Hi,

Does anyone know what's happening at DMS? Tried calling them - no answer and their website is offline.
Had my DB9 serviced there a few months ago and want some advice re. flat battery and problems I have had since charging it up (Emissions warning and power seats only go forward not back (random).
Or does anyone know anyone local to Warwick that can help - not bothered if it's not main dealer (prefer not to be honest)?
Cheers

Bamford Rose are probably your most local indie, near Shipston-on-Stour, not used them yet myself but my DB9's going in later this week for a service. Lots of positive comments on here about them.

DMS are no more mate

Really? Any ideas why?

Not through lack of business I would assume

That's a shame - nice to find people who are passionate about the cars - not a kid with a timesheet.
Thanks JaseB for the trip - will check them out

Mcgurk performance cars now Offer Aston Martin servicing and are only down the road in Kineton, so ten mins from you.

Also, that's where I live, so should you ever need any product advice or your car detailing, give me a shout.

To reset the seats move then completely forward and up (press the back of the seat button up not the front) when it gets to its maximum forward and up position it should then move as normal. Not sure on the emissions issue though, I do have a code reader which might help I live in Redditch though so maybe a quick chat with the local guys is better.

Thanks SLacker - will go and try this. I'll try BR and see if they can do a reset for me on the emissions issue.

Cheers - thats where I got the car, so might give John a call. And, yes I'll give you a shout if needed.

OOPS, tried that on the passenger seat and it didn't work (thought it best not to do it on drivers!). Any other ideas?

Hi

This is from the workshop manual

Seat Module Calibration

This mode allows the seat module to learn its position. The
seat needs to know exactly where it is to electronically
prevent seat movement into certain areas within the
mechanical seat movement envelope.

Calibration mode is activated by a diagnostic command or
by switching on the Battery Disconnect Switch while holding up the seat height
switches.

1. With the Interior light relay ‘On’, i.e. door open, move the seat forwards or backwards, then disconnect the vehicle battery (either physically or via the BDS) before the interior light relay switches ‘Off’ (five minutes unlocked, 30 second locked). The seat module is now in calibration mode.

2. Drive the seat fully forward, allow the motors to stall against the seats mechanical end stops.
3. Drive the seat fully upwards, allow the motors to stall against the seats mechanical end stops.
4. The seat module is now out of calibration mode.

When I did mine I did the drivers seat and went full forward and full up (using the rear part of the seat base adjustment button) and then it all worked fine.

Many thanks - done that and it works - really appreciate the help. I have the workshop manual myself so should have looked there when i did the window reset.

Thanks to cveryone who came up with suggestions - all fixed now. Emmissions issue sorted by JP MCGurk and their fine new factory trained technician - who plugged in their laptop and sorted it in 5 mins! Cheers John.
