   hi,
   
   i'v done a search with "seat move" but not found anything, so would like to know if its a general problem with the saxo.
   
   when i'm in the drivers seat if i lean back then ease my self forward the back of the seat moves, far as i know the seat should be locked in position shouldn't it ?
   
   
   checked the seat and can't find anything thats loose, is it just likely to be a bit of wear on the joints ?
   
   
   apologies if its a dumb ass question

   my drivers seat is terrible, when I Brake I go forward and when I accelerate I go backwards, I was told to get VTR seats as they are the most stable... Hopefully I have found some to go and look at soon, so will report back if they are any better..

   I have this problem, its not quite as bad as SaxoDesire - but every now and then when I floor it, I slide all the way back :/
   
   Bit annoying, haha

   Im in a VTR and the passenger seat is kind of the same, well it will only lock right back, if you try and move it its just like a rollercoaster!
