Can anyone tell me if the seats in the FFRR would fit into MY10 RRS??? I just cannot get comfortable in my car at all which is a shame really because in every other respect I think its fantastic... but having had a 24 hour demo in the FFRR I found the seats to be so much more comfortable for longer journeys..I have looked at trading in for the FFRR but as my car is so new I am getting crucified on the trade in value just now and realistically need to wait at least another 6 months before values level out...Problem is.. not sure if my aches and pains can!! Any advice would welcome

Anything is possible but I would guess it would:

a. cost a small fortune
b. grossly affect re-sale value, your insurance and warranty

Not necessarily.

Invite Angel for dinner.
Get him drunk.
Once he passes out, swap the seats.

I estimate about 200 pounds in food and alcohol total costs.....

I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

better buy them somewhere else - 200 wont be enough for the dinner!

Hi lespes..I can see that working on the D3 as it shares the same platform as the RRS..my gut feeling is that the FFRR seats may be too wide to fit the RRS..having said that I may be wrong????

and to high !

Never thought about that

One problem would be that the FFRR is wider inside than the RRS, and the FFRR doesn't have the "cocooning" driving position with the raised transmission tunnel that RRS has that limits the width of the seating areas in the front. Also there would be problems with all the airbags.

Jim a visit to a Land Rover Scrappy might be worth a try - there is a specialist near you according to this link!

Cheers Tim...will check the site out...I have a funny feeling like you that the internal dimensions will make any modification very difficult

have you though about trying another brand like a Volvo seat or a SAAB seat or even a Recaro -they are always highly rated for comfort and support in all the right places. You just have top make sure that keep the original RRS seat for when you want to sell the car 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Could be worth considering...providing it didn't require major surgery to the car to make it fit which in turn could make the car "unsellable".....Fiona suggested I should forget the RRS and go for this!!!!!

What about fitting Disco seats

I prefer the Disco seats, seem a lot more comfy for me and less hassle in setting up than RRS ones, took months before finding right settings on RRS before locking it in the memory.

Had Disco 4 other week seats took very comfy only couple of mins and all set up, just like I find the FFRR to use.

Funny you should say that...was speaking to a neighbour of mine the other day who has a D4 and he was saying that he felt the seats were way better than his previous D3...i thought that they would be the same seats as the RRS
