    Hoping someone has a link or PDF on how to do this. Including torque settings (metric would be good :) and any tips disconnecting electrical etc.

    I've done this on Porsche cars and have managed ok. I could only find one link on this forum but it was dead.

    Any help appreciated, many thanks.

    I have removed my electric seats, pretty straight forward although the seat belt bolt can be tricky as not much room to fit fingers and/or wrench.

    BTW I note it says to disconnect the battery. Do you know if that will effect the car or throw any code warnings up, when the battery is reconnected?

    Only cars I've fine this on was Porsche 964 and 997 and there were no issues on battery reconnection. Ferraris I'm not so sure about!

    I have disconnected my battery many times for various reasons and never had a issue. Just remember to put the windows down at least a few inches before disconnecting and after reconnecting run the windows fully down and fully up before closing the doors.

    Very good info, thanks for all that. It seems kind of quirky, in a car this advanced - but I shall do as the F bible say!
