very stupid question....

Short of changing the steering wheel for smaller one, I don't suppose there is any way of getting it to sit a bit higher than at full height adjustment?
Being a bit on the tall side, even with the steering wheel at full upwards adjustment it obscures half the dash...

Other than the adjustment you speak of I've never seen another adjustment point on mine.

Almost everyone will find a car out there that they just don't quite fit into. I can't see the heated seat switches in my mondeo when driving unless I lean my head to the passenger side nearly nutting the wife lol.

Only practical adjustment I can suggest is to remove a couple of vertebra.

had same issue ..
i bought a "scangauge_II" .. sat it on the steering column .. problem solved ..
( https://www.scangauge.com/products/scangauge-ii/ )
plus can monitor various gauges as i drive ..
i.e .. coolant temp in degrees .. alternator output in voltage ..

Bash my head on the A pillar as well getting in if I'm not careful - the joys of being 6' 5", might have to convince my neighbour to let me try his disco and see if that's any better.

Thanks hd3, I'll have a nose at those. For me the steering wheel covers whole of the temp gauge, most of the rev counter and a good part of the speedo as well. I could slouch down in the seat I suppose!

I had a Lander for 3 months, i'm 6"8 and looked quite funny in it, apparently..

Don't ask how i managed to drive it!!

Made me look!
I have the same problem. It's the turn signal blinkers that drive me crazy as I can't see them so
I'm always driving around with them on.
