Nice car - I had a look on my driver's seat and can see why they break. If you lean on the seat while adjusting it, it binds on the frame and snaps. Point is, lean forward when adjusting it!
I own a 1.4Si and after hiring a 1.25, I found that the build quality is better on the 1.4, especially if you've got the EW, CL, and tailgate release pack - strange. The performance is so much better and the fuel economy the same, so I would recommend getting a 1.4 if you are buying second hand.
