My seat (manual) sinks, each time I get in/out I must press the lever as I slide over it.

In my opinion the idea that I hit the lever when I get out is not the reason for the sinking as surely the seat would only need one pump to get it back to the top and not the five plus that it takes after a night in the garage.

Had the problem in my 2010 in the end they agreed to fit an electric hybrid seat. Now have my 2012 GS SD4 which has the same problem but this time I have come up with a work around... Will post this pic in a min.... |

I am pleased that there are other drivers with the same problem but why not everyone it is obviously a fault that LR have had for a number of years but they are like the ostrich with its head in the sand I am not happy and want some answers as to why they have done nothing. You spend a lot of cash and expect a quality product not a one that has had a fault for nearly four years that they have ignored Fuji White GS 12 privacy glass leather retrim |

Probably because once they admit theres a design fault thats causing most people a problem they are more or less committed to doing all the cars out there for free, bit like the clutches and DMF, theres not a problem with the clutch, its the drivers using it, |

My SD4 HSE has the full leccy seats and they are rock solid, don't move anywhere unless you press the buttons. Must be an issue with the spring/ratchet on the manual adjusters. This will be a generic part, used by loads of other manufacturers (I bet LR seats are made by Johnson Controls, who make seats for most other UK manufacturers) so won't be a LR only problem. The driver's seat in my 56 reg Cooper S has a similar adjuster, but at the front right hand corner. It tends to drop a little, but then at 6'2" I always drop it to lowest anyway. |

Had the same problem on my previous 08 GS which did drop as I got in and out, but it would go all the way down over about a month. Dealer said it was due to me keeping the seat at a high level, so i wedged the lever and it still dropped. Went back to dealer who agreed to replace the manual seat base with another one and that solved the problem. |
