Guest 540Si Report post Posted October 2, 2007 Hi I have what I think is a case of "cable slipped off pulley" in the passenger side recaro - and was wondering how best to tackle sorting it out. The backrest moves unevenly (twists) when moved fwd or back. If someone could outline the basic procedure I'd be grateful, before I get all nasty with it and do something I regret. And in the interest of knowing how much time to set aside for the job, does the seat need to come out of the car? Cheers! Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest 540Si Report post Posted October 2, 2007 i have some semi stuffed leather std seats that you could use bits out of if you need . Ta Brent I found a helpful site today detailing the likely cause and some possible solutions so I'll get onto it (probably on the weekend) and might get back to you. I did want to ask about parts from that 530 you're parting out too. My heater pump is knackered and am keen to get a good one amongst other bits too like another window washer reservoir complete with the little pump for it too. Cheers!

Have seen a cable outer shortening solution on the net, so will hope that's all I need. Might have to hit you up about some other bits and pieces (and advice!) for my 540 too.
