Hi Steve,

You'll need, along with the seats, all three lower rear seat belt buckles and if they're heated, the full seat wiring looms and the heat controllers in the centre console oddment tray. If you have a keypad immobiliser, you'll need a special oddment tray that will take both the heat controllers and the keypad. These are a bit rare...

Most MK1's didn't have the electric seat wiring harnesses so you'll need to provide a fused 40A supply for the motors and heaters. You'll find on the loom in the donor car a heavy yellow wire in the seat loom. This is the power feed and ends up in the cabin fuse box.

Don't forget the door trims! They're leather specific on a Xantia and always in
velour (beige in a cream leather Xant and grey in a black) and with s2's have
plakky wood cappings where their fixings are different to s1 ones so a bit of
care is needed to adjust their screw mounts.

If you find adding a connection to the main fuse board a bit of a pita, you can always run it off the 12v lighter socket system. It Worked for me!
