I need some W140 knoledge!

[Lugy]

Right, just a couple of things here....

Firstly, the little badly, flimsily made roller switch down the side of the front seats, what's it for? I don't have the manual as I forgot to take it from the garage

Secondly, I see that some later cars have different seats to mine which don't look as good IMO. Is this just a revision or are they part of an option?

Some sort of lumbar/orthopedic support?

Has it got three buttons with it?
If it hasn't then it's the lumbar.

Yours should be a later one as it's a 1997 it will be or should be a facelift model, the seats will be standard accross the range with the exception of the twin tone nappa leather option.

Ah, seems likely enough. I can't really notice it doing much but I'll look again today.

That makes sense about the leather too

The switch or the motor might be broken, you should feel the back of the seat getting harder or softer was you move the little wheel.
