The 130 seats don't recline, and are very poor for long distance travel, this is for 2007 onwards.
With the drivers seat all the way back there is 250mm to the edge of the rear seat. The drivers seat back reast isnt exactly straight up its in a relaxed position as I would normally drive.
There is 380mm from the floor to the top of the bottom half of the seat in the rear.
There is 700mm from the back of the drivers seat to the front of the back rest on the rear seat.I measured this about half way up the back rest on the rear seat.
Good luck with it. My kids love the 130.
Cheers

thank you very much michael you are a champ,
it seems to be quite large in comparison to my navara i also measured my navara today and with the drivers seat all the way back and reclined a litttle to my sitting position there was only 140mm , at my normal position of seating 240mm.
this is good news to me,
130 vs navara = 250mm vs 140mm at full extention
thats 110mm more space for the 130tdi + 100 mm possible, give or take if i dont require the 130 seat all the way back
130tdi = 250mm + 100mm = 350mm leg room behind driver
navara = 240mm leg room behind driver at my position
so l am hopeing to gain 110mm for the kids if i get the 130tdi and my driving postion is similer to that of the navara and if not and i have to have the 130tdi seat all the way back worst case scenario is l gain 10mm,
so 10mm - 110mm extra seems promising.:D
i have been researching a lot and i am really leaning to get a 130tdi over the 110 i think it will be more versatility for my needs, but the 110 does look a little together, but i think with a bit off tinkering and home made bits i could get the 130 looking quite smart.:cool:
thanks again Michael for your time,
cheers Mick
No worries Mick.
Also defender front seats are set higher on boxes compared to a navara. A d22 has the seats on the floor and a d40 isnt much better. Because of this reason the seats are further away from the dash.
In the defender you can space the front seats up higher which means you shouldnt need to slide the seat back as far. This could be another option for more room in the rear.
Cheers
Michael.
Thanks again Michael,
so the only issue for me to solve now is selling my navara, its on the market so hoping it goes soon, its a good bus and surprisingly capable and if the defender can go where my navara can go happy days, but i secretly hope the defender will go further ;)
Mick.
Anybody with a Defender knows you won't have to secretly hope.Quote:
