Seats won't lift

Been trying to get to the engine bay to check oil level and wanted to give it a service next weekend but no matter what I try I cannot get the seats to tilt away from the floor either forward or back?

Re: Fridge

In the front cab there is a 12v tester which was on 100% while driving as soon as I'd camped up it was on the second bottom light so I'm guessing the problem lays with the leisure battery which maybe has enough juice to turn the little LED lights and the water pump but to enough for the fridge?

Looks like they need a bit of ...

Fridge

First weekend away in the bongo and had a bit of an issue with the fridge, according to the notes I got with the van the fridge runs of 12v or 240v if plugged in. It also says the switch over to 12v battery is automatic? Anyway arrived at site and as it didn't have electric hook up we turned the fri...
