Kes86 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 The rubber and canvas base seat support that spring loads the drivers seat in my 300tdi split suddenly yesterday. I have tried to repair it with EVO Stick and a sheet of thick rubber but it has failed again. Any idea who would supply a new one or is it a dealer part. I have tried all the obvious suspects websites but to no avail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Exmoor Trim would be a good place to start, if anybody has it they probably will - though I am not exactly sure which bit you mean. It may also be a dealer part but aftermarket is likely to be cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes86 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 I was struggling to describe it. I mean the canvas square that clips with metal hooks into the seat frame and holds the foam seat base cushion up off the floor. I will ring exmoor tommorrow i have the chance of a 200tdi seat, if the pad is the same I can swap them over. if not i will have to try the dealer.

Kes86 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Update. I went to the local LR dealer. They sell the seat base for a 300Tdi as a whole unit for £250.00 but they do sell the diaphragm ( think thats what it is called) for the electric seats for £17.00 so hopefully it will fit, if not I will make it fit.

keithjh Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hi, I have 2 leather seats that i have removed from a disco, if any of the parts are any good to anyone they are free to a good home Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes86 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Sorry it has been a while No it did not fit. So I used tie wraps. 2 on each hook and tied to the seat frame. this has worked fine. my mate with a simmilar car had the same trouble a month later, he used metal hooks and lengthened the rods. Both are working fine, and both are mutch comfier than the original. I am changing to a TD5 in the near future, but my dad is having the car off me, hopefully will last a while.
