New to us Largo Highway Star

Hi there

Bought an N-reg Largo HS, 2L diesel two weeks ago. We're based in Bamber Bridge, Lancashire.

We're finding it great to drive, but first automatic for both of us so both re-learning how to drive one-footed. Going to have to get the speedometer face changed to be MPH (my mental arithmetic isn't too good) and need someone to look at a few minor things.

Noticed one problem we'd love to get sorted: the middle row of seats. We can get them to drop forward and twist a little for rear-row access, but don't seem to be able to get them to turn round to face backwards (I've also read they can be locked to face the sliding side door?). Assume the seats need to be slid right to the back and then folded forwards; we then pull the handle at their front (marked with arrows suggesting turning them around) but only turns to the same point as the rear-row access allows. Seems something is stopping it, or the handle at the front is not fitted to anything. Are we doing something wrong or is it something needing replacing/fixing?

Cheers for any help!

Sounds like you need to have a look under seat. May have been fitted wrong. Welcome to the forum.

There are two handles under the seats ;) and the seat nearest the door needs to be folder forward.

Like NRG said it could be fitted wrong. I believe that the seats need to be tilted forward 1st before pulling this handle. But check out what it should be doing underneath.

Thanks guys for the welcome and advice.

Yeah, looks like the mechanism isn't working then, will have to have a really good look underneath and see what's wrong.

doesn't the middle row need to be slid fully forward before rotation? can't remember offhand as been a while since I last twirled mine!

Hi guys

After a few months leaving the seat as is, a chance encounter between my foot and the seat allowed it to spin. I can only assume we have been trying to spin it the 'wrong way round'. The seat spins anti-clockwise to face outwards to the side-door (position A) and then fully reversed (position B) then can be spun back clockwise to face the front (C).

Never owned such a surprising little vehicle. Also noticed recently that on indicating, side lights light up to show the corner you're turning into!

Cheers for help guys.

Ah yes it swing clockwise to get in the back easier and anticlock to rotate lol. I find the seating more versatile that a Vauxhall zafira lol with more leg room too.

There called sidewalk lights so when you replace the sidelight bulbs remember to get stop/tail light bulbs.
