Technical Lumbar support repair

[atom0007]

The lumbar support in the driver's seat is broken, turning the adjustment wheel does nothing.

Any way to fix it short of a new seat?

see if the knob actually turns da spindle

I'll have a fiddle with the old nob later

You know this is bound to end up in someone's signature !?

just to make it worse when a fat bloke has sat in it and twiddled the old knob and snapped the lumbar support wires

I tried chocolate blocking them - got some support back, but tbh it lasted 5mins

punto im running
i posted a picture of the seat tonight
i successfully repaired the rear support with chocolate blocking, not the lumbar though as run out 2b's dont come with adjustment facilitasions:yuck:
i used 30 amp
its still working
how much exactly do you weigh

in my defence they were piddly 3amp chocolate blocks
The screws werent that big

The Lumbar works on both sides -mine only worked on 1, so it pushed the buckle side in and left you more uncomfortable

Tbh i aint tried the mk2b's yet
