So I assume the TD5 seat rail pitch is the same as a Tdi or V8 then (I think the seats are interchangeable)?

I still like the idea of Puma/RX8 seats but want to see what the Audi ones give me now I got them @lightning - Are the Puma seats on the same centres (about 44cm) or do they neet a bracket making up for pre-puma? These are the seats I got (headrest removed) the marks oon the leather are just...

The (main) reason I like the Audi seats is that they come out of a 3-door so they flip forward and slide a long way forwards - I need to play with the layout but I think I'll be able to access under the seats [relatively] easy. The other reason is because they have a really simple flat rail...

I have just measured the rails on the A1 seat rails and they are centred on 47cm whereas the existing seat rail bolts are centred on 44cm so it shouldnt be too dificult to adjust the mountings to give me that 1.5cm extra each side. They are nice and compact so they should go in OK I'll post...

Hi @v8250 I might end up going that RX8 way in the end but I think that I'll try the A1 seats first as they are local and new if they dont work I'll post why and probably put them in the back. I am concerned they'll bee too small for my height/width. But did you get electric RX8s and do they...

It never had one - I'll try and get photos Loving the Puma seats they look well comfy and the trick with the washers (but I dont think thats needed on mine - need to remind myself - I might be lying (I mean mis-remembering)) !! In the meantime I've managed to get some Audi A1 S-Line seats...

I had heard RX7/RX8 seats work (but they seem to be in limited supply and reasonably expensive) and was thinking along the lines of a smaller car like a sports or small hatchback (Polo GTI maybe) - good point about the under seat access maybe the 3 door versions would be better if they flip...

Mine is ex-MoD V8 so has the stupid flip up/down half back seats - but it actually didnt come with any at all - so they need to be replaced with something so just looking for advice - as per Duke851 and yourself and from my own experience, getting something that works is tricky. I am 6ft2in plus...

Thanks - thats pretty useful as I thought someone had said they'd used saab seats I have been looking on line and the point you've made about the height under the legs could be an issue for accomodating tall and short people so I have been looking att he BMW ones that have a decent rise/fall...

Hi - Im sure someone would have gone through this already (so please refer to threads) but I am looking for some decent seats for my 110 that I can fit to give me a bit of comfort but ideally some electric memory leather seats - I loved the seats in my 2009 RRS but I would expect they need the...

Thanks Jamesmartin would you like to pm me with estimated costs please? CC

Firstly jamesmartin thanks for the feedback. Exactly what I was after! Really haven't decided to stretch the current 3.5V8 or go for a 3.9 or 4.0 maybe 4.6 but the double bolted crank appeals if the loss of dizzy and conversation to electronic ignition is a pain. I think I'll get the block...

Hi I am embarking on a ground up rebuild of a Ex-MoD 110 V8 For a number of reasons I'm keen to use an auto box and have a newish ZF 4HP 22 I am also looking to use rear discs because of an increased BHP output (target 250-300 ish) So I have acquired an ex-Wolf rear Salisbury with discs, and...

Nice I would like a 6x6 but don't have the time to build one or money to buy one :-(

I Live near Hitchin and have a 110 and hope to spend some time making it nicer !
