Hi peeps, can someone help? I have Olivia, she's a 2000 3.0 SE auto and I have one issue I would like to resolve. The passenger seat will only move forwards/backwards about half an inch as the near side of the seat seems to not work, the offside seems OK so the seat sort of pivots. My question is...can the seat be removed without it moving all the way in both directions to give access to the bolts? Any help would be very much appreciated!

I'm not sure about the Jag seats but have come across similar problems on other cars where the drive from the motor gets "lost" due to a coupling failure on the seat. If you can only access the bolts with the seat completely moved forward or backwards you may have to crawl under with a mirror, torch and a pair of grips, identify the rod that isn't turning when it should and turn it with the grips to move the seat backwards and forwards so you can remove the bolts. Will be a very slow operation but at least you'll be able to remove the seat, find and fix the fault and then refit it.

Cheers for that, I think the bit that isn't moving is quite easy to get at so I'll give your idea a try 😃

You're welcome, good luck with it! It's worked on the other cars, i'm not sure if the Jag seats are wildly different but would think there is a fairly common adjustment mechanism sold to a variety of manufacturers so hopefully the same method will work across marques.
