Hi
My land rover started as a commercial and I've converted mine, by installing the 60,40 seats, make sure you get the floor bars where the rear seats clip into
Also the rear seat belts fit into a bracket behind the side panels, I had to get mine welded in
It will take a little while to adjust the seats so that they lift up and then click down properly into the floor bars
I also put side windows and all the rear side panels etc
Takes a while to do but just take your time to get them set up correctly
If you get atuck there are plenty of people who have done this and will always help
Hope you get on ok , I managed to get a complete interior, seats etc the lot for 500 this was a couple of years ago
One thing is if you take the seats out yourself make sure you pick up every bolt etc that you can

I assume you've had to re-register your car with DVLA to change its category from Commercial to PLG because of this?
Was that straightforward?
Hi
Yep sorry meant to say about that, thanks for pulling me up as I know your insurance would be void if you didn't inform them
As I had to get the brackets welded in by a local company, I also at the same time got a mot done to prove that it was done properly and also ensure if the insurance company moaned and couldn't say it wasn't done correctly
I then done a photcopy of my mot filled in the slterations on the bottom of my log book and sent it off
Just put in there 5 seats and that was that
Also informed my insurance company, wanted pictures sent and a copy of my mot cert
Had no probs and I think it added about 50 -60 to my premium , sorry can't remember as it was at least 18 months ago
I found the freelander drove and sat better on the road with the extra weight of the seats
