   My drivers side seat is loose, it tilts backwards and forwards when changing gears and setting off + breaking. Anyone got a idea of what is up with the seat....

   Bolts might need tightening up, think they're T40 or T45's.

   that happened on mine, a front bolt had come away from the floor through its hole. I refixed using an extra large washer

    you do it in the car mate just pull the carpet back away from the area and surround with damp cloths / rags and weld it back into place
