what your saying sounds like you want it to do it all in 1 motion but can do it in 2.
the cable has broken, that links the 2, u have to take the seat cover off the seat to fix, i cant be assed to do mine, done it a few times but doesnt bother me because i don't sit in the back
#4: Re: seat wont recline. Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 11:23 am ---- ok ta might give that ago so take the black handles on the side off and have a look around for a spring?

Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 11:25 am ---- no getting in the back is fine its when i have a small passenger that wants the seat to recline to a more upright postion it will not move. it fold perfect and go back and forward fine and up and down fine.
hence why its annoying me.

Author: Jamie1337, Location: Dorchester, DorsetPosted: Fri Feb 18, 2011 11:52 am ---- I've got a damaged seat frame (haven't got round to binning yet) I can take pics of for you if you like? The frame is twisted so ignore that but otherwise you can get an idea of the mechanism you'll be combating?
