Disco3 is easy as the retained nut is in built to the frame, just find it and bolt the armrest to it.

Disco 4 however, only has the retained nut in the frame if it already has the armrest. You need to find the right sized nut, weld it onto a plate and weld that onto the seat back itself. Not straight forward as you need to remove the seat cover to do that as well. Bodsys Brake Bible

You will need the patience of a saint to remove and refit seat leather. It is a Censored of a job. Just my two pence Thumbs Up A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

you'll need to remove the cover, otherwise you may end up seeing a cut in the leather which will drive you cracked for evermore. Its tidier to remove the seat cover tbh A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

Anyone done this recently? my drivers seat base stitching has split so if I was getting that fixed, I would consider adding armrests at the same time.
