on closer inspection, the noise comes from where the seat back sits against the body.
I dont think its the seat catch, as i lubed that.

Got rid of sqeak by putting small piece of card between seat back and body(temp repair til I can find time to take it to Mini!!) Hope this helps

will give it a go....... Thanks for passing on your research... probably better to pack out with cardboard as it shows you are fed up

I can live with the squeak, it's the passengers who are a nuisance holding their hands over their ears, blocks visibility

due for a first service soon and that squeak is on the list - which isn't too long
