That is all I have to say about that.



Whistle What he said Sad


Also . the rear wheel boxes look to be the square ones, not the factory ones with the angle cut into them, that were fitted to allow pukka rear seats to be fitted


What they said. Avoid like the plague.

With all the pming and the fact I want to know why...... why not just post it?

Plus... on topic- What is the legality of this? I know it is against the law to remove the flat bead and fit the seats to a Discovery 3.... how is this any different?

Ask around the AWDC, BORC and many will tell you that there was a spell in prison for a group of people for ringing Land Rovers in the 1990's included people from the Staffs & Shropshire LRC as well as people from the Land Rover trade.

I have recently inspected a Simmonite bought 90. The tidiest Td5 you ever saw in silver, yet it was on a 300tdi chassis with 300tdi engine......also the bulkhead was red, silver on outside, brush painted black under the bonnet and red behind dash etc.
The seats were gen heated, yet not wired up, td5 rear tub, yet the filler pipe was ran to under the seat tank. it shouts 'dubious'.

The Puma on the original post of this thread, CLEARLY is NOT a genuine CSW, yet that's what the 'Land Rover experts' claim.
If it seems dubious, it usually is, hence why I offered the advice of avoiding them.
The reason I pm'd the original poster is because he was the one who's friend was possibly going fork out a spunk load of money, I thought I'd offer this advice..

There, now you know Thumbs Up

Agreed! They sold me the WRONG bulkhead, even when given the VIN number, and then refused to take it back! Even though it had not been altered in any way by me! Evil or Very Mad An engine to TDi for!

As noted, this is not a CSW - it has the commercial bulkhead behind the front seats - I went to have a look at it in their showrooms. Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

No high level brake light is always a sign of a HT conversion on the earlier models. That one doesn't look to have one.
