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

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
