Plan A- with Daves remote assistance use NCS to code the seat movement in- failed as my version of NCS wouldn't progress past a certain point.
Plan B- Dave with laptop arrived on site and coded the car- success. Apart from the seats still didn't move.

So we investigated further and opened up the seat and car yellow plugs to check the pins all align.
On the passenger seat- bingo, one of the major higher rated wires had no feed- so by applying power to it we successfully managed to get a movable seat! Game on!
So same principle on the drivers side became more complex- in that this seat has just 2 higher rated voltage wires and 2 can bus wires- here we discovered that the pins to the +ve driver needed changing to a powered pin from the car, however there is no can bus feed from the car.
At that point we had to call it a day as I had no appropriate wire with me- but I plan to now jump the can bus feed from the passenger side or the radio to finish the exercise off
Lessons learned today:
On E89 cars with functions like electric seats NOT fitted from factory, the loom is NOT in place
Facelift to non facelift seats have different pin configurations
Onward!
