abs3182 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 My car failed it's MOT this morning, with the main (highest cost) item being that the Driver seat is not considered "secure". When having a closer look at home, when the seat is in the lowest position (adjustable height), then the seat flexes on the back left; drops lower then you would expect and pushes forward more than it should.. If you sit in the seat and put your weight into the back of your left butt-cheek then you feel it lean a little further than it should. When I elevate the seat, the flex decreases and basically if i'd set the seat higher and turned up to the MOT they would have passed that check. What I need to understand is why it flexes so much at the lowest position.. My lack of mechanical skills do not help (but i'm a tryer).. I can't see anything that should dampen the flex, but i don't have a "working" version to compare the seat against to try and spot any differences.. Does anyone have any idea's..
