How difficult is it to strip the seat cover to get at the mechanism?
Might be worth an hour of your time to remove the seat from the car and flip it over and have a look from different angles. Also speak to the stealership parts dept - this could be a common problem/fix.

cheers yes we have taken the seat out and had a look at it and there is a metal piece missing/ broke off so we know the fault but not sure if that part is a replaceable part , cheers for the comments

The Recaro bucket versions can be stripped right down to the metal frame. So I guess its possible (with care) to do the same with the standard seats.
Which bit is broke? The rake adjustment for the seat back or the sliding runners on the base? IIRC the latter just unbolts from the bottom of the seat.

If you can strip the seat around the broken part maybe it can be welded/riveted back on?
