just got hold of a new interior but its manual seats and I've got the electric memory type, it possible to still swap them over?

I can't see why not, unless your's have airbags, then your airbag system would be disabled. It would be possible to recover your electric ones with the new ones, but it's difficult to do neatly

ive picked them up and there there not totally manual  there's a motor and one adjuster on the side(looks like up/down) and air bags, supposed to have come from a 51 plate cd! one of the tracks is slightly bent at the end but should be ok!

Why would you want to down grade the spec of your seats? :-? Having had Elite mormory seats I'd not want to go backwards.  ;)
If it's for the leather, I'd be tempted to remove the covers & refit them to the all electric memory seats ..... depends on your spannering skills I suppose.

they were only £40 in the end and its to cheap to pass! thought i might be able to just swap the bases so i only loose the tilt adjustment!? but i don't mind loosing the extra electrics and swapping them though if the wiring's not to complicated? cos its only me driving the car so it's very rarely adjusted

It's up to you, it's your car.  ;)

i would give it a go but it sounds like a big job! there's got to be stitching as well as spannering?

I've only removed enough of the base cover to get access to the heater element. No sewing/stitching was involved! Honest!  ;D  ;D  ;D

just had a search http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1192830810
i dont like the sound of "22 wire rings" and "On a 1 - 10 scale of easy to infuriating, this is a 7 (putting them back on will be 11 :'("  :o :o :o :o :o

Whats wrong with cloth? Leather is nothing but a PITA (literally).  I'll never understand it.
