   I went out to work in the Saxo today which i have only just recently aquired , however i have noticed a problem with the driver seat constantly sliding back and feeling really loose when i accelerate for example and then when i brake they slide forward with the momentum!
   
   Any ideas how to fix this or will i need a new seat?
   
   Thanks!

   Sounds like the runners arnt catching, take the seat out & check if all the bolts are done up tight

    as above about the runners
    
    But, saxo seats have wobbly backs anyway from experience
