more comfortable seat replacement
just completed a 1500m trip to the alps, "new" '06 D3 ran well but I found the driving seat uncomfortable - wondered if there were any easy softer replacements - maybe a RR sport seat ?
I have never found the D3 seats to be uncomfortable in my 09 which I have owned from new.
I wonder whether with age & use the drivers seat base has been compressed?
Swapping seats with those from another vehicle would, ISTR, be rather difficult.
NJSSAm I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.

none Electric or H2 fuel cell - yet.

I've done 800miles in a day a couple of times and just got out with no discomfort.Mark.

Is that a big job ? Mine could also do with a new heating element too as I end up like the Swiss footballer,s name "Bernt Hass" The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

My 'bum' struggles after 2hrs or so, I think the base in mine could do with a refresh also. Would be interested to see how difficult/hard it is to replace Iggy/Ieuan

cheers all, it's probably the seat foam thats compressed, exacerbated by the need to sit still whilst driving for 12 hours of a 13 hour journey whereas passenger can wriggle around! I'll investigate the foam renewal option
