Hi All, living out in the sticks meant the vw transporter had to go........

Excellent choice of truck sir and although I cannot help you with your seating or posture, I can highly recommend you consider security before bling... Whistle

RRS's are a nice but very pricey seat if you go for them in leather.

We are going for the Premium Seats 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic

Lovely choice Max. I have the premium seats and find them very good (240 mile drive from Zagato's house back home with no comfort issues at all).

If you are actually needing more support then I would not go on recommendations from anyone - it's a very personal thing and nothing will help you more than actually sitting in various seats and finding the one that suits you best.

Also, don't assume that money buys you better seats in terms of comfort or support.

Seats
Thanks all.........for sure I won't be going for a seat on looks or op advice......

The test wagon we had was kitted out with premium seats however I could not see te alue in upgrading from std xs.

Will take a trip to lri and sit in a few........should I hang on to my Oem seats or trade in on their px deal?

Cheers

VERY good post mate, & very wise & true words.
We didn't fit the premium seats for a few reasons, but NOT saying they're no good.
The reasons we didn't fit them was (a) we didn't think that the "look" of then suited the interior or the "look" of the Defender, the retro look of the interior, & the general "olde worlde" ambience of it. (b) We really like the part leather "ordinary" Defender seats, which we found very comfortable, & which felt "blended in"/more suited the Defender.
Over a year down the track and with some occasions doing 8/900ks in a day, we've always found the standard seats very comfortable.
So Supacat, very true words:...buy what suits YOU best.
Pickles.

In my Tdi i just have the standard seats re-trimmed

To help with comfort, I have fitted these

They really really help with the comfort and seating position in general.

If you fancy something nice looking then there are also these
