Hi

My driver's seat has stopped sliding forward automatically when tilted forward.

Any advice from anyone about where to start looking? I guess it means removing the seat, but what should I look for? Is it a common and easy to fix problem?

Thanks in advance

Heh. I find this odd. I sign up to ask a question about my HGT, and find answering questions about all the other niggly things.

Yes. My drivers seat doesnt slide forward either when you lift the seat handle for access to the rear. Ok. Too much beer, but im sure you get what I mean.

If you slide the seat forward with the underseat lever, then tilt it forward and climb in the back. On the middle side (nearest the gearbox) you'll see a plastic flap. Under that, theres a cable which runs down from the lever at the top of the seat. Its got a brass fitting around it. On mine, its broken. I've tried a few things to fix it, but havent done it successfully. So i just slide it forward using the under seat lever.
 
Thanks for all the replies, peeps. I'll rip the seat out again and have a proper look.

If I find anything odd or new, I'll post the solution up here.

Cheers

JB
