Changing Leather

Does anyone know how easy/hard it it to change the leather on the leather seats - the side thigh support on the drivers seat is a little worn, from getting in and out of the car - and it's bugging me......

2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey

Contact the guys at Charles Hurst and ask if they have a pet upholserter, quite a few people seem to have new cars re-trimmed these days so they may have access to one

I know alot of people who got leather replaced under warranty on bmw's due to 'excessive wear'. Maybe worth asking land rover if its bad.

Going to see Charles Hurst today - one very obvious aspect could be when parked up, it's never been in access mode, so when you jump in and out, you're always rubbing quite hard against the lower and upeer parts of the leather.....will keep you posted...

Have you tried getting it replaced as a warranty item....................................... your car is still covered so it's worth a try.
