Hi all,

I moved my drivers seat forward yesterday, and it developed a mind of its own and also moved downwards. Now the only movement I have is forward and back, with both the height and rake inoperative. The memory function also seems to do strange things, certainly not what they were set to!

I've tried a battery off reset with no change. I can't drive the car now as the seat is way too low, and the rake too far back.....I'd have to hang onto the steering wheel in order to be able to see out of the windscreen!

Unlikely to be a fuse, as the forward and back motor works fine?

New ECU needed? Does anyone have one spare please?

I don't need the car at the moment, so I can wait a while for a fix, but advice is welcomed!
