I've got another thread running about S spec seats (have written to LR CEO, no reply as yet), but mine had the creases accross the seat cushion, and it felt like I was sitting in a hole, so as it was in for the other things, I added this to the things I wanted looking at. Job sheet shows, OSF seat cushion replaced, but it doesnt really feel any different to before. Creases across the seat pad are still there, as are the ones round the side (by the height handle), so I'm either A)not sure anythings been done, or B)if it has, not impressed by the changes.
and before anybody adds opiton c)I cant feel anything through my  - I know where you live!

'Steering lubricated (steering clonk) not sure this has fixed anything'
I had the same - there is a TSB (?) for this and I and some others here had parts replaced, but it may be down to build dates etc.......But there is a known issue.   2007 TDV6 HSE 'Silver Lady'. With 'free' privacy glass LOL.

Mine is due to have new seat covers fitted next time it goes in to cure the fold in the seat caused by the heating pad. As you probably know, there is a TSB about this. Apparently, the new covers have an extra diagonal seam on the edges of the seat pad area. I'll let you know if this cures the problem, although no date fixed yet - I'm waiting to get my over active dashboard warnings sorted too! D4 XS MY12 Galway

Are we talking cloth or leather seats here? “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

These problems seem to be with the front cloth seats only, caverD3.  Had my squab cushions and covers replaced in early Feb, still ok at moment.
