OK, we're there ... well nearly ...

Firstly I managed to get to correct tool from Halfords this morning, a T40 star drive key, as you will see from the first picture there simply isn't enough space to get a socket drive in.

It quiet a fiddly process of fitting the seats, first one took me approx 2 1/2 hours, second one took about an hour, as I had figured out how to get the seat belt wiring out and the recoil assembly disconnected from the standard rails.

Unfortuneatly I have received two right hand seat belt attachment brackets, which means until its exchanged I can't take passengers in the front as there is no seat belt. Stephen at Coolnew is onto this one with BMW.

As for the airbag light ... well that has to be done by a dealer and re-prog the computer not to look for airbags in the seat. This was confirmed by Stephen at CoolNew today and this is what they had to do.

Anyway seats are in OK, as pictures show and feel excellant although I haven't taken the car for a drive yet.

Sorry for the poor quality pictures they're mobile ones as the wifes gone out with the digital
