2003 TD6, the drivers seat adjustment will allow you to move the whole seat forward, and tilt the seat back forward/more upright too, but when you try to move the seat back, or recline it at all, there’s nothing.

Any ideas please guys? Wouldn’t be an issue but mrsblonde used it last, and she’s nearly a ft shorter than me, and has considerably shorter arms too.

Also got a steering angle sensor to replace this week or next, and now I have zero room to lay in the footwell

Also, it may be unrelated (this is a RR after all)
I thought I’d try the seat memory buttons to see if any were programmed by someone with longer legs, just to get me out of trouble.
None of them moved the seat, but one button raised the steering column and another lowered it, on call. The longer I held 1 button in, it raised until I took my finger off.
The 2nd seat memory button lowered the steering column, until i took my finger off.

could be faulty switchgear or a plug undone under the seat... ... - .- -.

Try to connect the switch gear from the passenger seat. I did the same when my switch gear started erratic behaviour and I was able to move the seat perfectly. Only the steering wheel adjustment doesn't work with a passenger switch connected.

Mine was the seat switch gear. Range Rover 4.2 SC
2 Range Rover Classics - one from new but both rusty now.
Rover 3.5 Coupe had since new.
Subaru Legacy 3.0.
BMW K1200RS.

Thanks guys
Any videos or ‘how to’ guides on removing the switch gear? Read a few comments on it being a PITA and several clips being broken etc

Usually YouTube delivers but nothing on there that I could find

The car is off the road for the next few weeks so perfect time to do all the annoying niggly bits like steering angle sensor, rust treat the underside etc

Can anyone tell me the part number please for the driver side seat switch gear, 2003 TD6 vogue? Going to order one to fit

Haven’t removed the old one yet to get a number off

Is your car LHD or RHD?

Hi Grangerover, sorry I should of said it is uk RHD

I’ve got the part number I need now, it was a BMW part fitted.

Sadly now hunting for a cream plastic trim cover instead as it came off in my hand
