repair/reinforce and fit heater pads to S2000 seats

As promised in another thread - have a look at the wiki for details of fitting heaters and repairing the foam bolsters on the S2000 seats. :D

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Grand work there Dave, very useful write up which makes it now possible to buy S2K seats needing a refurb for much cheapness and fix them up. For the cheapskates of the board obviously :D .
Whilst on the subject of seats for those interested, I have been looking at the ones in the RX8 which are becoming readily available, there is a red and black option which looks pretty good, whether they are durable and well made I don't know, anyone got an RX8?.

I don't have an RX8 but a mate does, feedback below

Driver's seat is comfy, it has electrical lumber and movement. Passenger seat is manual, with no lumber. No complaints from those who have sat in it.

Hope it helps, I personally have Porsche 911 seats fitted in mine, went for the cloth option as hot leather in the summer and cold leather in the winter don't exactly thrill me, the Porsche seats in my opinion give great lumber support and are very comfy indeed, just in case you were looking for any other options
