So often, people put in seats that clearly don’t belong in a Defender. Especially when the seats have those loops over the shoulder to accommodate a non existent 4-point harness. These seats though look like a factory option 👌

They really look the part. I have so much saving to do with all these videos coming out I cant keep up!! 🙂

Very nice job Fraser, cheers

Those seats are VERY expensive compared to, say, buying a couple of seats out of a Disco' for £150 off eBay. Trouble is, with the battery living under the seat, you really shouldn't be fitting a seat that prevents you getting into the battery box - which means these are your only smart choice. And, if you've got a modified Defender, with extra wiring and fuses in the seat-box, it's doubly important to retain access. Personally, I was thinking about buying these for my last Defender but I decided I'd try fitting new covers to the original seats first. I figured if I wasn't happy with the results I could flog the original seats (with the new covers fitted) to recoup what I spent on the covers and then buy the Urban seats. Ordered a pair of half-leather seat trim kits and various replacement bits of foam from Exmoor. Fitting them was kind of fiddly but straightforward. The results were abso-f**king-lutely BRILLIANT! 👍 Even buying the seat trim kits was a big decision because I could easily have bought a pair of used seats for the same money but they were worth every penny. The new foam gave the seats their shape back and the covers looked absolutely mint. If you're thinking of recovering your Defender seats my only advice would be to watch a couple of KZfaq video's beforehand and take the old seat covers off CAREFULLY so you understand how they're assembled, which'll allow you to fit the new covers correctly. Even if your covers are ripped to shreds, if you just cut them off you won't have a clue how to fit the new ones. And if that all sounds like a faff, just dig deep and buy the Urban seats. You'll regret fitting seats out of a Disco, or whatever.

Interesting video, but for future reference, may I suggest you would be better releasing as 2 videos: one on replacing the seat belts (which is actually most of this video) and the other on fitting the new Exmoor seats. I'm thinking that people looking for your excellent information on replacing the seat belts might not find your really useful info as the title makes no mention of seat belts. Anyhow, I'll be telephoning you this week, as I need new seats for my Ex-military 1987 NINETY. The problem being finding appropriate seat mounts to fit the military version. Once again, thank you for these useful videos 👍

They look mint

Looks very smart.

Hi i was hoping you could help me. Ive just fitted heated seats to my defender 90. but when i fitted them i went the ignition side of power, so when i turn the ignition off the heated seats go off as well. but you went straight to the battery. my question is have i done this wrong and should i have gone to the battery or am I ok with what Ive done thanks regards Kevin

Did I miss the price? Normally if the price of something is not given, its because its too much. Anybody know the price?

Do they fit in a truck cab by any chance?

I really see no reason why I would want to replace the front seats of my 2014 Defender
