Passenger Seat Height Missing. Advice Required Urgently.

[Restyle]

I have a UK spec Cooper with Pepper Pack I bought direct from Dealers in September 2001 .
I am picking up an "S" in 2 weeks, and as i didnt like the Dealers P/X I have advertised it privatley, both here & in Local mag`.
Just had someone come to view it who mentioned he liked the idea of the passenger seat height adjustment (amongst the many other nice things).
After he left (he will get back to me shortly), I was looking over the car & couldnt seem to find any passenger adjustment lever ! - although it clearly says in the brochure that it should have one.
Well I Dont sit in that Seat, How am I supposed to notice its missing!!
Rang the dealers, but they`re shut now till monday, So did a search on this sites COOPER forum & found a thread from last October which said that dealers were offering a £50 refund to owners of pre-September 2001 Built cars that might have this problem, although some were being told that a KIT may become available in the future so that dealers could update the mechanism.
Does anyone know what the situation currently is with regards to this.??
If I was to sell the car privately next week, would the new owner be able to get a new passenger seat with height adjustment as part of the warrenty agreement.
Im sure I wasnt told about this when I picked the car up, and certainly wasnt offered any refund.
Help Please, I need to tell the prospective new owner what to do if he decides to buy it.
Thanks in advance.

i think your best bet is to ask the dealer to order a seat with hight adjust and get it fitted FOC, after all it is their mistake, not yours.

if they dont go for that you may get £50 back, but its not much compensation for the new buyer.

I don't think anyone got a new seat out of it last year, I remember the £50 thing but I doubt that you will get that back now.

Worth a try though. If it makes you feel any better, I don't have the passenger height adjuster either, who cares about them anyway, the driver is the important one

The height adjustment on the passenger seat on my car was fitted after I got the car, but it isn't a proper fit - the seat, in the lower position, is still higher than the driver's... as you said - I don't sit there

Ask the dealer to order the components one and retro-fit it - at least you could claim you have it now.
