What about fitting a non electrical seat from a Land Rover? Are the fixings the same?

Hi - like so many, my ECU has given up - I've sent it around to various specialists and it's not repareable. Instead of paying £1000's on a replacement, I'm considering swapping it out for a manually adjustable seat. These are hard to find for RRC's - do you know if a seat from a Discovery...

I have a '92 soft dash RRC - radio doesn't work anymore - any suggestions for an easy replacement? Ideally with a CD and USB or Bluetooth. Thx!

Yes

Correct, the battery is 3.6v but the power supply to the ECU is 12v

I ordered the battery from the ECU specialist on eBay - but didn't check it. Today I checked the correct 12V connection to the ECU - so it's not a lack of power supply either...

I had a computer technician replace aa ne battery properly...and the seat still doesn't peep. Fuses are ok - could it be power supply ? Is it the same power supply for the mirrors and the seat? It's getting difficult.

I ordered a new battery and had a computer technician replace it properly...and the seat still doesn't peep. Fuses are ok - could it be power supply or the motor itself? It's getting difficult.

Thanks so much for all your advice! I just bought a new battery (on eBay)

Hello, so my existing battery shows 0.5V when unplugged...could that be the cause? I had to break the seal of the case to open it - suggesting that it's the original battery. Its true that my RRC is in fantastic condition overall - extremely well maintained throughout the years.

So I opened the ECU and there are no battery leaks.. could it be a fuse ? They all look good (the ones located at the front under the driver's seat - unless you know which one in particular to doulbe check?) Thx!

(yes, my mirrors don't adjust anymore either...so it is definitely the ECU that has failed)

Does anyone know if you can fit a manual seat on the same rails? I don't need electric controls - might as well swap them out instead of starting to solder diodes etc...

Many thx - I think the ECU you're referring to is not the one for the classic model - see the box on https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID009405 There's also this solution on eBay...

A few minutes ago a swapped the working ECU of the passenger seat with the one of the driver seat. They're different because the memory function isn't there for the passenger - anyway, the seat didn't move with the working ECU either (I was hoping it to work with the memory jack plugged in). So...

(I found the ECU on Rimmer Bros for £1121.66 - a bargain!)

Many thx for your swift reply - were you able to do this without taking the whole seat & rails out? It's really hard to reach... or is it easier to replace the ECU (if I can find it somewhere)?

Hi - my seat controller doesn't work anymore whilst my driver seat is blocked in an uncomfortable position. The wiring is complex and requires a PHD in electronics - 2 garages haven't been able to find the fault so far. Is there a way to mechanically adjust the seat using a tool - to put it back...
