I'm looking at buying a Discovery 2 ES spec, it's a rhd on Spanish plates. Nice rust free example.
The problem is being very tall I could do with a bit more movement on the drivers seat. Is there any extension kits available.
The ITV (mot) is very tight on modifications in Spain so fabricating something probably isn't going to pass an ITV.

It is said that if you reverse the seat rails you get further rearwards movement. Don't knw have never needed to do it as am a runty 5'9" but here is another way of doing it.
Best of luck!

(PS, if neither of these suit don't give up on searching, I found loads of other sites on this topic.)

Best of luck with reversing the rails to give more room with electric seats,
Try raising the squab to its highest point which give you an extra inch or so.

Oh yes, didn't spot it was an ES, mind you I'd willingly give up the electric seats to get more comfort.
Anyway the link i put up was to one made by a guy with electric seats so OP has a solution now, if he choses to use it!

Wonder if he could reverse the rails and swap sides so the nearside set become the offside. As have no an ES do not know if any of this is poss at all, but it is certainly summat I'd look at unless OPs partner is too short to make it feasible., even if it is at all feasible. And of course all the switching would need swapping too, "Hmm! Interesting"
