Thanks for the pointers James, I'll definitely check those bits out!

Good tip on the battery, I did inherit the workshop manual too but havent looked at it yet. Fortonately there's a battery isolator on it too so will flip that off now so I dont forget!

Maybe you could help my understanding on the heated seats - 've read the guide on here

But its unfrotuantely its missing the images as its so old now. I cant work out how I'm supposed to get the rings/cable ties through the heater pad. I assume these things are OK to trim length wise so for the back I can trim it down and push it up as far as the crossbar which should be plenty. But for the base, there's 2 bars across the middle of the seat so I need to get the pad past them. Can I just cut holes in the pads? The kit arrived, looks good quality but sadly devoid of instructions. 

The car is tucked up in the garage at the moment so hard to get pictures, as soon as its nice enough out to get it onto the drive and give it a wash I'll post some pics
