Hey all.

Just got a 56 plate Eleganza a couple of weeks ago, since there was a bit of a mishap with the Punto (black ice, and a tree) my father was driving.

The car itself I am rather impressed with, Ride is very smooth, yet feels solid too, much nicer then my normal ride in the Brava!

I've came across one small issue that i'm wondering if it will be an easy fix or not. Due to time constraints its difficault enough trying to get it back to Uncle Arnolds.

On the split rear seats have found a knocking noise, have traced it to the bottom central mount area within the seat itself on the Pas side of the car. It seems to have some play in it, can move it about.
Would that be a managable fix in any way?

Any guidance on this would be appreciated, I have exactly the same problem in my Eleganza.
 
Well having spoken with uncle arnolds, they say its a replacement of the folding seat job to replace, some sort of worn or damage to the joint I think has ocurred.
This is not something covered under the warrenty, although we have only had the car 3 weeks and reported the problem at week 2 once we traced it, so we're putting the claim in that way.
They might play ball with that, we'll see. Anyway parts been ordered from italy (arnt they all on extended shutdown atm?).
