Hi all a couple of pics of my 07 Tdv6 ts a base model manual bought it about a year ago with collapsed suspension and with only two seats, sorted now and has D4 leather seats, also have another 09 and an 06 both need motors and a D4 with broken crank so always something to do, sure I will be asking plenty of questions in the future

Justly deserved my friend with all the hard work that you’ve done
Indeed understand it can be frustrating at times but always felt well worth it with these lovely motors
Was taken back how well they drove, particularly on motorways in comfort and remain well planted , don’t wander around corners either , is my favourite landy so far
Saying that never driven a D4 so don’t know how they compare
Sorry I’m waffling as per usual,
Have a great week and look forward to the progress of the projects ur currently undertaking

What a result mate in getting more time off
Out of curiosity are the seats above in the pics manual plse , reason I ask is I couldn’t believe the difference going from manual to electric seats
I bought a pair of cloth seats that had memory , did do the bypass wiring mod but alas only gave the seat a 2-3 second burst , in the end I took the drivers side memory module out along with the seats wiring looms, bought 2 x second hand looms, opened them up and made a whole new loom for the drivers seat
In doing so gave me constant power and was amazed with the increase in comfort with the electric seats , particularly the lumber and under the knee support which considerably helped reduce any back ache
If ur ever interested happy to send over the wiring that I done by removing the memory module
Must confess if I ever replace the front seats again I’ll buy some D4 ones with the arm rests as heard there even better , would assume the leather would be better over cloth seats , Have seat covers anyway
