Sounds fine, ive never seen a compression test come up all the same (and ive done alot) I doubt that all the others were exactly "140" prob 142 138 etc. Course of action... drive it away

As I said before you'll probably need all the components in the diagram to get it working

You should be able to use any switch, use a relay, I would have to probe wires/strip seat to find out what wires control the heating. Prob would recommend a rheostat/ variable resistor switch so u could control the voltage and temp?

P.s firstly I would remove the seat backing and check the car came with no airbag in the lumbar. If so preceded with caution, and remove by uncliping and peeling back the leather

The occupancy mat is a mat under the seat leather which tells the airbag control unit weather the seat is occupied. What exactly do you want to work? Is the control unit behind the switch panel?

The original car had what they call logic switches which work on around 5v. The switches would send a signal to a small computer. More like a keyboard to a computer rather than traditional car wiring. Your best bet would be to the control unit for the seats if u want all the features. Good luck...

Ha! I ment spanners not spammers

The black box is a control unit for the occupancy mat, I worked on spammers at BMW for a long time!!! Sounds like you have worked out the rest

Post the diagram and ill explain

You need to find if it has 12v and an earth when the fault is happening, is it does, you need to replace the blower motor

My hj45 has standard 7.50 r16 and goes anywhere, why 37s???

Their main retailers here are repco and bursons, see if they will ship?

Well battery and alternator seem to be ok then, must be a fault with the light circuit, do u have acces to wiring diagram?
