Faulty Drivers Seat

Hi all, just bought a W reg 9-3 convertible which so far we love. However one niggle that has begun to annoy us is the drivers seat wont fold forward when you lift the lever on the side and so makes it difficult for rear seat passengers to get in and out. The seat will happilly move forward on its rails and will partially fold forward using the handwheel at the side. But breing able to lift the lever and bring the whole seat sliding forward wont work. It worked originally when i scrutinised the car prior to buying it and we have no such problem with the passenger seat. I've had a quick look round but dont want to go delving too far when I'm not 100% on how its suppossed to work. Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot.

Hi

Had the same problem on my old X-reg conv - on the passanger seat - but on mine it worked OK for a period, fail, then work OK again.

Did a Garage untangle it for you? Or tell you how to do it?

The garage did it over two years ago and it continues to work. Greta
