On the 110 the floor under the rear seats is raised to clear the upward curve of the chassis rails and (although I haven't looked) I doubt that there is much room underneath it. I am not sure what the chassis shape of a 130 is but if the upward curve is 20" further back then there probably is.
I find that there is quite a good amount of storage under and behind the back seats in my 110 DC anyway, and I have never understood why the second row in a DC is bolted in place when it has the same catches and hinges as the tiliting seats in a 110 SW or USW. Needless to say, mine is no longer bolted and now tips to allow access to all the junk underneath. |

Blindpugh - Thanks, yours is a TD5 any chance you could send a picture of the arrangement under the seat.
Blackwolf - Thanks the curve of the chasis is behind the cabin, so I assume LR just use the same body part on 130 and waste the space, looks like TD5's had a better design. I too have removed the bolts from the back of the seats so they will fold down and expose the storage space behind the seats. I want more storage for long items, I have demoutable camper and there are always lots of things to be stashed away low down to keep the CofG low.

Thanks,
I can see why LR no longer put the storage hatch in, the mounts for the seats on Puma are massive, not the simple system you have. I will have to investigate further. Thanks for the photo, I'll post one of the Puma arrangement later. Richard 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper |
