Aaaargh! ANy got a drivers side electric seat switch??

MikeV8SE · Dec 22, 2010

OK, that's annoying! Since owning my RRC, the drivers seat switch hasn't worked fully - the base goes back and forth and tilts, but the back rest only goes back and not upright again! This hasn't been a problem as I leave it where it is - until reaching round to the back seat my leg caught the switch and moved the back rest back. Now I cant move it upright again!!!

So, anyone know if you can move the seat back manually? Or failing that, got a working drivers side seat switch they would be willing to sell? It is from a '91 Classic, no memory function.

Cheers!

there is a big thing about cleaning the switches on rr.net but I think you know that.

I think its run on cable drives, if you take the back off you may be able to do it manually with a drill but I am just guessing here.

I am sure someone will be along to correct me.

Feel lucky , its way better than what happened to me the other day!

Yeah I had a go at spraying some contact cleaner in there, maybe I need to go a bit further - TBH, if I can adjust it once, that's all I need!! Once it's set I don't need to move the back rest, only the base back and forth for the missus!!

You're welcome

But you've got two Rangies, so between the 4 front seats they must all go up, down, back and forth and tilt front to back?!

lol me and K-man couldnt make one good classic between the 5 of ours lol , let alone his two

The pleasure I had the other day was that my heater matrix exploded and flooded the car , it was running out the door like I had been wading lol

Bypassed it now and after a sleepless night thinking the headgasket had blown and or the valley gasket had gone and a quick call to stu and some spannering and bleeding she seems all ok, but FFS on the first day of my Christmas hols :doh:

Cost me a bloody fortune in antifreeze to :doh:

Thank God its ok now though

That is a **** day!! How do you make it not stink? Wet carpets, etc!!

fett · Dec 23, 2010

well I took out the carpets and sound proofing mats both sides and dried them in the house to make that stink of antifreeze :doh:

and its had a dehumidifier running in the car for 3 days and extracted about 2 pints of water so far lol.

Fan heater coming tomorrow to add the the mix lol

on the upside the 18x12 inch plate I welded into the drivers footwell the year beore last still looks very nice with no rust on it
