#1: Drivers seat wont lock into position Author: DCFC734, Location: ukPosted: Sat Jun 02, 2012 6:29 am ---- 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 ? Last edited by DCFC734 on Sat Jun 02, 2012 6:43 am; edited 1 time in total

Yep i tried moving the seat forward and back and trying to push the bar down(as you do) at the front of the seat but ill give it another try.

You can see the T section here
Peugeot don't sell the part separately and want to sell you the whole seat runner assembly. Item 4. Pretty expensive too
Or you can search scrappies but they are a commonly broken item so they are scarce and scappies too will want to sell you the whole runners with a probably just as worn and ready to break slider as they are made of cast aluminium
Some people drill the seat in one position and bolt it there so it will never move again but that's a bit drastic
Or, if you're handy with an angle grinder and files etc then you can make your own modified one out of solid aluminium bar, like I did (shown above) which retains all the seat functions (front/ back/tilt/slide etc) fully operational and you can be sure it will never break again

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 ?

How expensive is it if i got peugeot to do it ?
Really easy to remove the seat and fit teh new runners you say ?
Found a youtube video wich just watching now.

£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
#13: Re: Drivers seat wont lock into position Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Sat Jun 02, 2012 12:21 pm ---- I can remove a front seat in 20mins (with being careful)
#14: Re: Drivers seat wont lock into position Author: DCFC734, Location: ukPosted: Sat Jun 02, 2012 12:28 pm ---- 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
Would i just need to search for seat runner when looking to buy 1 ?
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
