sorry about the delay been busy at work...... here is a quick pic i took last night not good lighting i know but I'll get some more tomorrow, its got its MOT next week a couple of things i wanted to ask was;

1. drivers seat doesn't have runners its just bolted at the front so you can tilt it forward? is this a fail?

also anything else i should check before it goes in...i'm really worried and just want it out of the way so i can hit the road

Cheers

no it is not a fail, that is how you get in and out of the back of a 2 door, your passanger seat should be the same

It's not supposed to be a fail - but my local MOT place will only pass it if the tipping motion is very very stiff. So I have some black duct tape trapped between the bar and clamp which makes it suitably firm. Good luck with that MOT - but a general rule is - never buy a car that doesn't have at least 9 months MOT on it!

But his car is a 4 door, so is that still correct?

[stevey]

yep a 4 doors front seats are the same. never caused a problem before
