Junglie Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I suspect someone will have tried this before... I've just been offered an MG ZT (Rover 75) V6 as an MOT failure for free. The seats are possibly the most comfortable I have ever sat in, and they're mint. Any idea if they'll bolt in the Landy without needing a stupid amount of additional work? Because if they will...I'll do that! And does anyone want the rest of a 2003 MG ZT V6 saloon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Wait till you see what my next project is. My Golf has finally expired, snuffed it, shuffled off its mortal coil etc, actually my MOT man suggested I'd be lucky to get home alive in it....Anyway, it has a pair of heated leather recaros that, with a faeces load of frame modifications, will be taking up residence in the Defender.....

Phill S Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Erm - how are you going to get into the battery box? I'm hoping you have a solution I can use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question. Right now I have no idea, I just want to know if I can make the darn things fit at all without having to do a ridiculous amount of additional work. Because my main priority is getting the engine and gearboxes swapped and back on the road before anything else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did it fail on? Could be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibex94 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I've got Porsche 996 seats in mine😎. It wasn't that difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I had disco seats in mine, until they said they needed certifying as a modification so put Exmoors in to replace them. Just have to take out 4 screws if you need to get to the battery box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
