Just went to look under my rear seats & they won't lift up.

Does the rear part not come up so you can put your seats flat??

And my right hand handle doesn't work to put the rear seat down!

my rear seat can be quite tough to get out
kneel on it and push it back then try to lift it up, this normally works for me.

when i got my car the handle didnt work for one of my seats so took it back to the guy and he replaced it. once he got the part from ford it took only about half an hour to replace

I'll give that a try.

Both my front handles didn't work. The garage where I got the car from had to get a guy in to fix them because they couldn't do it. It's gotta go back to the garage soon because the power steering pump has gone and there fixing it. There gonna do the back handle at the same time.

Just out of interest you say your power steering pump is gone? Does it not work at all or does it whine alot? Im not sure if mine needs replacing or not... :/

First of all there was a sound coming from near the left wheel. I took it back to the garage & they told me it was the power steering pump. Since I've got it back from them (unrepaired) the sounds a bit worse.

If I'm standing still & put the steering wheel to the left or right you can hear a whineing noise.

It's still drivable tho.

That shows it's gone. Mine went after 30,000 miles and it sounded horrible when you were just sitiing there and just turning the wheel round.
