s210 E220cdi estate
Shortly after starting off this evening my seat suddenly started moving forward.
The controls are on the door and not touched in any way.

Fortunately it stopped before squishing me against the steering wheel. Not sure whether because it had reached the end of its travel, because of my fiddling with the controls or because it decided it had frightened me enough.

The car is a W210 e class estate and normally the control has to be held to keep the seat moving including the memory button.

I have been having a number of other problems lately, but can't see how they might be connected - intermittent limp mode - thermostat replaced - fuel line leak.

Anyone got any ideas?
 
Yes this is a problem I have encountered.. Playing with the switch normally sorts it but the culprit is the seat control unit IIRC.
