#1: Seat Runner Author: Jasoon, Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2013 11:48 am ---- Just Got a 206 2.0 HDi
And ive found that only one side of the passanger seat is locking on its runners..
Before i remove the seat to try and fix it, can anyone tell me if the item in the pic is part of the seat locking mechanisum as i found it in the seat runner
Thanks Jasoon......
#2: Re: Seat Runner Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2013 12:00 pm ---- Yep its part of a little mechanisme that runs with the seat frame, that the issue. u dont need to go any further, just go buy another, they just slide into the runners when the seat is in place.

When you say just go buy another, they just slide into the runners when the seat is in place.
Can you buy that part or do you mean the full seat runner??
#4: Re: Seat Runner Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2013 12:24 pm ---- Buy the part or get one from a used seat at a scrapy for next to nothing or nothing, lol!
Sorry i dont know the part number.

Scrapyards tend to run out of them fast as they break so often. I made two new catches, as I had both seats gone, with a block of aluminium, an angle grinder and files
Look here Driver's seat broken

#8: Re: Seat Runner Author: Taff!, Location: Havant nr PortsmouthPosted: Mon Jan 28, 2013 7:40 am ---- Mine went last year on way to Wales. The mrs kept sliding forward in the passenger seat which was amusing. Peugeot seat runners were over £100. Went to a scrappy and paid a £1. I had to take it off the car though. Several scrappies wanted me to buy the entire seat
#9: Re: Seat Runner Author: Jukes, Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2014 10:31 am ---- I am running? the same frustrating problem now. The slider was stuck and the driver's seat very front. It was 5 hours of pain and sweat to make the seat move backwards again! Couldn't take the seat out because the front torxs were under the seat runners...
The broken slider needs replacement but not available alone from Peugeot. Someone posted a pic of a selfmade aluminium slider/seat retainer.
It would be a wonderful idea to make one.
The picture itself has only one angle to it. I need pics from all the sides to make sure it would work the way it should.
The original has some lines / shapes I am not sure are needed to include for replacement.
#10: Re: Seat Runner Author: Jukes, Posted: Sat Apr 12, 2014 4:25 am ---- Mr DeckChair5, do you have more pics from different angles???
#11: Re: Seat Runner Author: Deckchair5, Location: Bath UKPosted: Sun Apr 13, 2014 10:28 am ---- Hi Jukes
Ok are you ready for a step by step?
Firstly you need some 10mm thick Aluminium bar as that will save some work as you will want a section 10mm x 13mm x 36mm
Cut out a section 36 x 13mm
Now you need to mark it out like this across the 13mm side. Almost marking in thirds across the side.
Now the sections marked in cross hatch you are going to cut into but leave the top LH corner intact which is roughly a 5mm square
For the underneath which is going to sit in the seat rail then leaving around 4.5mm wide ledge at the end. I used an angle grinder for most of the coarse removal of material. Smooth the edges and check it fits in the runner nicely. Adjust and trim as necessary for a good secure fit
Finally, file a slope on the right hand side shown here for the seat top hat looking catch in the seat (shown below) to ride up over and fall into the groove you've made.
Test it out afterwards to make sure it holds the seat secure.
All movements of seat recliner, seat position memory and front and back movements work properly and mine have been installed on both seats and under heavy use daily for more than a few years now, passing UK MOTs and I think they will easily last the life of the car Last edited by Deckchair5 on Sun Apr 13, 2014 2:01 pm; edited 1 time in total
#12: Re: Seat Runner Author: Jukes, Posted: Sun Apr 13, 2014 1:16 pm ---- Wow!!! A Million thanx. Fantastic step by step pics!!! Great work done.
I am sure this helps many of us, who are driving 3-door 206Pugs
#13: Re: Seat Runner Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Mon Apr 14, 2014 6:00 pm ---- NOTE: Deckchair5 seems to suggest that he used an angle grinder on aluminium. That would get an apprentice sacked!
Unlike steel aluminium sticks to grinding wheels and can cause imbalance in the grinder causing the wheel to burst. A burst wheel at high rpm is something you don't want to be near - don't do it!
#14: Re: Seat Runner Author: Deckchair5, Location: Bath UKPosted: Tue Apr 15, 2014 3:33 am ---- Use an angle grinder with the correct sanding disc like this. www.bosch-do-it.com/gb...200646.jsp
#15: Re: Seat Runner Author: Jukes, Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2014 1:10 pm ---- It's done and works nicely. Thanx again
#16: Re: Seat Runner Author: billyboy312, Posted: Tue Oct 06, 2015 4:00 pm ---- Perfect instructions and illustrations for a guy like me who only did metal work at school.
Armed with a hobby vice, hacksaw and set of files it took around 2 hours to make and fine tune to perfect operation.
Now booked in for MOT at the end of the week!
Many thanks Deckchair5.
#17: Re: Seat Runner Author: panther12, Posted: Sun Oct 11, 2015 12:50 pm ---- I've tried with no success to get one of these sliders as everyone I've tried will only sell with the complete runners. Might try making one myself. In the meantime I discovered that without the slider in place you can still manually lock the seat into position by removing the plastic trim from the side of the seat, then you can see the top hat & spring assembly (as shown in the pic on previous page). You then place the seat in the correct position that you want it on the runners then manually press down on the lever by the spring and it will lock the seat into position.
