I've had a look at it, but there is nothing obvious (apart from a screw

either a spring or gas strut I would think.

Thanks for the various replies (and the promptness), I think you've
confirmed my diagnosis. *The chair is one that I use at home, so

If its lost its gas, presumably its ok to drill through the lot and
put a bolt in, fixing it at one height.
