The time consuming bit is removing the hog rings that hold the cover to the foam, and then replacing them. The later ones with the soft back have there own issues getting the top cover off as they are held in place with strings.

Just the drivers seat, and swapping out the three motors and wiring shouldn't be more than a couple of hours in my estimate. No need to swap the covers, just temporarily remove them along with the foams. It's taking the covers off the foams and putting them back on that's time consuming.
Especially on earlier cars (ones with plastic panels on the back).

Gill is about 5" shorter than me, and when she's borrowed the car, it takes an age to get everything back to where I'm used to it. Plus she has the seat so far forward that it's physically difficult to get in!

Crikey! A day?! Maybe best if I do try to find a memory seat and just do a swap!

I guess the idea is you should only have to use it once.....
I have had memory on 2 of the 3 I've had, can't say I really miss it, but then I've not had anyone do any work on it yet. I'm 5'6" so the car rarely comes back with the seat anywhere near where I have it, so the memory was always handy. Jump in, press 1 and hey presto, where I always liked it

Duncan is the source of knowledge on these as far as I am concerned, but happy to have a go for either of you when I am next back in the UK.
Have to say though, both of ours have memory on and we've never used it!
