Oh boy this is another good one we have discussed. It is the lever, every time you get in or out you catch the lever and it lowers your seat. You are not shrinking, it is the lousy 1984 Ford Granada seat they put in. Very Happy

You will find that every time you get in and out of the car you are knocking the height adjustment lever.
It happens to all of us poor people.
BN has posted a "fix" somewhere.
 Zermatt silver 06 reg.

Gone but not forgotten !!!

You can always speak to his potential customers and tell them why you are in the showroom with your overhauls on?

I get this aswell, thought that was going nuts or getting shorter. Have to say that I don't appear to be hitting the lever when getting in or out. Maybe it is the wife.

Car now averaging 15.9 mpg (TDV6) since the cold snap and a constant diet of school runs and shopping. Average speed 8 mph. Doh!
