Guest Visa10E Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 The driver's seat on my 02 C5 2.2 HDi Exclusive, has now broken in 2 places - previously one of the bolts underneath had sheared off, so I propped the seat up with some wood, but this morning, one of the metal bars that supports the seat itself has snapped - clearly its time to fix this properly, does anyone know if the seat bases are sold seperately so it could be simply replaced or am I better off sourcing a replacement seat from a scrapyard? God I'm sick of this car. Quote
Guest Visa10E Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Just to rub salt into the wound, Ive just been on to Evans Halshaw Bradford to see if they could fit a replacement seat base - they quoted me FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHT POUNDS plus VAT and fitting! For a piece of metal tubing! I guess Im going to have to find a scrapyard, does anyone know of one in the Yorkshire area that dismantles Citroens? There must be a few as these useless pieces of junk seem to want to dismantle themselves! Quote
paul.h Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 If you get stuck sourcing a new or second hand part, if it is a metal part that has broken then it may be possible to weld it back together. If so, do it off the car and removed from the seat bits with the air bag so nothing is set on fire or the air bag may be set off by electrical current. Quote
Guest Visa10E Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 It's a given that I won't be doing any welding as I struggle to wire up a household plug, I'll have to find a scrapyard or get my local garage to weld the thing up Quote
coastline taxis Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Guess your not going to like this but if youd fixed the seat first time round it would of been ok now. anyway if your anywhere near the tyne and wear area ive got a seat you can have . Or if your sorting it yourself then i reallly wouldnt bother with the welding and go for the scrapyard option as it will save you time and money in the end. And may god have mercy on your soul for calling citroens there brilliant man Quote
Guest Visa10E Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I'll happily drive up to the north east if the seat is the right colour - how much do you want for it? My seats are the Exclusive velour in grey Quote
