Please help me

I've been trying to get the front seats out with no joy...

I slide the seat as far forward as it can go but can't find anyway of releasing it from it's runners??

need some advice if anyone can help?

Si

Are they 3 point runners?
Get your head in the footwell with a torch & all will be revealed!
At the back of the centre mount,theres a sprung tab you need to push down.

If it's not 3-point, (up to middle of '72) there's a flat spring near the front of the inner runner on the tunnel that needs pushing down to let the stop plate slide over and off.

seems they're not 3 point, managed to get them out in the end, piece of cake when you know how eh.

Cheers for your words of wisdom

Yes, piece of cake - unless they're rusty. Take care of the plastic runners - they're quite expensive to replace, although I believe they're actually reproducing them now so not the dizzy price they once reached.
