Sorry I cannot help with the connectors problem but concur with your comments about the improvement of the leather over the cloth - my sister bought a used RRS S (same as yours) and the seller offered her the cloth seats that he had removed and replaced with leather. Depending on the version of the donor car only the seat fronts will be leather if the car was an SE, the rest is extremely leather like plastic leather (ie on the seat backs and bases , if the donor car was an HSE then the seat backs will also be leather. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Damn.....thinks it's back to drawing board....I will probably strip out bottom connections and rewire it.The seats I got where out of a supercharged rrs....I got door cards and centre fridge too though might not fit fridge

Then you have the most puckah Perforated Leather "Sports" seats that were on the S/C. You would also have to replace the door card as there is an additional memory panel on cars with electric seats that your S wouldn't have, it is also connected to the electrically controlled wing mirrors which I think the S didn't have. I have all the brochures up to present so if you want any interior photos I may be able to scan them and email them to let you see what the different trims and specs were. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Thanks Tim....I also got door cards here,so going on what you said I will replace these,but not too worried memory or heated seats option.....just want seat to move....Also my rrs has electric mirrors fitted.

Job complete....stripped out wiring from new leather seat including module and then dismantled my cloth seat wiring loom and transfered side switches and loom to leather seat....Only one problem pink and brown wires had to be cut to enable plug from Upper motor to be changed.Difficult job

How easy was it to remove the door cards?

Interesting thread, I had no idea you could buy a sport with cloth.

Yes but many buyers of the S model paid for the optional leather, unfortunately they often didn't also spec the seat heaters that were also optional or the electrically operate wing mirrors. They were not in production for very long and there was a special edition (I think the only factory special edition for RRS) called the Stormer that was based on the S - it was an HST body kitted S basically. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

They did RRS without electrically operate wing mirrors ?


I'm sure even the Ford GL's of the 1990 had electric mirrors.

Door cards are really easy ,a few hidden screws to come out 1st then a good pull on frame surround d-9
Just make sure you note where wires go and sizes of screws also when fitting again make sure door surround inner 'push lugs'are in good order
