Cant tilt seat forwards so having problems putting daughter in back. Any advice on how to fix.

Most likely the handle that operates the seat back release has broken inside, it can be fixed DIY ,or check out clube31.net for indepth instructions

This is worth a view, there is a pdf which explains the whole procedure, a very easy fix.

This is a small technical article I wrote a couple of years ago. It is a very simple procedure and I recommend it is done on both seats ANYWAY, before it breaks. I consider it essential because should you be involved in an accident with passengers in the rear of the car and then the handle breaks, your passengers will be trapped in the vehicle.

Here is the direct link to the repair;

PS, the cables shown in the pics going into the headrests are for the LCD screens so you will not have them.
