Carl160180 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 On the bottom of the runner that don't have the handle on it there should be a spring loaded latch that locks into the "teeth" of the runner to stop it moving, Check this is engaged into the runner, Maybe the spring is buggered on it?

Graeme Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 iirc if it does not lock in place thats MOT failure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4ffa Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 it does lock on one side of the slide the side that it dosnt lock or have the locking bits its that side that twists right hope this helps its these slides of what i looked theres nothing to lock them in place on my old subframe was the same but that had bars inbetween them to stop that... should there be a bar inbetween them???

theresa Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 yeah there should be a bar in between 'em mate As above The bar is bolted in between the two runners, at the rear (more towards the rear of the seat, rather than the middle or at the front) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4ffa Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 ok kool will have a look tomorro to see what i can do cheers peeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theresa Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 ok kool will have a look tomorro to see what i can do cheers peeps Sorry, just had a proper look now. There are 2 flat bars that go between them. One at the back and one at the front, but only the drivers' side has this. The flat bar is the one showing on the photo, with the big silver nut on it. That's a view from under the rear of the drivers' seat Hope this helps a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
