Driver's Seat twisted in track

My driver's seat base has stopped forward/backwards. All other functions work fine. The motor tries to turn (I can see and hear it moving) but immediately shuts off. Thinking that something may have got stuck in the runners and having a good look around, I noticed that the seat isn't sitting square in the runners. It must be about 1cm further forward one side.

Anyone know an easy way of fixing this? Maybe winding one side to try and even it up again? I'm worried why it may have done it in the first place and hoping nothing's been stripped in the mechanism.

Any help appreciated.

2009 Disco 3 HSE.

Cheers in advance

lol - joined ages ago, just never needed to ask anything until now.

awesome - I'll take a look at report back!

I had the seat rock on the passenger seat a few years and the dealer sorted this for me.

Never thought it could provide a solution for this

Thanks Thumbs Up

OK, mixed results. Managed to get the seat squared up following the instructions. Put it all back together and I can't have had the flexi shaft lined up properly, the cable is a bit chewed on the end and doesnt feel like is going home like it should:



Any ideas on next steps?

Cheers

Anyone been able to buy one of these shafts on its own? I guess I could be getting one from a breaking vehicle...?
