The driver seat on my 08 Octavia is stuck in lowest position. It seems that there is something broken in the mechanism (rather than it just being jammed). Is this a common issue with the older octavias? Would it be reasonably easy to fix, or do I just need to go out and get another seat?

I've never heard of this, take it to bits and you'll see what's what.

Thanks, will give it a go!
