Try moving the seat back and forth if its seized solid then it will probably need rplacing but if there is movement in it then its likely to be a coin or something small
i found a wine gum in mine years ago, stopped the sliders from working - tasted alright aswell once i'd rescued it off the tracks

lol, thanks
just wondering, if its something not quite so easy would the runner and seat both need replacing?

have a look if the bar you lift to slide the seat back and foward is still cliped in on both sides underneath, mine poped out it just clips back in

Sub frames is the sliding mechanism
they unbolt from both the chassis and the seat - as far as i am aware all corsas use the same subframes

spray some wd40 on it, it might just need a bit of lubrication

each side has like 40 possitions to slid to
if they becomes out of sync it wont slide
might need to move one side a few places for it to become parallel
look underneath and it will become clear

in any case its not a hard job to change a seat/seat base. plenty of sport interiors around.
