Right First is i think a simple one.....

Am i right to say the rear seats only drop in the middle???

Second my centre rest seems stiff/locked solid.... Am i doing something wrong in pulling it down????

Finally the passenger door seems to not fully lift the lock. Its intermitant but it opens nearly up but not fully and needs manual intervention... whats the likely cause???

1) Need someone with experience of the VT/VX Commie. I've never had to moved the back seats in one.

2)Try supporting the armrest from below, while teasing it open. If not used the mechanism can stiffen up and when trying to open it, it while flex and lock up. Same will happen if it's been forced!

3) Do you mean the lock pin or the door lock itself?
So many possilble causes - dirt, bent rod or tie, dried up, sticking solenoid...

Hi Ya
Right mu old car VT11 Gts-r centre did come down on seat (bigger than VXR8 does)

Centre arm rest was as tough as old boots to get down, had to wedge fingers into top to get behind and pull down, and then try and lift up from underneath, definate case of never used much in the years prior to my ownership, did become easier with use.

Dear behold81,

your door issue - I'd plump for the motor. They fail often enough for them to be one of Monkfish's stock items,
