75 Connoisseur Passenger Seat

rovermech · 12th September 2007, 15:52

Can anyone tell me if any of our cars was made with a front passenger seat that pumps up like the driver's seat, my wife struggles to get in and out of the 75. We have just changed our Astra for a Meriva for the same reason and I must say the Meriva is so easy to get in and out, and a very good drive.
Before I start thinking of lifting the seat, I would like to know if any model was made with this extra.

Thanks for any information.

Someone will be along with a definitive answer, but I would think so as LHD cars will have this facility for the drivers chair so may well have been an option on RHD passenger chairs.

The manual seat height adjustment if fitted to the driver's seat only.

As above what you need is a drivers seat from a lhd car - it will fit and give you just what you need. Worth looking on ebay, particularly in Germany. Or ask Juergen or Gert (both members on here) if they might keep an eye out for you.
In addition it may be worth a post on www.r75.info

Hmm

Would you also then have the memory facility as well?

That'd be very useful

I'm afraid you can only get the Memory function on one Seat Paul.
Would be nice though having 2 completely functioning Electric Seats with all the "drivers" facilities.

So presumably, the memory function has nothing to do with the seat itself?

Oh well - nice thought while it lasted

I will look into that,
There must be a way I would have thought,
thats one of the few problems when you have everything controlled electronically by ECU's and assorted "boxes".
