    Turning a 5-seater into a 7-seater

    A mate is looking to buy an early Disco.
    Ideally Tdi, 7-seats & manual (and also cheap ?). At a push he'd go V8 but his heart is set on a Tdi.
    He's found a 5-seater and wanted to know how easy it is to add the additional seats.

    I guess (but stand to be corrected) if he could get the required parts from someone wrecking a 7-seater it would make the 'engineering' fairly straightforward.

    Is that correct ? Or should he be looking for a 7-seater ?

    One of my D1s started life as a 5 seater and has had the 6/7 seats fitted. It was as simple as fitting all the factory bits and getting the relevant engineer to confirm and fit the mod plate.

    very simple process

    Seats and brackets with belts is all you need , of you get the trim it will make it neater but easy to make the required holes in yours.

    I have a 7 seater and am thinking about possibly sacrificing a seat for the extra storage space. If your mate ends up buying one I can do a swap with him!
