Driver's seat adjustment.

[Steve_Perry]

Would anyone know why my driver's seat (with manual adjustment) backrest will now only adjust in one direction? The hand wheel located to the centre of the car (on the left) will only rotate so as to move the backrest into a more horizontal position and refuses to budge the other way to allow a more upright position. I daren't fiddle with it anymore as it will be like a sun lounger with no means of getting the back rest upright again. All other adjustments e.g. slider/height/seat base angle seem to work fine.

*EDIT* Any kind souls have any assembly diagrams (exploded view) they wish to share?

Because its broken?
You could try rocking the seatback back and forward when you try and wind it in a upright direction to free it up a bit. I don't have any suggestion of what might actaully be wrong tho sorry.

I did all that last night with no joy. However, I managed to get it moving this morning but it was bloody stiff.

Well at least it's moving albeit reluctantly and I have managed to adjust the seat how I want. Anyone have any seat diagrams please?
