Aftermarket seats for new Defender ?

Hi

Does anyone know of a supplier that’s doing aftermarket seats for a new Defender? Reason for asking is that some cars trigger a long standing lower back problem with sciatica down my legs .. my new Defender is one of those cars (ffs). 1500 miles in to ownership and I’m hobbling around. I’ve got 12 way seats at the moment. The base is too flat with too little hip support and the lumber is not effective enough.

Trying to find a seat solution before I admit defeat and have to do an expensive trade in.

Thanks

I wonder if seats out of a Discovery 5 would fit? They were great for some very long days for the three years I owned one - the new 110 is nowhere near as comfortable. There were a few days that I put over 700 miles in my TDV6 2017 D5 with no adverse effects.

I’ve been looking at that today. I think they might but not sure about whether the electrics will be plug and play. I found this ad on eBay and it looks like they’ll fit measuring the frame and mountings. Looks like they give more support in the base and around the side lumbar.

Defeated .. sold my D300 today to a dealer for practically what I paid for it. Whilst I loved it and it’s a brilliant vehicle, I found it really uncomfortable. The seats are flat with no thigh support. That coupled with air suspension I found that you are continuously compensating with your lower back .. and mine has been knackered for ages and this vehicle irritated it.

Thankfully I haven’t sold my trusty 2008 110 so back to my roots and happy!
