996 seat adjuster broken

[OrangeBob55]

The seat height adjuster handle on my 996 C2 (drivers side) has broken!

This is the handle for Manual seat height adjustment. The handle actually comes off, and looking at it, the part of the handle that connects into the chair has a crack in it (hope that makes sense!)

Anybody else ever suffered from this problem? Anyone know if it is a replacement part, or whether it's going to need something stupid like a new seat!?

Is this something I am going to have to go to the OPC for?

Anyone? no? Just me then

You should have asked if such seating unreliabilty occurs on air cooled models, then they'd all jump in and "help"...

My air cooled model has a couple of buttons operating electric motors for seat height adjustment, so frankly I've no clue what the OP is on about ...

HTH

So, I popped into OPC on Monday and asked about a replacement... Good News - it is a standard replacement part, and they have one in warehouse stock, so should be available within 2-3 days. They phone back on Tuesday, less than 24 hours later, and tell me they have it for me to collect! Fantastic! And under £15... bargain (relative!).
