I currently have standard (heated) seats in my defender, looking to put something a bit more comfortable in, not fussed about them being heated. a lot of people recommend the RX8 seats but i am not that keen on the racer look that these seats have. i had heard that some Alfa Romoe seats are an easy swap and they have less of a "bucket racer" style look to them. but i wondered if anyone had any other recomendations?

I have classic RR seats in mine. Bulkhead removed but no other adaptation needed. Very comfortable and great support, I would highly recommend them.

I put some leather Recaros in my first Defender and hated them, the high side supports of the sport seat made it very awkward getting in and out so I soon reverted back to standard seats and never felt the need to upgrade in all my other Defenders thereafter.

If you can get hold of some old Exmoor Trim ones, they are good. Better than the seats in my Golf anyway

Another vote here for good quality new standard seats. far more comfortable than the wife's bmw. You will be amazed what a difference new vs old makes before modifying and fitting ones form somewhere else.
