It's a "fault" of most vehicles but the bulkhead really shows how much the front seats sit behind the B pillar and impinge on rear seat space. I'm not sure why seats and pillars don't align better?

The B pillar on the 90 is a lot further back than the 110.

The bulkhead has to allow for full range of seat travel and is actually quite thick. It isn't really a true reflection of the 110 SW rear leg room. https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews |

I think that's the point I was making...it's huge. Click image to enlarge So why don't the pillars line up with the seats? Does it in any car? |

Depends how long your legs are! My shoulder is just in front of the seatbelt. I’m 5 10 with admittedly chimp like proportions of short legs/long body. https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews |

I think that the bulk head is crying out for a molle kit.
There’s a lot of wasted space there that could be adapted by the owner using ex military pouches. Even in ‘work mode’ surely if the designers at JLR had any real world experience they would know that there should be somewhere to store, close to hand, a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, a pocket for paperwork, a quick release system for a large flask. And as the vehicle is designed to work, why oh why put the jack under the rear floor especially as you would expect the back end to be used. Again, it could be attached to the molle frame behind the seats Hopefully the aftermarket will see the opportunity here. This is my favourite vehicle in the line up. |

With the amount of seat travel in the front, you’d need to have legs like a giraffe to need the seat that far back

Or normally drive a BMW 316 tarted up to look like an M3 or an Audi A3 , with the drivers seat back in sun lounger mode……. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! Last edited by Tim in Scotland on 29th Aug 2021 12:44pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Definitely potential there for additions on both sides of the bulkhead. There’s a little net pouch behind each seat and the seats have the pockets in the back of them but a lot of empty space https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews |

If you buy one, do you think that the salesman will empty the contents of his bin across your dashboard and throw in a copy of the Sun, a week old copy of the Racing Post and an empty Costa cup for your loose change and spare washers.....because it a van....

I've taken my bulkhead out and removed the covers from the second row door windows. I can now access the handy space directly behind the seats. And the storage pockets on the back of the seats. 130's have feeling's as well you know
