[s-cars] heated seats

[Mark Strangways]

I did a repair to my drivers seat of my ex 5000TQ.
It had a broken wire in the right side near the knee area. I was easily able 
to find the broken wire, due largely to the burnt area around it, but since 
I was to splice it, it became hard to get any extra wire from the mat to 
make the splice. Subsequent jobs became more frequent and subsequently 
easier and faster.

There is little joy in removing the leather from the seat or back area, but 
it's doable as is most crap with these cars.
