Hi everyone - I have a mark 1 (1994) Twingo, the original kind which wasn't sold in the UK.
The driver's seatback angle adjustment lever is not fitted (though I have it) because there appears to be a missing part. The lever has a square hole, but the rod coming out of the seat is round (and splined). From research on this site it appears that there is supposed to be a kind of peg which slides over the splined rod and is square in shape. The lever then clips onto this peg.
It seems that the same mechanism is used in the Clio mk2, possibly the Clio mk1, and maybe the mk 1 Kangoo and Megane.
I have been searching online for months for this part but can't find it. Is the only solution a seat from a scrapyard (and if so can anyone confirm which other Renaults might use this arrangement, as I'm clearly not going to find a mk 1 Twingo in a scrapyard here!)
Many thanks!
