Depends what's broken.  :confused:

Does it not fold forward at all? There's a common problem with the slide mech which is a relatively easy fix and costs pence for the replacement part. Here's a link for the "How to" to fix it......

Its broken, its a 3dr and has to have folding, tilting seats for entrance/exit for the rear passengers. :confused:

Both of mine fold, which I assume is the same for you?

Only my drivers side slides forward too though, the easy access option or something?

I'd also like to know what is required to get my passenger side to not only fold (which it already does), but also slide forward?

If it doesn't tilt n slide it's broken. The link provided by MC71 will do the trick.
