Front seats comfort with rear seat cushions forward

I've not noticed any posts on this, so here goes. This is not a complaint, but a word of advice for the benefit of those who are contemplating purchasing this outstanding vehicle. I've noticed that in order to drop the rear seat cushions forward to create a flat rear cargo area, I need to move the front seats forward to a point where the front seat comfort, particularly the driver's, is less than I would have wished. Not a major issue as I only need to do this occasionally, but if you plan to drive with a full load on a regular basis my suggestion is to ensure that you drop those rear seats on your test drive and be sure you are happy with the driving position. Other than this the only irritations are the as yet unsolved ashtray cover issue, and three distinct and separate rattles that have developed in the last 1,000 miles. Approaching 6,000 miles and still thrilled with my RRS. 2006 RRS HSE 4.4, Zambezi Silver

Swiftly and with style!!!

It is true what you say and on the three occasions i have needed the rear seats flat I have been thankfull it was only for short journeys. On every occasion I have to have the front drivers seat so far forward it is not only uncomfortable but dangerous.
Land Rover should change thier sales pitch to, totally flat loadspace for those who are short enough to manage. Laughing
Any future events where I need more space will entail the use of the tow bar and trailer. Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment.

Good info - thanks. In my capacity as a 6'4'' lanky streak of p**s (my wife's words Wink), I'll have to watch for that.

Cheers
