I am planning on upgrading my 1999 Disco TD5 ES to a post face-lift TD5 ie a
2002 or 2003 model. I've surveyed the small ads and found that there are virtually no post face-lift models with cruise control and 5 seats. Apparently Land Rover removed cruise as a standard fitment for ES (it became an optional extra) and I'm guessing they just stopped making 5 seaters. Personally I prefer the extra load-space you get with the rear bins instead of the extra seats. Has anyone tried replacing the seats with Land Rover sourced bins? Is it just a case of unbolting the seats and fitting the bins or is the rear interior plastic purpose built for a 7 seater?Has anyone tried retro-fitting cruise control to a TD5? Can you buy Land Rover parts and do it yourself? Presumably a dealer would do it for me for a small fortune.
Any ideas or comments are gratefully received.
Mike
