Have you seen the price of replacement Defender seats!?
« on: June 18, 2012, 08:40:05 PM »
Just been having a poach about the 'net looking at various bits and bobs, came across this

http://www.exmoortrimshop.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=360&category_id=28&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=3, how can they justify that price for what is essentially a vinyl seat?!

 I understand it will no doubt be of good quality but £667.34 for ONE seat? And that's the cheapest one of that kind, they go up to £896.92 for the outlast fabric style one. Suffice to say I don't think i'll be ordering anything from them anytime soon, unless of course I win the lottery!

If you select a seat from the jump menu on the next page it says

Modular Seat - Black Vinyl. Includes runners. Sold in pairs. Priced per pair.

nevertheless you are right ............. you could fix alot of oil leaks for that.

do what everyone else does get your leather seats from a scrappy for a fraction of the price, then put a door on the side of your seat box,,, their just ripping the hole out of it because they think you must buy a seat with a removable base eeerrrr no!  as mentioned before thats a lot of bits for your landie, there seems to be a lot of this on the go,,  but they'll go the same way as scorpian racing as no one will buy there overpriced stuff,,,

Grey leather seats from a Volvo V70, exact matching shade to the rest of my trim, heated and all-sorts if I'd wired them up. £25 from a fellow Forum member. Big  ;D
Passenger side secured with butterfly nuts so no great drama if I want to get to the battery.
