Hi David, Humph! - Not an easy one this, as far as I'm concerned. If you look at the number of people that have read this thread and the number of responses you might think this isn't an issue. I wonder, however, if it's the sort of issue that owners dismiss and live with? As I say, my seat "groans" a bit on roudabouts and tight bends, has very very slight movement fore and aft if rocked when empty and it sometimes makes a type of sideways "clicking" sound on tight bends. I was in two minds as it doesn't amount to much, so I mentioned it in passing to the dealer when I was there for something else. He seemed to take it more seriously than I expected. It goes in the week after next and the reason for the delay is that he suggested I had a courtesy car in case he needed to order parts. At the moment the car is under warranty and I don't want to get stung for a boat load of seat bits, say, next year if something snaps!
