Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi, back after a 4 year skoda journey with a lovely E320 CDI estate Avantgarde in great condition...marvellous except for: 1. the passenger side seat back will not lower, the catch moves but has no resistance so i can't drop the seat back, all ideas welcome! 2. Parking sensors aren't working...
