Whats not actually working on the height adjustor?
Normally you sit on the seat, pull the handle up, seat will drop down & back then let go of the handle & the seat should stay there.

Does the adjustment lever feel very loose? Mine came back from the dealer with a loose adjuster after it had been in for something completely different.
If you take the seat out, you should be able to see a loose pin that is normally welded in place on the side of the seat frame. If you have a welder, you should be able to push the pin back in it's normal place and weld it in place. If you don't have a welder, like me, you can use a 40mm long mate bolt. Measure the length of the thicker part of the original pin and cut a length of aluminium pipe to act as a shim. then push that into place, nut at the end and it should work again.

ALRIGHT jesus i'm just saying I had a similar problem but on the passenger seat it was stuck in a posistion and i couldn't adjust it and the handle would be fine to let people in but adjustin the tilt it was like the handle was stuck. I was just making a point that it's most probably something stupid like easily fixed!!!!!!! So just read what i said instead of trying to be the ultimate knowledge I know how much of a wounder it is so I was trying to HELP

You're still talking about the wrong handle.
He's on about the one to the front and left of the drivers seat... makes the seat go up & down, not tilt.
