Seats Seats Glorious Seats

G'Day all.

Out with the hardtop 110 and in with the TD5 CSW.....(1999)

Its currently in standard 11 seater format, 2-3-6 configuration.

My Plan is to get the second row replaced with high backed seats of some kind and source a couple forward facing seats for the back. I have 4 kids and the low backed, bench option scares me!!

My question is, other then XS and Puma (£££££££) options. Has anyone on here done anything a bit different. i.e. would a Front set fit on the second row? Is there another car's seats that I could look at etc etc?

Ideally I will keep a lookout and find some decent priced XS options, but at the moment these seem to be in very high demand and cost a bomb!!

Thanks, Mike

hi mike.
have you been in touch with sams4x4
she does seats. i use her all the time.
got numbers if needed

+1 on sams trim. I have used her several times (errrr for seats!) and its always been a great service from her. She is a great laugh too

not sure if she would be able to sort your load area seat woes but for high back seats for the 2nd row im sure she could sort you out.

Thanks Guys. No I haven't - pls do PM me the numbers!

Never mind - found her, will call her in the morning

fyi for anyone else

sams trim and spares

I've these in mine. Off getting retrimed at the moment while I make up the new center console to go between them

What have you got there - I see the front are Recaro - are those fronts in the second row?

If you're getting rid of the rear benches, I reckon you're better with rear-facing seats back there rather than forward-facing. There's not much space to squeeze between two forward-facing seats to get in and out, but with rear-facing you can just jump straight in, plus they're safer in an accident. Only downside is that the rearmost passengers have to ride backwards.

Fronts complete with comfy armrests lol .. gttin old

rears again with full armrests and 6" lower than normal defender seats so passengers can see through the window rather than through the alpine lights

still retain the ability to 60/40 split and tilt fully forward

standard 3 points fit perfectly

centre armrest folded away and lap belt means it easily seats 3...

bit of arch modding required but fit is very good... almost made for the job

i am currently trying to value my high back 2nd row seats, with the fronts, all frames, runners etc.

I am taking mine out and fittign seats from a vw passat. the fronts are much more bucket like and the high back, split foldign rears will be far better for my two girls and the dog.

However now seeing the rear seats posted by DaveM-sport, cant help but think im making a mistake and should have gone down the front seats in the back route.

I am sure its just a case of having frames made.

Looks good - but what seats are they?

if u mean mine they are rangerover classic, hence the right width for the 110 lol... may keep an eye out for leather n electric at some point but the teddy bear trim is very hardwearing

cheers steve

cheers steve

right - done....

Just bought these bad boys....

Lets see how long it takes me to fit them!

bloody hell good buy :0

pic i posted earlier shows the rear mod to get it to fit low... some folks have fitted at normal height with no seat box mod but i wanted passengers to be able to see out the window not the alpine light...

the fronts are easy just drill n fit rivnuts and bolt in

rears ... trim..
