It's obvious if you look under the seat. In the middle of the motor is a square hole that the square end of the crank fits. If the motor dies, the theory is that you can wind your seat forwards/backwards in an emergency. In practice you could have walked to where you're going by the time you've moved the seat with the handle.  Grin Grin Grin

Why do they get lost, do they not have a 'place' on a new car?

I've got two of those but the home made one made from an old junior hacksaw is way better, you can fix it in a drill which moves the seat quite quickly Wink

Thinking about it, I have a set of screw driver bits with a range of square bits in it, wonder if one of those fits.... 

Must admit I wondered what on earth a square bit would be used for.  Roll Eyes
