’s for setting up my fishing rods and putting my brew on whilst I scratch my head over the that state of the front wings

is that a "wtf have yu done now" look?
Well, I was just sorting out some parts, turned around and he’d lifted the thing off!
I’m not going near that chassis until I have compressor. I’m not ever wire wheeling one again lol. There’s a bit of welding already visible. The cross member with the cradle bracket on is dead. Oh, I’ve got deja vu.

For the boot floor but I have other plans for them too so might need to order some more

Gotta love a bit of deja vu lol
Ok gents. I definitely need your help with this next mini phase if you’d be so kind! It involves relays, switches and continuity
I have my new seats. They will be ideal. Centre console may need a tweak but they look at home in the d1
I can get the subframes onto the manual sliders without issue. This looses the electric slide but it’s a right mare to fit that to the d1 rails anyway. The issue I have, is tilt, recline and heat if your feeling that clever. Pictures to follow.
A little 12v Bosch motor controls the tilt via a clever gear system. This means I need a little system that reverses polarity I believe and thus changing direction of motor? Is it as simple as having a switch in off, a switch in idle and a switch in reverse?
The next is the recline which I’m guessing is built into what id call the seat spindle. More than two wires here which I think are for the heat.

Tight git could have left you a bit more wire to play with!
One of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/US-Pro-6...419362&hash=item3d32a8ad1b:g:TogAAOSwLfRbSHT8 would make light work of deciphering the wiring, apart from the heated seats. A DMM would be best for that as i guess there would be more than one heat setting

Recline is super simple, use an old fashioned rocker on-off-on switch as found on your electric windows, I have one I use for my in-cab winch controls
Heating will be more involved, what model and year were they from?

Not fussed about heating if effort. 2004ish v50 I think. Any chance you could do me a shopping list kind of thing please? Really am no good with it and am trying to read up but I found fluid mechanics easier lol
Thanks Kev I need one of those and Lots of learning lol

Have to establish which ones of those many wires in the back are recline. My theory is there’s another motor in that spindle and those wires include a power and earth

Should be an electric lumbar support too.
Depends as I think that they are simply straight polarity motors and directional in operation, 2004 is early enough to be pre ECU controlled glove box but with Volvo you never know.
Lumbar is controlled by a winder mate
I hope they are, the Bosch one on the seat is a standard polarity one I think. Everything plugged into jct boxes and all sorts of ****e but I’m hoping that was just to accommodate the in cab controls and being able to do things at the same time
