    Okay found the part, the stop solenoid. Cable is attached securely, so no quick win. I will try and jumpstart it later on. See if that makes a difference

    Hi Just had my first Landy CSW 110 now for a week. I love it. Am thinking about putting in a pair of bench seats - the larger ones for the back. What's the best place to get them from? Happy to get a secondhand set. They sound very tricky to install, judging by other similar posts...
