isetta Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 No, as long seat is secured so that it is not loose to go forward. The catch has to catch. It does not have to be releasable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 If the plastic handle has broken off I replaced both on a friends car with boot laces tied to the ends of the cables. You can also use cable ties but they cut into your hand more. As the handles can broken twice she did not want to waste more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 10 hours ago, dezwez said: Hi will a broken seat tilt handle fail the mot thanks in adv There's two different questions there... If you mean 'is it an MOT fail?' then the answer is no. However 'will it fail an MOT?'...probably yes, an awful lot of Mk6s get failed for broken tilt handles despite it not actually being a fail. I tried to argue mine and just couldn't make the tech understand...of course he knew best as he'd been (incorrectly!) testing cars for 30 years... To save the hassle of a fail and cost of a retest, it's probably easier to just fix (or bodge) the tilt handle so it works unless you know the tester.
