    I bought a kit to raise the 2nd row of seats. the only drawback is that
    now the loading floor is not flat anymore, but seating infinitely better !







    It comes with a set of longer bolts. Probably not MOT allowed,
    althoug belts move up with the whole seat..

    Not this seller, but same product.. :

    Not alot, as awaiting for LR Assist to see what the issues are with the driver side window and constant low battery warnings.

    Oh well, maybe the window mechanism failing was a blessing in disguise. AA man was very nice and honest. Found several issues which I did not even know existed or was aware of, as no lights came up on the dash. Am just thankful I phoned them this morning before the warranty expires next month. Cars booked in for 4 days, but with extra issues found this afternoon, I think will be in for at least a week Rolling Eyes

    Not one to air my dirty laundry in public for the world to see, but this is what has transpired this afternoon, and maybe of some use to someone.

    I only reported the battery and window issues. Managed to shimmy up the window, but it dropped when I came home tonight by a few mm as I could hear wind noise. The AA chap knew straight away what the issue was without taking off the doorcard. He said he could cut the cable and tie wrap it, but as he was late by 2 hours I just said am happy to get it closed, as I was running late for work. Its a bit of a pain and time consuming he said. Seen several with the same problem, frayed wires which snap. Very common problem apparently.

    Checked the battery and he asked if I had the earth bolt altered. I said no it never gave me any problems, so he moved the bolt to the next hole, next to the battery. Took 2 mins if that. I was under the impression that it had to be welded from some of the posts on here?

    He also mentioned this was the first Petrol one he has had a call out from. Lovely looking car he said. Just a pity Lexus don't build them though.

    Interesting!
    How long did you have to wait for a booking and what did you get as a loaner?
    Thanks

    I think I called up in mid-Jan. could have been booked in early Feb without a loaner, but with a loaner today was the first day possible.

    Loaner is a Disco Sport. Yikes. Doesn’t feel like a LR at all. I’d have a base model Discovery every day of the week over a mid/top range Disco sport

    There were 3 things I liked about the Sport I had as a loaner last time. One was the feel of the steering wheel, it feels like you're actually holding on to something. The weight of the steering was better than my D5, which is way too light. And both have electric power steering so it should be adjustable.
    And lastly, giving it back to the dealer.

    I agree on the giving it back Very Happy

    Think the steering is bloody awful on the DS. I’m used to one handing the D5, doing the same in the DS results in too much turn in for the steering angle and the self-centring is so strong as to be uncomfortable. I’d adjust to the former, but the latter is unlike any car I’ve ever driven - very poor design.

    Giving it back now!
