Rear seats really stiff to slide
Both my rear seats are really stiff to slide backwards and forwards. What sort of grease would you use on the runners to try and make them slide easier? MY23 D250 Defender 110 X-Dynamic SE, Carpathian Grey, 7 Seat, Electric Towbar

Try spraying silicone lubricant on the runners.

The springs are indeed stiff when new. I have found that over time they loosen up a bit with use. I've got a family of 5 so the middle row is moved almost daily and the spring tension is noticeably less stiff compared to when new (6-7 months ago).
