Bit of a problem today, drivers seat has stopped working and is now stuck in a very reclined position (no its not what you think!!). The fuse has blown, tried another fuse, there was an instant flash when I plugged it in as it blew again. Bit annoying as you can imagine!! managed to drive the 10 miles back home, but wont be repeating the exercise as its bloody dangerous!!

The car is a 55 plate TD6 with 6 months Landrover approved used warranty left on it. Am I asking too much to try and get a call out to look at the problem?? In a bit of a sticky situation as I desperately need the car tomorrow, and cant drive any car because I am paraplegic and have to use a hand throttle/brake to drive.

any advice gladly taken guys.

If there was a flash when you put the new fuse in, theres a short somewhere. I would call them out 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded

Ive just been under the seat checking the wiring, no obvious cause, all wiring intact, no chaffing, no foreign objects causing problems. I have a feeling even If I called them out they would'ny find a abvious driveway cure unfortunately. Shame, first little problem I have had with the car. Now turning my attnetion to my old rover mini, see If I can get her sparked into life instead !!! A lot of fun, but not quite the same is it!!!

There's a fairly typical failure on the wiring harness under the seat. It's a seat out job to fix I think. Id ring LR and get them out. Counts as a breakdown as it's undriveable.

Cheers guys, have given them a ring, will be here in 40 mins. I shouldnt tempt fate by typing this really but my experiences with LR assistance in the past have been all good. A dam site better than BMW or Mitsubishi, so fingers crossed

AA man was out within half an hour (bearing in mind I live miles from anywhere out in deepest rural Herefordshire!!) and reset seat module, checked all through and seat now working fine. Really nice guy, Landrover assist impecable record remains intact!

removed blown fuse, left fuse space empty, undid yellow connection block underneath front of seat, refitted a new fuse, then reconnected connection block. He has seen this before, sometimes its not a short, but motor overloads, causes fuses to keep blowing untill module is disconnected (which effectively resets it).

He could have been talking but it worked!!

Actually dont try it yet, airbag warning lights are now on after the 'reset'. In to the dealers this week!!!
