Problem folding rear seats on 110 XS
Hi

I'm looking for some help .. I have a problem in folding the seats on my 110 XS. The one third seat folds with no issues .. fold the seat and then pull the lever to tumble it over. The two third seat I am having no luck with. I can fold the back over no problem but when I pull the lever to tumble it over it is not releasing from the floor. Confused

Any ideas? Is there another way to release the mechanism?

Thanks

Phil.

I had a problem with the strain on the cable. Not unlike a handbrake cable it could have stretched with a couple of forcefull yank releases. I had to take off the cover, loosen the cable eye and make the eye bigger, shortening the length of cable which sorted the problem and gave enough pull on the lever/cable to release the catch.

This was on my old 90 and on the rear forward facing seats but I don't see why this might not be the same with the 110 rear seats. I'll have a look on my 110 later. ===================================

Might sound stupid but have you tried pushing the seat down as if locking it back in and pulling the release at the same time

Hi .. yes, I have tried that and jumping up and down on it. The release handle doesn't feel like it's connected to anything. I can only think that the mechanism has broken (cable?) or it is stuck in a nearly open position but not quite released. Somehow I need to manually release it but need to know how.

Scratch my first comment, I can't see a cables on the rear seats but maybe the spring on the lever has disconnected to the mechanism. There are 2 springs on the back pull up and looks like they could easily ping off. ===================================
