driver seat squab

I have a 2002 4.4 E53 and was wondering if any one has any idea about replacing the driver rh seat squab (comfort seat)?
I am not afraid of dismantling seat and disarming the airbags' have the workshop manual.
I suppose one way is to obtain a used seat and use it as a spare, or buy a new replacement (part no.???).

You may still be able to buy the padding, but not the cover as they’re long out of production.

This page from Realoem will give some clues. Note that the catalogue is now almost 5 years out of date so part numbers showing as available may not be.

If your looking to replace the piece second hand then get a passengers seat, it will probably be cheaper and the r/h piece will be in good nick
