I've managed to source a pair of unused genuine LR Premium Seats for my new XS ones in part X plus £800, fitted. And I'm glad as I find the current ones a bit unsupportive at the sides for me with my bad back. Does that sound about right? At LR they wanted £800 Each!! PLUS VAT!!


Out of curiosity, where did you get them from?

Would be surprised if a regular owner would tick a £1000 option box and then get rid as soon as they arrive, so guessing you've found a good aftermarket source for them (one of the re-trimmers?)?

Yes, I got them from a company in MK called Nurburg that sells brand new unregistered defenders but that they have re-trimmed or jazzed up, lowered and added all the bits to. They happened to have a pair they had taken out as at the last minute their buyer had decided he wanted the Recaros added instead.

Just had a great day - collected my Defender from having the privacy glass, and then spent the afternoon putting insulation in the back of it. Carpets go down in the back tomorrow. I had to put carpet in as the dog was slipping on the shiny painted wheel arches.
What do you think?

The Land Rover dealer got them done by a company based in Blisworth near Northampton I believe.

Carpets are now in at the back. It was a Censored of a job but I'm really glad I've done it. It sounds more solid now and the dog doesn't slide about on the painted wheel arches. I've put the original rubber mat over the top loosely to protect it a bit.

I have now bought 2 vehicles from Guy Salmon LR Northampton and have been really impressed by the level of service I have received.

Cracking looking Landie, I always think that they look good in green. Thumbs Up

I always use Susie Brown there. She always seems to do me a better deal than Stratstones or Marshalls, and makes the whole process good fun! Lol

Yes, she's who I've been dealing with too. I found Stratstones looked down their nose at me. Susie and I have had quite a laugh throughout the purchase experience

Collect my aintree green XS utility 110 on the 16th first thing I'm dooming is fitting new bonnet hinge and securing the doors as my last Td5 was stripped in Halifax ! At night also removing the lock wheel nut remover but heard someone arrested this month in Halifax ! So more good news !,,

Look forward to seeing the photos. The colour is great. All these security issues do worry me
