Hi All

Over the Christmas break I have had a little time to get digging into some of Lady Penelope's little irritations. One of them being that the electric seat memory doesn't work. All seat movements are fine though.

So far I've stripped the switch assembly down and given the micro-switches a good flushing with contact cleaner and also cleaned the plugs on the control module under the front seat. However there is no change in behaviour.

A bit of googling reveals that the X300 seems to have a similar problem related to the seat potentiometers, however I can't find any similar reported issues with the XJ40 seats.

I have been able to source a seat control module from a 1993 Sovereign wreck, however the part number DBC12047 does not exist on the Jaguar classic parts site. Interestingly the TRW model number and PCB numbers are the same as part LHB2165AA which is fitted to my car, but issue alphanumerics against these numbers are earlier, so I suspect it was superseded by the LHB part.

Next step is to swap the modules and see what happens but if any one can provide any other advice, tips, tricks or avenues of investigation it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Steve
