Default Few issues, help please!

First of all the passenger seat won't fold forward with the handle thing, worked before so any ideas?

Also there seems to be a 'sloshing' sound coming from the right hand side? There looks to be a little gap between the side skirt and body, and there has been alot of rain last few days so im thinking maybe the side skirt has just filled with water? Anyone else had this?

Any help would be great! Thanks.

hi mate, seat tilt handle broken i expect, very common problem with the st, mite need cables aswell but you may be lucky and just need the handle, the sloshing sound ur getting is probably inside the door, full up with water, the drain holes in the bottom of the door block up with crap and the door fills with water, just get a small flat blade screw driver or something and look on the very bottom edge of the door on the inside, find two drain holes one front one back, poke the screw driver in the holes and get ready for the waterfall out the door! hope this helps.

My first thought was that is was the drain holes ill have a look in the morning.

Didn't know they were a common problem the handles ill see if i can get a new one for a reasonable price.

Thanks mate!
