i have a major problem with the passenger seat. whenever anyone sits in the seat and i go over a bump it starts squeaking very badly. is this a faulty seat or just a lever or something. sometimes happens when they get out aswell particularly is they are large!!

any ideas on the prob.

Dealers have some lubricant spray that seems to do the trick nicely. I had the same with my original Cooper. Drives you nuts doesn't it!

I had a similar problem with my drivers seat. I t turns out the squeak was the back of the seat rubbing up against the backseat (leather). I nudged my seat forward just a shade.

I've had this problem a couple of times. On the latest occasion my dealer replaced the seat base under warranty and now I'm squeak free. Well almost - still got the door seal rattle/buzz and a squeak from somwhere in the back - aahh the joy of MINI
