there is a 1995 omega being broken on ebay, it has leather seats would they fit ok in to my 1998? also does all the leather seats have a memory button system? and are they all recaro sports leather?
-
No, no, and no :)
-
y would they not fit? thought all class 'B' models were the same give or take a few things
-
If the seats are memory button system and you haven't got this they may not work and you may need to wire the seats in. I sold some elite seats before and the guy couldn't fit them as no wire set up for them.

i dont mind if i have to put in new loom, would it have to near any main compounts? e.g. ecu?

No - no airbags and wrong pretensioners - you'd have to be a bit simple if you thought that would be a good idea to live without these safety features
also does all the leather seats have a memory button system?
No - only elites
and are they all recaro sports leather?
All made by recaro, but not all 'sports' style. No sports seats have memory function

to fit the full memory loom, waaaayyy to much work, not worth the effort. drivers seat (only) memory will work without loom.

incorrect assumption - there was a change of spec around SRS system between early cars and minifacelifts, and a change of runner I believe for facelift.
fyi, no such thing as Omega C

Mayb i'll leave it then ;D ta for the info :y

if you have your heart set on leather for some perverse reason (sweaty and hot in summer, freezing in winter, and unreliable heaters), get some from right era :y

What's the right era by the way TB?

don't let the wiring issue put you off - there is a how to in the technical section on wiring memory seats to non-memory cars

Seats to match the same era as your car - ie prefacelift, minifacelift or facelift

not difficult to fit rear heaters - get rear seat with heaters, small bit of loom, the relays, and the switches
finding leather seats with working heaters though.........

Fair comment - they're the biz with small passengers though - wipe clean, condition occasionally and forget! Still trying to get melted sweet out of the velour on other half's car...

I know what my dad would have down to me if I made any kind of mess on his seats ;D

Would also an issue with insurance.

I have leather which I much prefer to cloth. My seat heaters all work as they should front and rear and I get 33mpg.
I must be the odd one out....
Running off to find a large chunk of wood to touch now ;)
