D4 arm rest

Hey guys. Just got myself a D4 on Monday and have noticed there is a problem with the drivers armrest.

So if I fix it in the position I want, say 90’, when I put a little weight on it the knob loosens off and it droops back down. Is this something I could fix do you recon? (If so any ideas please £
Haha). And if not, would a replacement armrest sort? Or is it the chair mechanism?

Thank you

My last D4 had the same issue,.

Unfortunetly, from what I can remember this is damage to the seat itself..

I think people have repaired them, but means stripping and welding the seat frame..

Sorry for the bad news..

I think it's due to putting too much weight on it and damaged the frame.. Disco4 MY16 SDV6 Landmark Black

Oh man! Thank you for the feedback. I’ve adjusted my seat a bit and surprisingly the only steady setting isn’t too bad now.

Thank you! It’s a weird one, theres nothing to see really. Just the knob untightens itself when I apply a bit of weight (i.e my arm with some weight) onto it.

Maybe its worth an arm swop? 🤷🏻‍♀️
