Yeah i fell for ebay specials haha

Probably does just need new clips tbh
Top ones hold fine

Only down side to the whole thing is you have to open it slower than with the prop stick bit

Do the seats tilt forward to allow you in the back? I spotted a mint set of those on Gumtree for £150 the other day. I thought it'd be worth a gamble either way as they normally sell for £400, but I just couldn't be bothered at the time :roll: :lol:

They are the turn... reclined... things lol

Has a little knob on the side (innuendo i know) that you twist instead of the tilt handle

That plus leg room in the back is a little less as the seats seem to have a bigger back, so leg room which was already small enough as it is... now mostly gone lol
