Love them, if I could only choose two options it would be heated seats (they come with the heated window) and ABS.

The seats get going within a few seconds so fill that gap between setting off and the engine getting warmed. It could do with a heated steering wheel, to be honest. Rolling Eyes

I tested mine the other day to see how good they were (never had heated seats before)

it was 30 degrees out side and I spent most of the journey with air con running,

switched them on and within 25 seconds my arse was a-flame and I swear my kidneys melted ! I turned them off immediately and it took 20 minutes for them to cool down properly ( still driving the whole time )

in hind sight, a foolish idea but.... I know they work and my wife will love them in the winter so while shes moaning about the stiff suspension shell at least not be moaning about being cold

I think I need to replace the elements in my seats then. They are the original factory fits and they don't get very warm at all when tested.

Another one for the Job list Whistle

Will definitely do the before the weather changes as I won't do without them in other cars.

Hello Keith

Is that an aftermarket kit you bought, my kids complain about how cold it is at first during the winter months, I did try one of those ceramic 12v heaters in the back, though it was about as much use as a chocolate fire grate Laughing

Cheers

I have the CCP on my 110 and its great - the seats get nice and warm very quickly, very nice on cold wintery days (remember them???) I just wish the setup had heated mirrors as well.

By the way I also wouldn't be without aircon, I'm actually spitting feathers (and will soon be doing so literally) that our new lorries at work don't have aircon (the old ones did!!!) 2011 110 USW
