Anyone else had this:
my passenger front seat is anoying it squeaks like feck at the slightest bump
can the seats be repaired,

ithink some big mumma as bin sittin in the seat and weakend it

Sure it's the seat?

My LX's seatbelt socket (the bit the belt clicks into) squeaks like nobody's business... Try squirting some WD-40 into it

if they are leather get a bit of that leather moisturieser onto them and that softens them up good. Also the wires under the seat may not be clipped in, and as highlander said the seatbelt, elimate the seatbelt as the source of the rattle by drivng with it plugged in.

no there not leather mate : iwish they were tho,
the squeak sounds like springs its anoying, imight just go to a yard and find a 406 with the same patern and swap the seat over,

ihate squeaks and rattles

i also hate them, check all the wires under the seat, if they arent clipped into the holders sort that out, and failing take the seat out and investigate further.

its probably 1 of the cross springs under the ass bit,

bit of WD should sort it

just wd all the moving bits under the seat.

found out what it is,

Loose bolts

anyone know how to remove the seat?

its been done.

ikeep forgetting ive got a Paynes manual on cd rom - igot off knock off nigel iwill have to have a nosey at it and see how the seat comes out withought breaking more bits off it,,

up too now ive found a yellow wire hanging down and a bolt loose or missing from the back corner of the seat,
"I wish istill had my mig welder if idid- id weld the fecker in so it dont squeak again

The seats come off pretty easily.
The wires are connected to the bottom with convenient connectors.
The seats themselves are held on by 4 torx bolts.
Disconnect wiring, un screw the back bolts, then slide the seat back and unscrew front bolts.
Job done

Make sure when you refit the seats that you bolt the front 2 bolts in before the rear. The front holes in the seats are the exact size of the bolts, but the rears are in more of a sausage shape.

When I changed mine I tightened the rear bolts first then spent 10mins shouting obscenities at the car before I found out why the front holes wouldn't meet!

Thanks wave,
it looks like going off what youve said -that someones had the seat out before and not put it back in right,
iwill take it out and have a go at getting it back in right and May-be add some loc-tight to all the Threads on the bolts as they Apear to have Worked loose,
