How do you get a value of 10 seats? 2 in the front, 3 in the middle + an even number in the back gives either 9 or 11 - not 10.
I don't know what the qualifications of the representative I spoke to are, nor the information they used to come to their decision - and it would be worth ringing again and confirming their conclusion.
I know that you're trying to help Pat. I will contact Land Rover (at a more technical level) again to confirm - if they still say the vehicle is designed for 9, then I will leave it there and go on as I intended. If they say it's actually designed for 11, then I will of course go about removing or replacing seats in the vehicle to end up with 9.
Thanks,
CC
