I know this video is 10 years old, but just wanted to say thanks to Jeffery K. This is the ONLY video on RUclips as far as I can see that actually shows this process clearly and informatively. It has enabled me to perform the very same repair! Thanks Jeffery. 😀
Great video! I'm going to pull out the seats in my X-Type tomorrow. The motors are perfect but it's really hard to manually move the seats back and forth. The previous owner left tons of things fall down the sides of the seats and I think they clogged up the sliding mechanism. Even after vacuuming the car half a dozen times I can always stick my hand down the side of the seat and pull out another pen, or some crayons, some money, mushed up sweets, hairclips, Legos and all sorts of random junk.. It's pretty crazy! I'm going to just give it all a good clean and maybe a bit of grease if needed. It's like _really_ hard to move both front seats, I have to hold up the lever (obviously) and use both arms and my shoulder to push, with my back propped against the door frame!
Great job, Jeffery. Congratulations. I have a x-type jag with the exactly same problem. This video fits exactly for my problem. When I fix it, I also will try to make a video. Thank you very much.
Hi, thanks a lot for your video. I HAVE A 2008 X TYPE DIESEL Jaguar shortsomewhere on the wiring p0409 coming up om my scanner, saying egr problem but I recently cleaned that out.then noticed my cigarette lighter wasn't working checked fuse in glove compartment it had blown. Fitted new fuse , switched key on and in seconds some coming from under seat.saw your video and I removed drivers seat, found the short in the small multi connector next to the large plug, now in the process of connecting individual wires. Broke the plug apart slowly and found some of the wires are. Connected together inside the plug,, there are more wires than pins. Will let you know results later....
......very good video.....one suggestion, if you get stuck like that with the motors, then change the gear mechanism from the good one to the broken one and in it goes.....
No sorry but there is one somewhere on You tube. Buy the Ford Mondeo gear,drill a hole through the gear while its on the shaft and them install the pin.ruclips.net/video/Y_Adoof0YAM/видео.html
Hey Thanks for the movie, it helped a lot. I have broken gears in both engines (up / down and tilt). Do you know if these gears are the same in both engines? I found repair kits only for the left engine (up / down adjustment), there is nothing for the tilting engine.
Hi i have a problem in the driver side i can move the seat whit my hand i go to take off today to see what is broken. Bought of my motors work. When i am driving is a problem because the seat move back and foward when i acelerate or breaking. The part of move is the seat not the back rest.
Thanks for taking the time to post this helpful video. I feel better about taking my seats out. I have an 03. My problem is totally crazy! I'm assuming it's electrical. One day a heavy person sat in my passenger seat-suddenly BOOM! Loudest pop I've ever heard! I felt it! As you know there's a weight sensor on the passenger seat to activate air bags. After that pop never had any power in both seats. I tried changing the fuse but the fuse immediately pops whenever I put one in....A short somewhere? Airbag? Any ideas? So strange. Anyone? Thanks again.
I have exactly the same issue. Got one from a breakers, but the model must have been changed slightly as the arm was longer on the new one and it won't fit. While I was at it I opened the top of the old motor and could see the issue was the plastic gear as you suggested. Can you point me in the direction of the guys on ebay that sell replacement metal gears?
An absolute fantastic video! Thank you for taking the time&trouble to make it! Mine "forward-backward" motor is working funny. After cleaning it and moving the seat to the very front position I can not move it back. I can hear the motor trying to work and one side of the seat moves back 2-3 cm, but the because the other side does not move it stack in an angle. Of course, I cant reach the two front screws to take the whole seat out. Can you suggest something?
I found them on eBay. You can also check scrap yards and the U Pick scrap yards too. They will only tell you if they have a particular vehicle not a specific part so you will need to go and see if their is one on the vehicle.

Great step by step video. No need to apologize for wobbly camera-work, you gave a great in-depth explanation all the way through.

You're Welcome
@@jefferyk4115 unfortunately you’re weren’t showing how to dissemble the seat

......very good video.....one suggestion, if you get stuck like that with the motors, then change the gear mechanism from the good one to the broken one and in it goes.....
I thought about doing that Lorenzo but then who knows how long that gear will last, so I bought a brass gear and changed it. Thanks
+Jeffery Hunter hi, do you have a video showing how to mod the screw Jack to accept the brass gear?
No sorry but there is one somewhere on You tube. Buy the Ford Mondeo gear,drill a hole through the gear while its on the shaft and them install the pin.ruclips.net/video/Y_Adoof0YAM/видео.html
You're a real life saver.
I also have a video on how to remove the back seat and the trim for the speaker cover.
Hey
Thanks for the movie, it helped a lot. I have broken gears in both engines (up / down and tilt). Do you know if these gears are the same in both engines? I found repair kits only for the left engine (up / down adjustment), there is nothing for the tilting engine.
I'm not going to say for sure but I have seen both sets of gears and they look Exactly the same. I would bet they do work.

+Harish Hirani Here is the gear you need. www.ebay.com/itm/Brass-gear-for-seat-ford-mondeo-MK3-MK2-and-Jaguar-X-type-/181519460298?hash=item2a436727ca
Have you ever thought about making gears in some Lathe? They are simple pieces, easy to industrialize. Isn't it worth doing?
An absolute fantastic video! Thank you for taking the time&trouble to make it!

I don't understand why you can not reach the bolts.Are you talking about the bolts that hold the seat frame to the floor?
I want to change whole seat - but one that is available has memory - mine dosnt those that make a difference? I just want the motors & heat to work
+Juan Nieves, Sorry but I'm just not sure.
Jeffery,
Where are you sourcing the replacement motor? Swapping the gear is more trouble than I want.
Great video. Inspiring
I found them on eBay. You can also check scrap yards and the U Pick scrap yards too. They will only tell you if they have a particular vehicle not a specific part so you will need to go and see if their is one on the vehicle.
eBay or junk yard or jaguar forum
Hi guys. Is it safe to unbolt the seat with the battery still hooked up? I need battery power to move the seat for bolt removal. Please help...
Yes
Use the light in the camera. Never know a mechanic to use a decent torch. The seat has an airbag yagbon it.
I have exactly the same issue on my driver seat - your guidance helps me out - thanks a lot!

What's wrong with your camera? This shaking is driving me crazy watching the video.
