Thank you muchly!
Be wary of fitting an R& J swivel (probably any others as well) to a 2025 onward van as you MUST keep the seat belt wiring intact!
If you don't you will have an airbag warning on the dash which needs the van 'plugging in' to clear.
It is possible to modify the wiring loom to enable the seat to swivel and keep it all working but it's not a simple job! You have to be very careful to route the loom in such a way to reach when the seat is rotated but not get trapped in the seat mechanism when the seat is moved, jacked and lowered.
To identify the problem vans, you will have eight wires joining the seat loom (just belt monitoring) to the main loom where as the older vans only had two.

Thanks for that, it’ll be a couple of months before I do this so will let you know what issues/solutions I come across.
