Seat height adjustment

I have the manual chairs in the car not electric.

Do they only adjust up when you are not sat on them....never had this in a car before and it's bit of a pain when switching drivers.

The height adjustment isn't the best for sure, and to be fair if i shared the car with the misses i would have got electric, as its just me once its set its set.

its like an office chair, pull the lever and your weight drops it. Pull the lever and remove some of the weight (hold the steering wheel or push down on your feet) and it rises. Works well for me.

Chair?! Do you mean seat?!

Anyway i agree with above, if you are sharing the car you should have the electric memory seats!

Really? What are they a £800 option? I think I would find a suitable workaround rather than blow that kind of coin on convenient seats....

Same here, I got the wife a cushion for her chair, £2 from pound land

Actually the swap over is not as bad as others we have shared.

I have a 9 inch advantage over her.

£950 which works out as £5 a week on a 4 year pcp.

For not having to adjust your seat almost every time you get in the car it is a no brainer imo.

Never been bullied or been a bully.

Let's draw a line under this and just agree you are a clever smart arsed tool.
Agreed his response was not humorous, neither was you saying chair really street and humorous.

I sort of side with Teastons on this one.

He said he agreed to previous replies about how to move manual seat.

However who on earth spends 45k on a car knowing before hand you need to swap drivers.

Maybe it's me but every car have bought since got married we check driving position works for us both.

Not doing that is like me getting a saloon and thinking bugger where does dog go.

That and you went offensive for the start, first time I have seen that on here, chav land yes or BMW land as well.
