Oh well, just incase here's some pics. Its a OEM version of the Recaro Sportster whilst the 330s is likely based on the Recaro speed, chances are they have the same backbone construction. The two last pictures shows the offending part which is polystyrene with some fabric over the top, this had become unglued and had dropped down rubbing against the steel bar that is part of the seat back adjuster (you can just about see it passing underneath on the bottom right) this resulted in a rapid high pitch metallic squeak (like a rusty door hinge) that was almost constant on rough roads.





The offending part:

Previous owner had toddlers which like to kick the seat backs when sat in the rear, hence loads of scratches.

I stripped them down to get the seat-backs repainted. Found the cause of the squeak whilst I was there.

Same seat also found in the 2014 Jaguar XKR albeit with quilted leather.
