Blimey I have have just had what sounds like the same problem..

Do you have a little cranked rod type wrench with yours?   That is used for manual adjustment of the seat.

In my case someone who I won't name put the seat all the way to the back - it never goes there normally and I suspect went past a dry spot on the track.  Then it would move back and forward up to a point, but not all the way forward - mrs ians was not happy.

I could not see anything in the way, but tried the wrench - pretty stiff but got through the stiff point and now works fine , although I haven't tried taking it all the way back again.

Moral may be to fully exercise the movement once in a while.




This sounds the most plausible. give there are no obstructions.  :y

its a rod , must be about 8 inches long with a crank in it so its a bit like a mini starting handle.   the end is a square section - like a square allen key.

Behind your left heel is the motor - you insert the tool in the motor and rotate - its described in the manual.

Mine was tucked in the car handbook pack in the glove box.  You could probably use an allenkey or maybe torx bit as an alternative.

ians, sorry to be a pain mate but where (if i had it) would i find this wrench thing, is it in the toolkit or attached to the seat and if its attached to the seat, where would it be?

Thanks in advance.

mine is tucked into the leather wallet in the glove box and was when I got the car.

Where are you?  maybe someone nearby with one.

just tried all the allen keys i have and nothing fits, i have located the silver motor with the hole in the front but nothing that i have placed in there has enough bite to get things going.

Hmmm -- I haven't got one of those -- but seems the most likely solution. Have to get searching

Without urging you to wreck anything -- have you a flat bladed screwdriver that fits snugly across the diagonal ?

you may be able to buy a spare from Vx,  I am sure it is part of the kit that originally comes with the car.

I just tried my torx bits but the problem is that there is a bar running across the front which limits access.
