I have search the forums for this problem and it looked like it was just a simple reconnect the bar from the side panels.
The bars are connected either end and lift up and down properly.

The seat moves forward and backwards using the lever underneath on its own.
The back bit has reclined forward when the side levers are lifted, but the seat won't move forward and back on its runners, like the drivers side does when the side levers are raised.
When I let go of the side levers the back bit wont recline back to its original position, its jammed (if you were looking at the seat from the side of the car, its locked at 11 o'clock).

Can anyone shed any light on this as I can't take any passengers up front.

Fixed.
Somehow the the electrics on the seat pulled the recliner fully forward.
After some messing about used the electric buttons to put the recliner back in its normal position.

Simples.
