Am I right in thinking heated leather seats was an optional extra. If it was is it possible to fit heaters and if it is what sort of job is it to fit them.

Also do they ever come up for sale.

They come up on here now and again, you need the centre console, switches, loom and heating elements which need to be inserted between the foam and the leather.

i had a set of perfect heated elements, was going to fit them until my sister decided they were rags, and threw them out only after she decided to rip the plugs off and save them for me! :x

A standard centre console has the outline for the switches waiting to be cut out.

Can anyone suggest how to test if the boot lights are staying on with the boot shut?
