Hello from RR newbie and question one

Welcome... Visa card shredding is over in the corner, couciling is available on request though usually involves buying an additional landrover product. :-)

Never needed to replace them, just bend them far enough to catch the plastic. If they do snap you can always screw a new strip in place.

If you mean what I think you mean then move the front seats forwards they should then rest in the vertical position.

Thanks Lee. Looking forward to being broke from now on... I guess I can just screw a new bit of metal on, but I'm only just getting used to the idea that I can do that to my car!

How trivial is it to remove the back seats (and put them back afterwards)? It looks really easy, but are there captive bolts that will disappear into a place where I'll never see them again if I unbolt the seats? TIA, of course.

Andrew uttered summat worrerz funny about:

Never done it myself but take a peek underneath. It's all real basic and I'd Imagine they are welded to the bodywork but I could be wrong.

Lee

Good shape and good engine!

Hello Andrew - fancy bumping into you here :-)

I'll have a poke around and see how I get on. A lack of negative response is enough to get me going! Thanks.

It's very easy, unless the screws shear, so it might be worth slathering on the PlusGas a day or two before you try. It's sometimes worth removing just the seat cushions, and folding the squabs flat, if all you need is extra floor length.

The seats take up a surprising amount of your bedroom when you've taken them out.

I've even been told of someone who took out the back seats and seat belts so his Rangey couldn't fail its MoT on the big rust holes in the rear arches, next to the seat belt mounts.

Well I do still have a couple of landrovers, a 110 and a two door convertible, gently rusting away.

I haven't owned a range rover for several years, it was an 84 model and never gave me any trouble except for the petrol bills. A "mate" bought it from me, half down half later, I'm still waiting and the vehicle is now famous for being the donor featured in a TV programme converting it to an offroader.
