Which switch-pack is correct for a LHD vehicle?
Dear forum members,
I hope you can help me with my problem. Unfortunately the lumbar support can no longer be adjusted on the driver's side electric seat. I have taken the facade off of the side of the seat and can see that it is the plastic peg on the switch pack, which has snapped at its base. I have tried sticking it back in place with some strong adhesive, however this did not work. I am now trying to buy a new switch pack, but I am not sure whether I can just purchase one from Rimmer Brothers and fit it. According to their website, part number: YUB100940PUY is for RHD vehicles. If this part is used on both sides, however, then technically I should also be able to use it for my vehicle. I would greatly appreciate any help or insight on this matter, so that I can resume enjoying this excellent machine! At the moment its like I'm driving in a half-eclined dentist's chair! Regards, Dan |

Hello Dan,
Some websites you may search into Allbrit (Germany) Damen & Kroes (Holland) Oliveira & Valentim (Portugal) I tried for you but to no avail for that piece: Switch pack-seat adjust driver. Another solution would be going at a scrapper's but little chance you can find many in Switzerland (like me in France!). I hope that in this club full of knowledge somebody may give you a solution. I can't ascertain you that a RHD mechanism could be fitted in a LHD car. Good luck. Arnaud

I had a similar issue with that peg but on the passenger's side. I drilled a small hole in the peg and base, heated a stiff piece of wire (TIG welding wire) into the hole and the functionality was restored. I might also have added a drop of Gorilla Glue but as it was some years ago I can't really remember.
Good luck |

Speaking for the 8 way driver switch they are different (see picture attached).
I have two LHD vehicles and a RHD one for spares and they are different. Will have a look for You if someone is selling the LHD one, new or used, otherwise the scrapyard option but I doubt will sell the switch only.. let me see...

Wow, thanks for all of your help!
@vilas66 Thanks for finding me the part. I don't have seat memory on my car at the moment, but if I were to just fit this switch pack, would it then work? Would I be able to save my seating positions? @vitesse Thank you for your reply. If I can't get a replacement switch pack, then I will use your method and just fix it like you said. I remember fixing the fan switch on my 416 si auto, which was just three wires of varying diameter, and I was able to just solder a new bit of wire on! I like these simple fixes, so I will keep hold of it. @Dorchester2 Thank you as well. I will contact Allbrit and ask them if the parts can be interchanged. I just wanted to know whether there are two types of switch pack, but sending them an email is no problem. I will let you all know about any further developements. Regards, Dan |
