so when i pull side lever up to let someone in the back,
seat tilts forwards but will no longer slide.
The under seat pull up lever works and lets the seat slide.

Any ideas why this has happened?
or has it ever happened to you?

...or it could be that the part where the wire fits has broken off completely and the seat needs a whole new sub frame to fix it like mine did. Renault quoted me £360.

And I had it checked by my regular local mechanic who confirmed the fault.

That's a joke if memory serves it's about 150 each if you buy recaros after Market!

If someone else is going to beat me to posting the thread regarding my one moment of mechanical triumph I may as well bugger off.

:D

EDIT: that's the best swear filter I've ever seen! "buffalo" was written as a word that rhymed with "rugger".

:lol:
