I have a Nissan Micra 52 plate with two straps that you pull in order to fold the back seat down. BUT...when I pull, it doesn't move. It seems to be totally jammed. I have never managed to fold the seat down all the time I've had it but I'm now moving house and so its ESSENTIAL that I work out how to do it! Is it likely that its just stiff and I'm being a weakling?? Or is there a secret lever that I've overlooked?

Im going to try to do this today. My front two seats lost their reclining and sliding functionality but I fixed those by opening up the rear of the seat and fixing the clutch wires to both sides of the available slot and then attaching the plastic cover to the lever. its not too diffcult you just need to push the plastic hook till it clicks and then use the lever with caution in order to not knock it out again.

i have the same problem, and yes it is just a stiff mechanism. you seem to have to pull both the tabs at the same time, which is difficult if you are, like me, tiny and a weakling! if you get a strong person to do it a few times for you it should loosen up a bit :)
