Beach Swivel Seats

[KAP0902]

Hi,
Still looking for a Beach or Ocean, looked at a 66 plate Beach (Manual) at a VW commercial dealer. Questions I have if someone could enlighten me please are:
1. The guy showing me the swivel on drivers seat had to put it in a gear after releasing the hand brake to get the seat to turn 180. Is this normal ?
2. Is this the same on the Ocean?
3. If this is the case has it been rectified on later models?

Thank you
Keith

1. Yes - just stops it from rolling whilst handbrake is off, you can put the handbrake back on after you have spun the seat - or just leave it in gear if manual.
2. Yes
3. No - VW never make improvements, they just increase the price each year instead.
