I've bought a car on eBay and will be driving down to Cornwall next weekend to collect it. It's a 500 mile round trip, so I just wanted to see if anyone was local to there and wouldn't mind checking it out for me. If it's a dog, would save me a lot of travelling.

Hi,
Went to use my folding seats for the first time...and guess what yay another problem! :(
One seat the release doesn't work, feels as if it has lost tension.
