Passenger Seat Release Handle Snapped

[AS_BO]

Does anyone know if the release handle to flip the seat forward on a Ph2 VTR can be replaced or is it a new seat? I was cleaning the car yesterday and I snapped the handle off! Bit heavy handed............

Scrap yard job or sometimes people give them away.

Just swap the seat covers and happy days.

Cheers fella,

Just noticed you're in the North East and you have a CHARADE GTti!!!!! I love them crazy rice rockets!!! My mate had a black one years ago running about 160 BHP and it was lunatic! need to arrange a meet up mate and bring the 3 banger, I haven't seen a good one of those in about 10 years!

It's been garaged up for years and years, I keep meaning to sort it out but I've never got around to it. It's on a J plate and I've owned it for 15 years, the engine went so I bought a donor car, put the engine in and left it.

In its prime it was a fun car I think it would make a good track car but I'm scared to look underneath to see what it's like. Going on the reputation and experience it'll be rotten.

Aye you're probably right to be fair, my mates got brand new rear arches and sills back then and it was immaculate............... until he had an accident in it which crushed it like a coke can. Shame really, would be keen to come and have a look at it though.

The wheel arches were rottin and I had the done a couple of years after I had it. Apart from the donor car I had I only ever seen one other around here and that was E reg one in white and it was rough.

Hopefully I'll get my lump through off the army soon so I might consider throwing some money at it. I've never looked into parts, but I image there going to be a nightmare to get a hold of things.

yeah that sounds about right, always rot around there! I know of the white one too, it was quite rough like. I did alot of work on my friends in the past and found Camskill to be really useful for parts.
