2009 Driver's Seat Comfort

Hi all,

I've had my L322 for about six weeks now, and it's rather comfortable but for one thing: the left hand side of the driver's seat base seems to be sitting lower, which is causing my back to give me a lot of gyp!

Is this a common issue, and does it sound like I should look at replacing the foam base of the seat? It's a 2009 Vogue SE with heated/cooled seats, having covered around 134,000 miles if any of that is pertinent.

Many thanks

Mine's sagged slightly on the right side, 130,000 miles. There's a thread somewhere detailing how to replace the base foam, seems to be quite an involved process! 2011MY 4.4TDV8 Autobiography Baltic Blue

Thanks, it looks like a bit of a game, but my back will thank me later, I'm sure!

I'm sure you can simply swop the passenger seat base with the drivers one. It's likely to have had less wear.

After about four hours of swearing and skinning knuckles, I can confirm that the driver and passenger seat bases aren't interchangeable! Not sure if it's different on other seats, but the heated/cooled ones have the motors and suchlike in mirrored positions, so the connectors on the runners don't reach.

Worth a go nonetheless!

Opps. Sorry. They certainly where on my 2004 model but like you say, no fans , just heated.

Haha, not to worry - every day's a school day!
