Passenger seat

[Chewy]

I noticed today, that when i pull the handle on the side of the chair, the chair no longer springs forward. It only folds forward. Just wondering if there's anyone thats come across this problem, before i rip the chair apart.

thanks!

I have also noticed recently that my passenger does not spring forward. i'm going to have a look at mine this weekend. i think they work on a cable pully basis, perhaps one of these cables has snapped? Anyway i will let you know, if you haven't already done it.

i hope you don't mind stu, but i think i'll wait til you do it. Would be very grateful to hear how you get on.

Cheers

Sorted. The seat does work on a cable pully mech, and at the end of the cable is a hook which had snapped. Anyway rather than put money in toyota's pockets, i improvised using a brake cable, You know like the ones you used to get on the B.M.X's when you were a kid. and an electrical block connector. Works Great . Dont know if you will be able to see these pictures, could send you full size pics if you like, but you will have to give me your e-mail address. http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/buttrock.gif

thanks stu!
that picture is perfect. I can see the bit thats hanging out.
Did you take the seat out? is it not possible to click the pincer like thing back in?

[suprastu]

No problem.
Yeh seat needs to come out i'm affraid. the pincer type piece has actually snapped , it should form a loop which hooks over the post part. Didn't take long anyway, only about half an hour.

[Chewy]

cool!
will be doing the same as you. last question i promise. How many screws when taking the seat out?

sorry to be a pain!

[suprastu]
