Thread: Discovery 2nd row seat weights??

On my last two long trips (7,500km and 11,500km) I took them out and freed up some much needed room in my D1, so not much different to your situation. My advice would be definitely lose the rear seats if a forum member can babysit them for you - not just for weight, but to give yourself some extra room! The RTT you can't do much about, especially with head/crosswinds as they kill your fuel economy. Ask me how I know, especially with a 300 Tdi!

Although realistically your not going to save much. I have a 2nd row drivers side D2 seat in my driveway (because doesn't everyone?). It's 34kg. So question is, is a 50kg saving worth the hassle?

I would've thought thats illegal to have baby sitting on the seats while your away , shouldn't they be at least supervised ?
if it's just the space your after , couldn't you just bolt the seat to the roof and put sis up there, sort of like grandma in ...was it family vacation

The simple answer whilst touring is YES

That's my issue is time, hence I thought about getting rid as I'll be heading g up to Darwin over the next few months cross cross the out back....so if someone was to babysit it would be a while so prob too much of an ask!! .....would be fantastic if you had a area to shove em' mind.....
