nice one... i'll be giving this a go at some point!!

Begs the question, would it be possible to add extra foam to the side bolster part, maybe slice a piece of off the old foam? In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

does any one know if you can buy a replacement leather base cover? mine has 2 cracks/slits in the side wall and its really annoying me.

Have a look in ebay, there are a few on there

really? I've been searching and cave come up with nothing... I've ordered the new foam, just really annoyed what the slits in the base

Ah, just realised most of them are for rear seats. There is one front but its tan and £199. Depending on position and size of tear, is it worth trying a diy repair kit?

I'm going to give it a go my self, all else fails ill have to take it apart again and send it in somewhere

Thank you for your time writing this thread, its really helpful!

I decided to replace my foam but had a problem. All the venders check my VIN and tell me that the foam is the same for the 05 to 13 MY. I bought pt no.HGB500050 Which appears to be the 05 to 09 as it’s different to my 12MY. The 2 wires that run across the base are about 2 inches closer together. Can anyone give me a price no. For the face lift seat foam so I can pass it on to a vendor to source. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

I replaced mine on a MY13 A/B and it was Part No. LR021399 for Vin. AA224294 on and it fitted perfectly.

Thanks Col, used your pt number and did search, that’s the correct one and got one on order. My VIN is
SALLSAAE3CA719773 which is similar format to yours but as mine is a 12MY you’d expect them to be close.

Edit: Just used a VIN decoder to see that my car is serial 19773 and yours is actually close at 24294. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Hi,

That's not my Vin, that's the Vin number that the part number begins from, mine actually starts DA.

Cheers

I see, so it looks like there may be some mistakes with the pt number ranges. My foam matches perfectly the type you listed but is 4000 vehicles before that. No wonder all the suppliers keep quoting the wrong number. Mine are original too being marked as Aug 11 and my car was built in Sept 11.

On a bit of a tangent, when I removed the seat base I found Ford parts (FoMoCo), Volvo parts and Jaguar parts. I’m amazed at how many other brand names are on this thing! 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Pre Facelift cars 05/09 use HGB500050, Facelift variant 10/13 use LR021399 there was another one LR016234 but that has been superseded to 021399 that is it, there are now only the two, one for pre-facelift and one for facelift models.
