Title: The penny dropped........
Post by: Baz006 on 03 June 2007, 20:27:54
And it certainly did. Vacuumed the mig today and as always i move the seats right back to do the front and right forward to do the rear ect ect.........anyway, whilst moving the drivers seat forward it became jammed.......oh f@@k! i thought. On investigating i found a penny had fallen down the side and jammed between the left runner and the seatbelt anchor. Did a good impersonation of a milling machine and removed a good few thou' from the runner in the shape of a continuous swarf........took me an hour to remove it and i de-burred the runner and polished up with emery.......all i could do. It works fine so i think i was lucky. Beware people, make sure there isnt no stray coinage down the sides of the seats before moving them....

Always a good place to look when you aint got enough change for the car park though, it's worked for me on lots of occasions  ;D

Actually mine does - most of the time. I use either the diseasal Astra for work or I just started to use my bike as it's now legal [size=9]and the weather is warmer[/size]  ;)

on my last meega, the passenger seat (electric) wouldn't go back fully. Eventually found a rather mangled £1 coin stuck in the runners to be the problem ... took a while to get it out though!!
