Rear seat leg room is dire and the seats are very upright

Is the leg room the same as a 110? And comfort cannot be much different to sideways facing CSW seats?

Same leg room as a 110 Crew cab but less than a 110 CSW / USW.
Sideways facing seats depends if there is someone in the seat opposite. Just giving my experience of living with a 130, that was the downside for me  |

Fabricate another seat base and put normal seats in it if you don't need to transport more than 2 in the rear.
Passenger won't have to sit 'upright' any more (unless they want to) and they'll have some more legroom. There is a lot of waisted space behind and underneath the original rear bench Land Rover uses. I use the car as a work / family / weekend / holiday / blahblah car and have no problems with its turning circle.  Click image to enlarge |

Thanks for the advice guys, the seat box conversion is a good idea and adaptable to personal needs...
I will keep my eye for a really tidy 130 or a worthwhile project ( probably favour the later) Working towards Carry on camping! |

I've been running a 130 as a daily driver for 15 months now.
I've not regretted going for it over another 110 or 90 even once. I never have to sit in the back for very long, but then no-one else does either - it's only me and 'er indoors; and friends who ride with me tend to be in the truck only for short journeys and absolutely delighted that 5 blokes, 5 bikes and kit can go in a single car without a rack.
