Front seat replacement
« on: October 05, 2005, 13:03:16 »
3 door 200tdi

My driver's seat is getting a bit saggy, any recomendation on what seat I can use to replace it using the existing flip forward seat base.

Ideally I'd like to be able to find a seat from a scrappy (eg not a land rover seat) so it will be nice and cheap.

ta very much

I would think that any of the rover car range would be a good start.

Can't remember how the 3 door tilt works if its the base or the seat that moves, so you may loose the tilt forward function.

How about a seat out of an LDV/Sherpa van, might be worth a look

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

The Isringhausen seats fitted to certain LDV vans were pretty much the only redeeming feature of an otherwise charmless vehicle.

On a related note, I'm thinking of fitting some Rangie electric seats in my
Disco.  Anyone done this?

Prob is that he has a 3 door, so has to tilt forward, some of the LDV minibuses had a tilt passenger seat in it, complete, I believe the isri seats are integral with the base, although you can find them at commercial scrappies all over the place
