Nice seats the Scheelmann’s, I went with Exmoor Trim for the seat box access so nice to see that Scheels now have the access sorted too ! Looking forward to seeing how they perform !

Great series to watch. I did the ultimate pike out when looking at Defenders (having owned 3 in the past) and bought a very late model Disco 2. Comfort already installed! It is looking good and very interesting to see how she goes. Cheers

You can get a piece of something that goes on the seat box corners to stop wearing if you want to put a vinyl join

I have a TD5 110 and I’ve put the Scheelmann seats in. Just done a Canberra to Coffs trip a week ago and they are such a comfortable and supportive update. I was a bit worried about the cost but not after the trip. They are a great investment. An option to raise the cubby is installing a Frontrunner Storage Box. It will lift the cubby by about 10cm

Cheers Simon, i agree, just did 6,000kms in them too. The Front Runner box is going in as we speak!

Having 2 Defenders myself, I'm keen to hear how you find them in regards to the following: Comfort for long-distance driving // Visibility out the front windscreen and side window - referring to looking upwards to the skyward - do u lose much visibility due to sitting higher? // Quick &/or easy access to storage/battery under the seats? - I gather you would have to remove the passenger's seat altogether to replace the battery? // Position of seats in relation to the handbrake - has this altered at all?
@SIDETRACKED
@SIDETRACKED 2 жыл бұрын
I'll give an update after using them more but after 6,000kms very happy. Visability is a problem for sure, traffic lights for example. I've just had 2 batteries in and out with the seat base just folded up, no removing of the seat and the handbrake... well, still a pain.

Something like this is what I need in the Discovery 2. The seats don’t move back far enough.

think there is a kit you can get goes under the centre box which would lift it up higher think it is so you can relocate the ecu on the td5 modal as the box under the seat gets a lot of water in it if you are doing deep water crossings i got a 2m extension for the ecu so i can mount it on the roof don't know what they were thinking when the put the ecu under the seat

I've been watching seat replacement videos all weekend. Nobody shows how far back the seats recline! I think that's important, no? How flat do these go?

I have watched several of your videos and would be keen to know how you assess all the mods - do they perform to your expectation? Seats, suspension, 35" tires etc....

​@@SIDETRACKEDYeh, I've got a Perentie and i believe even without a rear cab panel on it they wont fit unless you modify the rear bulkhead. I would say though that i am not in the same position as you as im about 176cm and find the searting positions to be fine but just the comfort of the seats (from the military) arent the best for long distances.

Can the battery still be removed and replaced through the seat pop up space?, or would you need to remove the entire seat
@SIDETRACKED
@SIDETRACKED 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah I've placed 2 batteries under the seat, still only lifting the base to place them in! As the seat is on long slides, you can slide the seat back over the hole better.
