    I think you'd have to import them. I don't know of a distributor in Australia.

    I think Karcraft bring their stuff in (as part of Bearmach's range ?)

    Seats

    We have had a 1999 D2 for more than 10 years and now a MY2010 Def Hd110 cab/chas as well. We use the 110 with our Trayon for bush trips and we agree. The further you go the more you appreciate the Def seats. And as said earlier, the opposite is the case with the D2. A condition of me buying the Def was that I would get after market seats if the boss was not happy with the seats it came with. It still has the originals and the boss is very happy ( with the seats )

    The picture of the driver's seat is certainly the same as our seats.

    So I agree with the suggestion to go to the wreckers and get a current series Def seat for the passenger's side. At worst you might want to put seat covers on it.

    Too easy

    I found the seat of the Defender comfortable until my wife started using it every day. She wore her own bum groove and obliterated mine. I think the seats compress with age and have contemplated getting either new seats or a retrim kit with new foam.

    Yep, Drivers seat is a Defender 2007 onwards.

    Seats definately do deform with age / use - My 110 drivers seat base feels completely different to the passenger side after only 5 years use... Maybe I should look to swap them round

    Not expensive for a seat foam on fleabay (aussie distributor) - just replaced mine in the fender and feels like a new car (well almost) - definitely worth replacing the seat foams if you think they're worn or buggered. Even the backrests felt better as my body aligned better with the new seat foams lifting me up just that little bit..... Took about 15min's to swop foam and result was amazing. While at it you may want to wash the seat cloth - I re-used mine but there are pretty decent aftermarket trim available for the seats if you want.

    "Yep, Drivers seat is a Defender 2007 onwards."

    Thanks for that ID.

    I'll start looking for another one.
