The cloth seats are manual and the leather seats are power/heated-anyway I can get this option to work?   Chris Marcel (Gumarcel) Senior Member Username: Gumarcel Post Number: 409 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 09:06 pm:    Logically i would assume that you could use the leather seats from a 94 or 95 discovery, since they were manual seats. I would think that, but its a rover so you never can assume anything. But you might want t look into it.   Federico (Fede) New Member Username: Fede Post Number: 3 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 09:20 pm:    Thanks for the advice-the seats are actually from a 97 discovery but was told they would fit the 96 as well. Would I be able to use the power seats if mine were manual? doesn't seem possible now that I think about it.   Chris Marcel (Gumarcel) Senior Member Username: Gumarcel Post Number: 411 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 09:27 pm:    well i know on mine, 95, the bracket the seat rail is on is different then the auto seats. That seems confusing, so i hope you don't get confused.   Federico (Fede) New Member Username: Fede Post Number: 4 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 10:23 pm:    Thanks again for your help-I'm definately going to have to look into that one a bit more. I'm not that familiar with the seat brackets in the discovery.   Todd Rooker (Tryrook) Member Username: Tryrook Post Number: 56 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 10:50 pm:    I'll let you know what trials and tribulations I have to go through...its not quite analagous, but I just bought some 96 power seats to put into my 95 and they should be here any day.   Federico (Fede) New Member Username: Fede Post Number: 5 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 11:01 pm:    Thank you-I look forward to hearing about it. Are the seats in the 95 currently manual? Good luck and let me know how it turns out . . hopefully with pictures.   Chris Marcel (Gumarcel) Senior Member Username: Gumarcel Post Number: 420 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 11:04 pm:    all 94 and 95 are manual seats
