Hi all,

Just thought i'd share some info regarding the seat base of the seats in a Corsa SXi.

Bought an '05 plate for the misses recently and only after a couple of drives realised that the sponge in the side bolsters on the seat base had worn. The bars inside had cut through the sponge pad and you could feel them dig into the leg, especially when getting in and out of the car. A few of my mates have bought SXi's and they are suffering with the same issue. After talking with one of the mechanics at my local Vauxhall dealer he told me that this is a known defect and can be repaired under warranty if under 3 years old (approx £200 if you pay).

We picked up my wife's car this afternoon after the seats had been repaired and they are great.

Thought i'd post this in case anyone else is suffering this seat issue and that if the mechanic hadn't mentiond it i'd never have thought of seeing if it could be repaired.

If this already a widely known issue please ignore thumbup
