Hi been trying to find a used rear seat locking mechanism for my 2014 Panda 1.2 pop,this part (image) is becoming very difficult to get hold of,so any ideas on parts suppliers or if you know a good scrap yard that knows about fiats would be good,or if someone got this sitting in his shed,you never know

Google Fiat parks and Fiat breakers. The problem is they will want to sell the whole seat. It might also be worth trying Fiat as they just might not be as bad on price as you think.

Yes,I have had that experience with breakers,want to sell the full seats £200+ you cannot blame them with the lock gone ,the seat is pretty useless,maybe have a go with Fiat,but my experience with main dealers on pricing is not good,give it a go,thanks

see reply to other post on this Shop4Parts can order as special part (according to their website) for £58 plus VAT. Their part number S4P32243 for the right hand seat and S4P32242 for the left (which curiously costs a pound or so more)

I always find it easier to speak directly to Shop4Parts who are an excellent resource and very approachable - this will eliminate any uncertainty.

Having the correct parts number has certainly helped with dealing with shop4parts site I have tried to explain this item with no luck on this site,but with all the posts on the forum,I now have a clearer out look to complete this annoying problem,thanks to all

I assume 'left' is the nearside (the part catalogue refers to 'the left' as seen from the driving seat looking forwards)

Ok,that I would say is correct,to make sure I have emailed shop4parts,thank for all your help,hope I can help you with sometime in the future.

My pleasure. It's for things like this these sorts of forums (fora?) are really good.

Makes one wonder if one should be stocking up on specific Panda parts before they are made of unobtanium.

As one of Fiat's biggest selling models (outselling the 500 in most markets), I think there's a long way to go before parts stop being available for the 312/319 Pandas.
