Steviekid Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Got my car back from the garage last week (after four months!) to discover the seat only went backwards and forwards at the left hand side, so just swivelled then jammed. This wasn't too handy as it was as far back as it would go and I was hard pushed to reach far enough forward to get the clutch to the floor!:thumbdown Decided to take the seat out yesterday to investigate which was a complete bastard as you could barely get in to the rear bolts. Anyway, when I got it in bits I found the plastic toothed wheel in the motor unit that turns the shaft was completely eroded away and unfixable. Phoned toyota to get a price for the motor by itself.........................£240!!!! Think I'll put up with using the socket set to move it into a decent position.

Steviekid Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Stevie, if you want I can check prices from here, if you have the part number let me know. Cheers but got it in the right position now so it won't really have to move again. Was just having a rant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Nic, I may have the same problem. Fore-aft switch on driver's side seat just makes slight dunk/click noise but no movements. Could be the motor. May be pulling it this weekend to take a look while doing headlight refurbish. Please price the motor for me. Anybody have a diagram of what needs to be done to remove the driver's side seat (Jspec)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JK888 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I am experiencing the same problem (as seat will not move forward or backward) so how do I adjust seat manually? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Nic, you never got back to me with the price on that plastic cog assembly. Anybody got a PN? JK - If you look at the front of the seat rail, you'll see a nut capped over a long barrel screw. The cog is attached to the seat while the motor rotates the long screw. As the screw rotates one way, the seat moves forward, and visa-versa. You can attach a socket and adjust the seat, but you run the risk of further damaging the cog or the motor. If the motor is already proper fooked, then who cares. I went ahead and took the 5 bolts out and manuevered the seat to check first. Turns out there's nothing wrong with the motor. Just the cog on one side is stripped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
