i have bought heat leather (heat) seats in second hand for my cooper , they belonged to a S...the problem is that when i accelerate and brake in the interior of the driving seat there is a horrible sound like an old seat. Do you know what can i do to repair it and dont hear that sound?...thank you.

The typical MINI seat after 35,000km sounds like this..........

I am unsure what you are talking about from your description, however, In the passenger side front seat of my car there was a knocking sound upon breaking. It turned out to be something loose inside the seat and was fixed by the back being removed and the loose piece being reattached.

Sounds like the best way to repair it would be to bring it to a dealer, have them warranty it. I can't imagine a seat being considered a "wear and tear" item..........

You are under warranty still, right?
