1. Can anyone tell me about my electric passenger seat please? When i put the seat back forward (if you know what i mean) and then put it back again it should return to the memory position. Thing is it only goes back about 25% and when i use the buttons it's DEAD slow. Local dealer quoted me about £250 for a set of 4 new seat motors.
2. Drivers heated seat has stopped heating. Is there some sort of weight sensor in the seat squab that senses when someone is sitting in the seat? Could it just be the switch or maybe the element has gone.
3. Where is the outside temp sensor fitted and is it accurate?
4. How accurate is the trip/fuel computer and fuel gauge?
Sorry about all the questions but i'm fairley new to Peugeots and only have very basic mechanical skills.
Thanks Guys.

Can't help with much but I think i'm right in saying the external temp sensor is in one of the wing mirrors. Should be some sort of visible nodule.

I've got a 406 Exec:
1) no idea - mine only has memory on drivers seat. Are you refering to the 'tip-forward' to allow passengers into the rear? Maybe that's a different mode of operation??
2) Mine works regardless of whether the seat is occupied or not. Could be switch/fuse/element. I'm guessing there's a wiring connector under the seat - has that become loose / dirty / damaged?
3) I've always thought it was in the mirror (drivers?) too, but don't know for sure.
4) Never done any scientific tests, but my impression is that they're pretty accurate. When the low fuel light comes on I can 70litres of fuel in the tank and it's only suppossed to hold that in total.

Thanks Guys.
Temp Sensor - Thinking about it, i have noticed some sort of nobbly bit underneath the drivers mirror when i've been cleaning the car. Never thought about it before, but won't it give a false reading if it is in the direct airflow?
Seat - Yes, i mean the back of the seat that folds down to allow passengers to get in and out. The dealer told me that a set of 4 motors controlled the seat operation, one of them being the back/forth of the whole seat. Not sure if they come as 1 unit or seperate motors though.
Heating element - I did have the wiring block fiddled with to stop the side airbag warning light staying on, maybe it's something to do with that.
