I was just wondering if anyone has had to replace an element in the drivers seat??

i have bought a new heat pad so im going to give it a go, but if anyone has done it and would like to give me some pointers that would be good.

And also if anyone is interested i will do a step by step guide of how mine went!

According to Microcat the heated seat is serviced by complete replacement of seat cover.

Ahh nice one cheers. I looked at that kinky before I posted, but must have read the wrong bit as I didn't see that bit lol

I paid £40 for a new heat pad so will see how I get on, better than a new seat!

I'd be interested in how you get on with changing it.

I need to do mine sooner or later.

Just trying to decide between that or the sagging roof headlining....

As I said, iv bought a complete pad, so hopefully peel back the trim, unplug the old pad, plug the new in.

But I know it won't be that simple lol

You wouldn't be laughing in the face of Microcat IF it was a L332 as in the OPs question. That which tho point out is for a P38. Which has a somewhat different set up.

Do many L332s have a sagging roof liner yet?

I bet you it is. Hopefully there won't be any sewing involved.

If it's like a P38 seat, and most car seats are made the same way, then can I suggest that you replace the metal hog rings with cable ties. When you come to pull it all together again you can fit the ties loosely until you've got them all in, then tighten them. Saved me time, temper and blood once I started doing it that way. As for the looks, you can't see the hog rings so you won't see the cable ties.

Unless you have climatic seats then they are a whole lot different
