The mechanical seat release lever (in the glove box) doesn't operate / release the seat catch. Where and how do you start looking for the problem?

The electric release is okay - but after reading about dodgy contats, etc., I thought I'd better attend to the back-up solution - before I get stuck

19 July
It's sorted now.
Thanks and all the best, Ian

Sorry folks,
I was pulling on the wrong lever.

"Plonker!" Yes, I heard you.

Cheers, Ian

Sometimes mechanical lever does not worK. It exists a tip to open the seat without keys (electrical opening or mechanical) but tis really difficult to explain.
Sorry, I'ill try to explain you with pictures but I don't think it's a good idea...
