Kind of stupid this

But on the 09 sport I can't get the seat back far enough to stretch my legs. With it as far back as it'll go I'm still to close to the wheel.
When I had the l322 a few years ago I was fine in it but not this. I'm wondering if there's something jammed in the runners (haven't looked) or if it's the way they are.
I'm not tall ie about 5 10 but like to sit quite far back and can't in this.
Is there anything I can do.

I assume you have the adjustable steering column fully retracted to the dash, slightly taller than you and never had a issue.

Only issue I have is when the rear seats are folded down flat. Little room then

I'm 6ft and don't have a problem. Maybe check the runners for something blocking the motion. Also, as Col suggests, is the wheel retracted towards the dash? That has a good bit of movement in it. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Yes the wheel's in a far as it'll go, it's probably me I just like to stretch my legs.

I have long legs. and even I don't have the seat all the way back.

Obvious thing is to check the driver and passenger seats go back the same amount, by checking if they line up in the rear.

I'm thinking its a facelift thing

I think it's the same but will check later. It's just odd that in the l322 i was fine as i said above but not in this.

Have you tried a lot more seat height and adjust the tilt to suit? Pete

Sound like some thing is not right. I have a 2013 L320 and I'm 6' 1" with loads of leg space and seat nowhere near fully back.

As said above how does it compare to the passenger seat movement.

Probably is but don't know where as I've not liked yet, hopefully later today. If that's the way it is with this though (stupid as i sounds) I'll either go back to an l322 or stick to an ordinary car.

they are better than ordinary cars, as in those your legs would be out stretched.

As your legs have to dangle down in a RR (knee at right angle), it gives loads more room for legs

If you lower the seat it drops down and back giving a fair bit of extra space. I'm 6'3" and built like a brick sh...... you get the idea but still have room.

With the back seats flat for luggage yes you are restricted with how far
back the driver and passenger seats will go due to the back seats being
in the way, if you have the same issue with seats all in the upright position
then there is an issue... ===========================================
