182 Leather / Alcantra front seats (Prices)!

[Wirral 182]

Just out of interest, how much does a mint condition 2nd hand set of front leather / Alcantra seats from a 182 currently sell for?
Seeing as I did not have much interest in the buckets, I think I am just going to fit them and get rid of the FF seats. But I would like to know a realistic “fair” asking price before I post a for sale thread.
Thanks

I might be interested. Whats the condition and price?

 

[Peperami]

£250 for just the fronts, £400 for the lot. Or thereabouts.

 

[Dave H]

Will these go straight into a 182 Cup?

 

[Peperami]

Yes, straight swap.

Side airbags don't come into play?

What do people think of the 182 FF seats?

Just picked these seats up from Kevin tonight....absolutely mint

They are like new ... cheers Kevin


They both have airbags so can these be plugged into the 182 Cup anywhere so that they work? If not are there any issues with them not being plugged in?

Cheers

When you take your seats out, you'll have to unplug them, as the connections are there, but the seats wire leads to a resistor inside the seat on yours, rather than an airbag. Plug the new ones back into these plugs... careful not to break any wires if you can!

 

[Dave H]

Theres no risk of them 'going off'? That would make the neighbours laugh!

So in effect this will make the airbags works as designed if l have an off?

 

[Peperami]

Should do.

Good point, disconnect battery and leave for 30 mins before you do it.

Please double check the FF seats' wiring before you re-connect your battery, remember, I took the seats out, and the seatbelt thingys off in a rush. Don't want to see your next thread saying "airbags deployed on new seats when fitting".
Alternatively, you should not have any problems if you do not plug them in, provided that you use the looms from your cup seats which are already equipped with the necessary resistors which bypass the airbags.

Thanks again for an unexpected, but quick, smooth deal. Now to get the buckets in lol. .
