Range Rover interior into Disco
« on: January 11, 2008, 22:16:49 »
I want to put my leather front and rear seats from my old Range Rover Vogue SE (1989) into my 1989 200tdi Discovery.  I want to use the metal base frames from the disco and attach the leather to them, afaik they fit fine doing it that way, but not sure if the rear is as easy to do?

Does anyone have any experience and pics of this so i can see for meself.

Cheers

Dan

I have seen this done, can't remember where though. IIRC the back seat is a straight swap but the front ones need adaptor plates to fit onto the Disco seat sliders (a couple of bits of suitably thick steel sheet with holes drilled in appropriate places).

I'd have thought the same, the back seats go onto the floor and the floor is shared isn't it?

the range rover front seats do look good in the front but i would keep the disco ones in the back rr one are realy uncomfortable in the middle seat compared to a disco one.

To be fair, the middle seat in the back of any car isn't going to win awards for comfort! I say swap the lot, they won't match otherwise which would look a bit odd.

I replaced my cloth disco seats with leather Range Rover ones. The back seat is a straight swap & the rear passengers love the centre and side arm rests. The front seats involved cutting the centre out of the disco seat base and re welding to suit the R.R seat in a lower position. Range Rover seats have more padding than disco seats so the frame needs to be lowered to keep the new seats at the same height as the old. Not a hard job and one that takes about the best part of a day. Best mod I have ever done.

on the topic of range rover seats...some are more comfortable than others...

the ones in my 86 are more comfy than in my 92...they are a different shape - the earlier ones have a 'longer' base so are more supportive for your legs.
