Hi thanks for the information,

So, T40 to remove the seats from the car, is it a different size to remove the seats from the rails though?

Thanks

You will need a 13mm spanner to remove the seat from the rails

There are four T40 holding the rails into the floor and i think six 13mm nuts four at the front and two at the back so that is all the tools you will need 13mm spanner and a T40 just go careful when unclipping the wires as they have an air bag fitted

Someone said to remove the keys & that should be fine & not to put em back in until the seats are replaced...
