Cartoonheads overland 130 thread
Hello - new here, been on a few different landy forums as I own a 90, range rover classic and now a 130. Since buying the 130 I've found myself on this particular forum more and more often so decided it's time to join Thumbs Up

So - the vehicle is a 2015 2.2 puma 130 with 8000 on the clock which I'll be modifying for a year long overland trip (not sure exactly where yet!)

First modifications I've made are to fit recaro bucket seats and a momo steering wheel.. Comfort is important to me now, having driven around Morocco for a month in the standard seats in my 90 with heavy duty suspension Laughing

Having never owned Recaros or similar ilk seating, is there much difference between them and standard puma seats? I spent 8 hours in mine yesterday and it was all good and to me those Recaros look a little thinner...do they use a better quality foam or is the style that is more comfortable, ie you feel more enclosed than sat on the seat so to speak?

It’s one of those things where you don’t realise what you’re missing out on until you try it, for me it was anyway. It’s not so much about the padding it’s that the Recaros are more ergonomical and have better lumbar support. It’s the same with desk chairs, once you try a good one it’s hard to go back.

If you’re ever at the usual LR shows or in Bucks (Amersham) you’re welcome to try mine out!

Hi Cartoon head. Great looking Land Rover.

Is it for sale? I recognized it from an eBay advert, I went to check and the reg is the same. Just wanted to point it out in case of ID theft or a scam:

Cheers. Guy.
