Swapping my rear 2 seats for 3 seats

hi everyone,

I have an petrol 3dr 03 freelander with 2 rear seats. I want to get a new rear seat set with 3 seats.
I’ve found these back plus bottom seat on eBay. Would anyone be able to tell me if they will fit in my freelander?

You'll need seats from a 3 door. However you'll also need to inform the DVLA and the insurance company, as I believe a change of seating plan needs an inspection.

Thanks. Does anyone on here sell parts like that?

I love that name "im-going-to-kick-my-car"

Don't let @Hippo hear you say that though

Got a couple of spare 3 door F1s with black cloth seats. Rear has 3 seat belts. PM me if it helps you.

That’s the thing about the freelander. I love it- it’s never broken down and starts every time. But the things that go wrong are so.... ARGH!!
Last month my exhaust blew- fair enough. I expected to pay out to have it fixed. But what I hadn’t expected was to replace the oxygen sensor that MELTED to the exhaust too. On a positive note, at least I worked out why my car smelt like fire after a long drive...
So, Freelanders. Brilliant, reliable work horses... but she is trying. What’s that about leading a horse to water..?

Freelander's are brilliant. They dun't just have normal faults. They have propper hard ones anorl which turn out to be fun. It's because yer Freelander wants to spend more time with yer.

I have had my TD4 2006 for 8 years now, and the only issues have been clutch renewed twice and a couple of window cables.
It has been one of the most reliable cars I have ever had.

Freelanders rule

Ive had mine about 4 years. had my clutch replaced too. But other than that not much else. Just wear and tear.
I do love my freelander- keeps me on my toes!

As Nodge said, DVLA may not allow 3 rear passengers by design, because of the lift off roof.

The hard-back was available a 3 seater rear bench. However those would have been registered as a 5 seat vehicle, not 4. IIRC a change of seating plan to a vehicle, requires a new compliance certificate to be issued.
