Had a problem this morning where the drivers seat wouldn't lock into place. Question is is the bit/part that locks the seat into place part of the seat or part of the runners that are under the seat ? Reason I ask is i found a broken part on the mat behind the drivers seat thats broken off which i presume is part of the locking mechanism.
I can post a picture of the broken part if it helps ?

Doesnt look broken to me, try sliding it back into the rails from the back of the rails.

Thanks deckchair, yes visiting a scrappie was something i had thought of but alas thats out the window. Im not handy with an angle grinder (dont even own 1). So my options are drill a hole and bolt in place but i guess the seat wouldn't move then would it, angle grind it like deckchair did or get peugeot to replace it.
Dont have much choice do i ?
Could another garage do the job (just thinking of the cost) or is peugeot d/ship only option ?

Any garage could replace the runners for sure once they'd obtained the new ones from Peugeot but it's quite easy to remove the seat and replace the runners yourself.

£60 ph plus parts but the runner assembly is expensive. I think it's around £120

Yes i think so. 2 hours tops even taking your time. I suppose you could just take out the new slider/catch and drop it into your existing runner, expensive slider though

Just watched the video, seems easy enough to do, undo the 4 bolts, lift out the seat, replace the runners with the new ones and fit the seat. Only question i have is does the runners come away from the seat easy enough ?
Would i just need to search for seat runner when looking to buy 1 ?

Yes just 4 bolts and it falls out

Yes that's the thing that is going to be time consuming. I wish you luck with that

Probably even quicker with an airgun but we are talking virgin seat remover here
