Land Rover Part Number: HJN10005PUY - Seat Back Adjuster
HJN10005PUY is a Seat Back Adjuster. This handwheel-style recline mechanism is fitted to the front seat back assembly on Freelander models and adjusts the angle of the seat back within the seat frame. The rotatable handwheel engages internal gearing to convert rotary input into controlled, incremental movement of the backrest pivot; the unit interfaces with the seat back trim and internal linkages and holds the chosen position under load. Replacement is typically required where the handwheel or internal gearing becomes worn, damaged or detached, causing loss of ratchet engagement or slippage. When refitting, align the mechanism with the seat back pivot points and check for smooth operation across the full travel of the backrest. The part is specific to front seat configurations and should be matched to the seat trim and VIN variants listed below before purchase or installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
The HJN10005PUY gives manual control of the front seat back angle via a handwheel that drives internal ratchet/gearing to move the backrest pivot. Common failure modes are worn or damaged handwheel teeth or internal gears and detachment, which lead to loss of ratchet engagement or slippage under load. During installation ensure the mechanism is aligned with the seat back pivot points and verify smooth, full-travel operation.
