Just freed mine - there was a pen in the runner nearest the gear lever that was stopping the mechanism working. Use my son's laser pen to see it then used a skewer to push it out from the front. Hope that helps.

Hi ktuggers3005, my front seat is also jammed. Did you make any progress in fixing yours - I'd be interested to know.

I too have the 'rumbling noise' under the bonnet and also extremely heavy power stearing when the car is stationary and idling, but becomes lighter once the car wheels are moving slightly or with higher revs. An additional problem I have is that the battery drains if the car is unlocked for more than 60 mins or if the ignition is on in the final position for about 20 mins. Do you feel the battery issue is also a symptom of the alternator belt issue (writing this now it would seem so) Thanks, Angus
