I'd say dogs that have chewed your seats know the feeling of ripped seats I was sitting on metal before I bought heated seat bases for a fiver

i think i must be an odd shape or something. i find the series comfortable, easy to see out of (even with the spare on the bonnet) and i have never one hit my elbow on the door. the only change i made to the seats was a deluxe seat back for the drivers side as the side support is much kinder to my nerve problems. normal car seats frequently give me a bad back and set my nerves off. i really like the upright driving position, though i can see how taller folks would have problems. i am only 5'10" ish and, lets just say portly, and can reach everything comfortably. even the handbrake is fine, the only time its a problem is the rare occasions i am wearing shorts, then it goes up the leg when i use the clutch. i'm not trying to be hard or anything either, i have made lots of changes to my life as my health went south but the landy is genuinely more comfortable to me than 90% of the cars i have been in over the last 6 years. maybe i am just average dimensions they had in mind when they designed them.

interesting discussion actually. i'm 6 foot and mostly legs, ive always been a hunched driver, by that i mean leaning forward, quite upright. even the thought of driving with the seat reclined makes me queasy. so in that sense the ninety and series 3 (with less than modern orientation) fitted me perfectly. i have never once used the sun visors in my ninety or S3 because my eyeline is just below the windscreen frame as it is.
i have noticed now that i'm in my 40s, the way i drove in 20s and 30s is very uncomfortable. i found that i don't keep my clutch leg out on the floor, it gets tucked back under my body kind of seated lotus position. so my left leg is always leaning on the hand brake and i now get chronic knee pain because knee is constant kind of spiral twisted tension. there isnt room for me to put my legs out straight in series 3, its kind of like perched on a park bench, my legs go up hill from my arse, which is also quite uncomfortable not to be supported under your legs

Only ever had a heated seat once. Metal frame and battery terminals not a good mix. Mind you, it was an old Davy Brown...sorted with a cut up old welly.

You cut out the bulkhead and make or buy a new cap for it.I had a brief look into this and found that bulkhead removal wasn't possible with series, only Ninety's & One Ten's onwards. Do you know different?
