Does anyone feel when they jack their front seat up, it seems to slowly but surely lower itself???

I am sure it keeps dropping itself, and I have to keep pumping it up!!


N.B Am not a hefty bloke either!!! Anyhoo off oot on me mobike.....

I have the same problem, dealer does not seem to be able to fix it so I just give the lever a crank every so often. I weigh 80 Kg so not huge either.

I have the same problem!

No problems with mine (all electric memory seat) and i weigh consideraly more than 80kg

This has been a constant feature of my car (manual seat adjustment).

I've developed an instinctive action of checking it frequently, by which I mean probably every 30 minutes or so  Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!

Despite setting memory for the seat to be right back, whenever i press the memory to get it back to where I have set it, I always have to "push" the seat back a couple of centimeters. An minor but annoying fault. Never goes down on its own though Freelander 2.2e HSE , Privacy, Fully debadged, 19" Chrome SHadow alloys

mine does exactly the same.pump it up every time i jump in.

mine too!! tend to catch hande with my thigh on entry and exit!!! dealers have proper test for this fault!! they block lever with a bit of wood and see if seat drops!!

My seat has dropped since the day I got the car in March 09. It has been back to the dealers three times and had a new seat base fitted. It was in on Monday and they said that LR Tech had requested that they took a picture of me in the car seat at the position I usually had it set, cannot see how this will help them. Any way I have had enough and have complained to Customer Services saying that the car is not fit for purpose if they cannot fix the problem. It is obviously a national problem as the technician admitted there was a problem with frl 2 's and Disco's seat bases but LR are not able to solve it I also asked Customer Services if they were going to do a recall they were non committall
This is spoiling what was a really fine motor especially the way LR are handling the issue Fuji White GS 12 privacy glass leather retrim

Ask them to replace the seat with an electric model, problem solved probably cheaper than numerous attempts to fix the existing seat?

None of the dealers want to know...Is a new base a solution? What rights do we have?

Well......

Just about to call Guy Salmon in Sheffield to add this as its going in next Monday for few other warranty bits n bobs (Loose rear view mirror and replacent trim under the windscreen that has bellowed up)

Will see what they say.....  Anyhoo off oot on me mobike.....

Mine has the same problem since I bought it (a couple of years ago).
I compromise though by leaving it at its lowest position and rearranging the rest of the seat adjustments including the steering wheel. I didn’t say anything to my dealer as I don’t think they could solve it and they could also hold me up at the service.
An upgrade to the electric seat adjustment sounds good but I don’t think they would do it for free.
