Hi

Trivial on the scale of it but my RRS has a different design to the rear middle seat design to the configurator (and my L405) with an adjustable headrest...have I spotted something new?

Mine:

Bottom picture is split fold rear seats with load through ?

Mine looks like the bottom picture

yes. with load through it is like the bottom picture with the greater looking armrest and integrated headrest.
the top version with the adjustable headrest is for all without load-through until 2013...

Mine is also like the configurator pic as I ordered load through rear seats. Dealer told me this option not only gets you "load though" but also better armrest. There are cup holders and a small storage compartment when you fold the armrest down (although I am not sure if that is the same without load through). Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Oh god, just when I think I'm done with making changes ....... !!

Autobiography - Has yours got cup holders etc in the arm rest?

No load through on my HSE Dynamic but I do have cupholders and a storage net of some sort in the armrest.

Here is mine on the AB

So, if you have RSE you get a another design with a lidded box to store the remote! How many combinations of armrest does the RRS have? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tim,
That design is with load through whether or not you have RSE. The only difference RSE makes is the actual remote control!

Hi Guys,

I dont have load through...do I? If so, how does it work lol.

do you think the load through makes the middle squab higher, i.e. slightly less usable as a middle seat - poking around one, i did notice the middle seat is less usable than the RRS1 - is that fair? got 3 kids, 2 older ones, one still in a booster.. currently D4 HSE 2013 SDV6, 1986 911 3.2 Carrera..

Keeno...I am local to you so welcome to have a look, alternatively I think Harwoods have some in stock...they certainly did when I had my warranty work done in there, I was impressed with them  2014.5 Mariana Black 5.0 Supercharged V8 Autobiography

yep Harwoods, i went in there the other day, having vowed never to re-enter that place a few years back!! They did sell a Defender for me, and did that well, but they had a couple of really poor (and rude!) sales guy a few years back - one guy laughed down the phone at me when i was very up front and told him what spec, age and price I wanted to pay for a Discovery (at which price there were loads on the LR used site), never called back, ended up buying one from upppp north from another LR dealer - the same happened with the Defender. But the recent guy was very good - and I hear from mates they have turned a bit of a corner..?? The problem is the coverage of Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, bits of Surrey aren't short of LR/Range Rover buyers so...

got to say i am a bit worried about the middle row, middle seat, will need to borrow one. Anyone else with 3 kids who use it relatively frequently on long trips 5 up? currently D4 HSE 2013 SDV6, 1986 911 3.2 Carrera..

I guess it depends on the age/height of the kids as well - Guy Salmon in Aylesford (awful dealership) might be close enough for you to check it out, or ask for an extended test drive maybe?

Looking at it, it doesn't look as comfortable as the other two seats but I;m sure its better than the SVR middle seat  2014.5 Mariana Black 5.0 Supercharged V8 Autobiography

Used mine 5 up and it is true that the middle seat is not as comfy as the other two or even the middle seat in the old shape RRS. Solution was to put my son's booster seat in the middle and the adult passenger on the side. A bit fiddly to buckle up the middle seat belt in this configuration because the receiver wants to fold down into its slot and under the booster seat. Still better than seating someone in a relatively uncomfortable seat. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top
