Rear seats now fronts seats.....maybe a puma is on the shopping list??
I'm thinking about replacement seat options for the 130. Whilst stock seats are OK, I'm after something that has adjustable lumbar support (preferably electric). Anyone know what seats I should look for (probably from the wreckers or online)?

We fitted some exmoor LR seats with pump up lumbar support to our then new130 puma before doing long drive to Kimberley--great but not free- came from LR specialist in Mulgrave Sydney.
I was thinking of options on this a while ago. I'd love a set (or driver side only) Recaro/Saas/Sparco etc but the obvious problem is they don't have a removable base. You could empty out whatever s in there and relocate and add a drawer (which might not be the most practical solution or put in a base to sit the seat on but hinge the base at the back by engineering a frame down to the structure. Its a lot of faffing around (and probably hideously expensive and time consuming) but how else to get around he lift off base.
A long time ago I had a set of Allfa Sud seats in my WB panel van. They sat really low (too low) but would be great in a Defender given the thin base the seats have.
Hi, the exmoor seats do have the removable base just like the original seats--maybe google them.
Just re foam your original seat frames and while your there instal some pneumatic lumber support pads to the frame under the new foam ....... or spend ludicrous coin on new seats .

When I'm here I want to be out there.
I had a quote for Stratos Seats last week, using the part numbers from Stratos' website for 110s.
Suspension seats $2,882 each
Static seat $2,484 each.
Plus install.
I wasn't concerned about removable bases as my 6x6 has fuel tanks under both seats, so didn't ask if they were removable or not.
My taste in cars doesn't seem to allow for nice things for said cars.
Find a wrecked Puma and pinch the seats?
Add extended seat runners and you're away.
We have added some seat covers with extra padding we bought in Autobarn to ours, as The Navigator wanted extra padding (happy wife equals happy life, as they say), although I was quite happy with the standard seats, which are firm and supportive.
Each to his own.
