TDV8 HSE - Drivers seat movement

Anyone know anything about the drivers seat moving in a TDV8 HSE? The seat does the auto-position thing when I put the key in, which is great, and it feels solid but, when driving, there's a noticable movement in the seat (slight back and forth) when accelerating or braking. Is this normal?? Nothing seems loose in the seat and I dont want to march back to the dealer if it's normal (and look a plank)??

Car is a MY08 on an 08 plate.

Cheers, Colin

Think i need to send the car in for this because a few of my passengers have complained Big Cry, I put it down to the torque before but the driver seat doesnt do the same. Im too light to make either of them move Laughing Laughing .

I get the same movement. Went into dealer who said they tighten everything up but I am starting the feel it move again.

It feels like the mechanical parts that move the seat electrically have a slight play.

Let me/us know what happened after you took it back to the dealer. Rob

My driver seat also has a small "play" and I only have the torque of a TDV6!

I will get it looked at during the first service. I don't think its unique to the RRS, I had similar with a P38 a few years ago. It feels like the seat needs to have a shim or two fitted. 2008 RRS TDV6 Stornoway & Ebony

Did you ever get this sorted. Mine does the same and I want to tell my LD what the issue was so I can get it sorted.
