Take the drivers seat out flip it upside down you will see a yellow plug, you need to cut the plug out and rejoin the wires, the plug is a common fault! Easy fix

Thanks very much guys, I did search but couldn't find anything. I was worked it could be an expensive issue, my car is 3dr and 2005 so chances are this will sort mine out. Thanks again  :happy2:
