I got full 8 way movement and only possible with new switch pack and wire loom, but mines 2010 and came from a Left hand drive car therefore requiring extra work. One of the best mods I did , so persist with the mod Dave should greatly enhance driving experience :thumbright: and takes some pics of the seats fitted

Callum, I did this a few years ago, I stripped out the old wiring and put in my own. Where are you based?

I thought you were still thinking about doing it! Just like Bodsy and his dented door.

Ok, too far for me to pop over! Its easy. Can you PM me an email address? Not exactly a "how to" that I will send you, more like a few ideas culminating in pics of my working seat.
