Default Seat replacement 1990 xjs

Greetings Jag Forum,

I'm considering the purchase of a 1990 xjs convertible.

Wondering if anyone has had experience with somehow adding lumbar support to the driver's seat?

Or swapping it out for a more supportive seat?

The current seat is a manual adjust -

Thanks for any input,

Cheers,

Stonehenge Kid

It should have lumbar support. Look alongside the transmission tunnel, close to your knee. You most likely have 2 switches there: one to activate the seat heating element, and another to adjust the lumbar support.

Both my 89s have had these. I thought they were standard going forward.

Thanks Flint -

I had not noticed that - the salesman mentioned it, but also attempting to check out all his 'stories'.

Appreciate the feedback -

Thanks again, Flint -

You are correct - lumbar support for both seats w/ switch next to seat heater.
Enough support to make it a go -

Cheers -
