Had the same problem with our Beauford earlier this year! It has electrically operated front seats and to get through IVA the fore and aft movement of the driver's seat has to be inhibited such that it can only be moved with the car stationary, the handbrake on and an override button held in on the side of the seat. The tester had never heard of this! Surely other cars with electrically operated seats must have the same constraint?

Dear All, Thought you might want to hear this. 2+2 failed the MOT due to the drivers seat not moving as required. I checked it and it seemed OK, so I just lub'ed it and realised that the 80's Ford mechanism has a sideways movement to a handle while many other cars have a vertical movement of a bar to release. So on retest I stressed the sideways movement. In the end the tester was good enough to say he made a mistake and was moving the handle the wrong way all the time! Still no extra cost. Cheers and Happy Christmas All. Just got the reworked Bronze Coupe (now called TALOS) back from Eddie, so looking forward to playing ......
