I'm the MOTBO (master of the bleeding obvious): did you check the steering wheel adjustment in the disco to make sure it wasn't set in the low position.

I have long legs and manage quite well with the wheel up and the seat set 1 or 2 notches from the rear setting. But with the steering set in the low position I can't use the clutch.

I can't sit comfortably in an 84 Rangie or a Defender but the Disco is grand.

Yeah I did mate - standard procedure for me. I have VERY long legs (am and 6'7" tall). Have no dramas in the Rangie or Freeo, but Disco and 'Fender are out.

A surgical procedure is the only hope then :wink:

Well at 6'6" I am the opposite! Rangies? Just say no. The last one I drove I could barely get into and had to drive with my head cocked over so my ear was nearly on my shoulder.

The S1 Disco we have is a wriggle to get into (have to depress the clutch with left foot while standing OUTSIDE the car to get my leg under the steering wheel, but once in I am very comfy. I do adopt the "bloke's" driving position of knees about 60cm apart though.
