Haven't taken delivery of this car yet, but does anyone know if the wiring is in place for electric leather interior, please?

Depending which model spec. and what year.

If its an early on, IE: 1996 or so, and an LX then likely not.

Theres a chance though if its a later car - 1997 possibly and an SX spec...

But personally, Id assume NO there is not. However, its really NOT that hard to wire in a power feed for them! I did this in a S2 LX Xantia, with No rear electric windows or harness's for seats! I picked the power from the Spare Electric Sunroof plug that was hidden under the carpet! I had recovered the floor harness from the car that had the leather in it in the forst place though.

Thanks for that. I'll have the car this evening and post back about it.

No experience on the xantia,but i did this on the c5 and found that the wiring was there ready to plug in but was seemingly not connected/configured with the bsi. If this is the case for you its an easy fix to run a power cable straight from the battery to the seat fuse panel (on the c5 behind the glovebox), good luck with the fit.
