biketestace Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I need help please, Finally after what seems a lifetime, iv taken delivery of my new van ! I am only 300 miles in but the drivers seat is a shocker........ To put it politely, its as comfortable as sitting on one of Ditchmans spare mole traps. Do any of you fine people know if my seat can be altered or even a new seat that would ease my pain ? I would like to keep the heated facility also. Thanks for your time, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Where did you buy your NEW van? Surely that would be the place for the answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor91 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I would be looking at focus st seats. They probably share the same rails if you get the right ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Paul I have a 14 plate 290 DCIV that I find as comfy to drive over just about anything else I have had in the last 10 years including some top end Audi A6 estates not as smooth as an autobahn cruiser but ergonomically for a lanky 6'6" absolutely top draw . I can drive for Yorkshire to French alps over 2 days and then ski for a week no bother My only slight niggle is at a shade over 6'6" with the seat jacked up for my lanky legs i am looking down through top of the screen. I would say the ride from the suspension is bouncy ( rear leaf springs that are setup for just short of a 3 ton ) last thing to look at is tyres and pressures the ride from the curent Micheilin Agilis is far better that wnhat were on when I bought it went for low 102/104 weight tyres on the 16' rims believe the big rims are very unforgiving. have a dig round transit custom forum you might see an agriv8 on there done shade over 40k in mine and its a keeper ( as I can't afford much else at the momnent ) ATB Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
