    Tilt mechanism yes - there is a cable and a repair thread I did a while ago.

    Switches - best thing is to find a complete front seat set and replace them with a manual set up. The motors are too slow anyway, particularly if you put people in the back regularly.

    I can plug VIDA in and it would probably tell me what the problem is. I am in Telford. I can also show you on an old seat where the cable is for the tilt.

    As promised. The Y shaped cable locates into the seat frame back and like a bicycle brake caliper operates the lever.
