Sorry for the late reply, I've not been on here for a while. I took the pic down because I get jittery having pics of my kids out in the public domain.
My kids are 5, 5 7 and 7, so I have 2x Group 2-3 seats (Cybex Solution Z i-Fix) in the second row, and 2x Group 2-3 seats in the 3rd row. With the two seats in place in the 2nd row it's only just possible to get the armrest down in the middle, so I doubt you could get a 3rd seat in the row. There's enough for a small adult and/or teen to sit there but its a squeeze.
Car's still going great, and has surpassed all expectations. It's now got 2k miles on the clock and has been back to have the animated indicators activated.

We have a 7 year old and two 5 year olds. We managed with 2 maxi cosi rodifix airprotect on the outside and a Volvo booster seat with back in the middle. As the latter is very slim.
The Volvo one (not ours, picture from the internet)

Just saw a picture from a few years ago:
- 2 family fix with pearl on it (maxi cosi)
- 1 rodifix airprotect in the middle
Worked as well

Hello all - thought I'd pop my head back in and give a little update for those that may be interested.
The car turns 2yr old in March (where's the time gone!) and with 20k miles now under its belt what can I say, but, it's amazing! Not a day goes by where it doesn't astound me how good it is. The engine has got better and better (still as quiet as a mouse, and the MHEV effortlessly hustling it along in a way that a car of such weight shouldn't physically be capable of!), economy in great, and it's coped with everything mother nature has thrown at us (snow, wind, rain, ice etc) with complete ease. Ferrying around the 4 kids is easy, the Pivi Pro OTA updates have ironed out the minor bugs, and added the all important Wireless CarPlay, all meaning I genuinely can't think of anything I would want to replace it with.
Annoyances? none I can think of (it really has been that good!), but the week before Xmas it did develop the dreaded 'squeal' on cold/first start, and after a call to LR assist it rendered the car out of action between Xmas and New Year as I waited of the dealer to reopen, but as it was due to go in on the 6th to have it's first service anyway, they fixed the problem at the same time.
For those with MY21> who may have the same 'squeal' issue, it's the FEAD belt, but the belt is not the actual first cause of the squeal. On MY21>, the Air Con unit bracket isn't/wasn't torqued correctly at factory, and over time (mine took nearly 20k miles to start!) it works loose, this then causes the FEAD belt to move, and in turn causes the squeal.
I called LR assist out, who diagnosed it straight away. He said it was common and LR know about it. He advised me not to drive the car anywhere but to the dealer, as there was/is a risk of the belt snapping. So when it went in for it's first service they also (FOC) replaced the air con bracket, re torqued correctly and also replaced the belt etc It's now back to normal, and after the fresh service is running as smoothly as ever.
Apart form that minor hiccup, it's been faultless and smashed the 20k miles with ease. My dealer is desperate for me to 'trade-in' the car, but given the huge discount I got, coupled with all the price rises since I bought at the end of 2020, and the removal of many things as standard, I have so much equity that it would be utter folly to sell it, so it'll be staying for a while yet. I must admit I was tempted to look at the new LWB 7 seat FFRR, but in equivalent spec it's pretty much double the price I paid for the Disco so I cancelled that idea.
A quick picture of when i picked it up last week from the service and fix. I arrived to find it parked next to very muddy Metropolitan. The red Disco Sport HSE was my loaner, and although was "ok", it's certainly not anywhere near the same league as the full Disco. Here's to another 20k miles!
