[morson4x4]

Hello i got sum new seats for my discovery 200 series an want to put my new ones in how do i take old ones out thx

Ummmmmm, un bolt them...... :doh:

There bolted through the floor.

Are the new ones straight replacements? If not, you will have to make up some new rails.

also is it a 3 or 5 door?
4 bolts on front seats - also 4 holding the runners onto base
rear seat has 4 catches holding the front to the floor - the rear is catches that just click in....I am ripping mine out soon to replace with a RR interior!

The three door and five door front seats are set up differently to allow for the front seat to be moved forward for access on the three door.
The rear set are the same and you will probably find that the bolts are rusted in and you will have to snap off the bolts,
if you're lucky they will move,
try and douse the nuts & bolts in WD40 every day for a week before you try to move them,
then you might get lucky and get them to screw out.

The five door front seats shoud be quite easy as they fit onto a interior frame and do not go through the floor.
The three door is different as the seats are bolted to the floor.

good luck,

Ron.

3 door seats are on a seperte frame, and as such DO NOT bolt directly to the floor - they bolt to the tilting subframe - which in turn bolts into th floor (2 captives -and 2 with nuts)

this is so true i took mine out last week and snapped three and had to weld a thin bar the the bit of bolt left in the hole and the heat off the weld worked a treat to loosen them up

I just had mine out this morning....

J reg 5 door V8....

slide the seats all the way backward, then use a T40 torx bit to undo the rear seat-to-runner bolts, one on each side

slide the seat all the way forward to allow access to the front seat-to-runner bolts, again, one each side

Total of 4 bolts out and you can lift the seat out, once the seat is removed, you'll be able to access the runner-to-frame bolts, use the same bit to remove these if you need to, otherwise bolt your new seats straight to the runners.

Just a couple of points, it helps if your either a contortionist or have a small child handy for the 'inboard' bolts, as they are not the easiest to get to.  If you need to remove the runners, make a mental note/take a pic of which way round they go, other wise a five minute job becomes a 30 minute job while you try and figure out which way they were....

You dont need to remove the frame from the car to remove the seats, and it is probably best to them in anyway as I think the nut under the car is loose and would need a second person to hold it, unless you have really long arms.

And finally, if you intend on fitting Rangie front seats to your Disco, make sure that the distance between the runners is the same before you take the old seat out....

(They're not, by the way, now I need to fabricate an adapter to fit my 'new' seats')

To be honest I didn't measure them after taking the seats out either, but I can tell you the Rangie runners are wider apart than the Disco ones   ;)

I just put the front seats back in the shed and went ahead with changing the rear seats..much easier  :dance:
