Title: Rears Seat Problem
Post by jon_viola on Nov 7^th, 2009, 8:37am

Hi,

My Drivers side rear seat back won't lock into place. The catch seems to be permanently down and i cant move it. Any suggestions? I'm worried it'll fail the MOT!

Cheers

Jon

Have a look at THIS page (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/seatsmanual.htm) and scroll down to the relevant section. ;)

jon.
The seat belt is not fixed to the seat,therefore MOT should not be affected by it.If the seats were folded down when you go for test,the seatbelts could still be checked.

I have problem that my seat won't unlock :D

There's no button where to press ::) It has gone to somewhere. What should I do ?

Tekno,

the locking button or tab is behind the seat in the load area. Look at the top or the rear of the back seat next to where the catch is in the boot or load area

Was it the red one you moved? Are you sure the button(by the headrest) unlocking mechanism is working?

That explains, guess you need to get hold of the missing parts. Is it on both sides like that?

No, left side has working mechanism.. Already detached whole left seatback for further investigation (at indoor ;D)
