Hi,
The wiring for the the passenger seat movement control is only an adapter which is plugged in under the passenger seat between the engine for the seat adjustment and the switch of the passenger-seat. Remove it and use it for your "new" passenger-seat. If you dont remove the Adapter, the "old" passenger-seat will not work, if you connect it to a car wirhout the switch at the rear-seats. Regards Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for this I had come to the same conclusion by looking at the wiring diagrams, however the original seats with the adapter are long gone. I have effectively made a new adapter cable to do the same job |

Original seats are now with ainarssems and I think they were possibly going to be made into gaming chairs/seats if I remember correctly.

The ecu is dead
Found some corrosion in the ecu connectors and hoped it was this, but no Opened the ecu to find water damage: Not much better after cleaning. These still work, so probably aren't the root cause Corrosion on the connector Even after cleaning with IPA it is still completely dead. The LWB has a unique ecu and there are none for sale anywhere, nor are there any standard FL1 4.2 A8 ecus available in the UK, although there are some for unpleasant prices in Europe. Luckily Marcel managed to find an FL1 A8 ecu in Poland so we're working on acquiring that. The next struggle of course will be working out how to code the immobiliser, which apparently needs the pin code from the old one |

That sounds like a real bummer - but I love your 'never say die" attitude to any '8 problems.

I miss seeing this about. I still look out for it when I’m dropping the kids to school out of habit.
Hopefully MJ will get “LFO” back up and running in the not too distant future. I really miss the WITW threads but health comes first.
