  • Fuel saving idea..........

    Carrying on with my Pyrenean prep - I took the middle row of seats out just now and my good they weigh a ton.

    OK - maybe not a ton but I would estimate 30kg each. So like removing a permenant passenger from The Shed, gotta save me a few pennies in petrol.

    And as they are so thick when folded, I can't believe the extra space I've got inside.

    And no, that desn't mean more junk to take on the trip lol

    BTW - the third row seats have been in the garage almost since I've had the truck.

    Quick thread hijack.....looking at the LC rear seats (3rd row)...is there anyway that they could fit in the back of a Surf? (not just chucked in, but bolted/fitted).

      The third row don't bolt into the LC - there are some steel bars bolted onto the sides and hoops in the floor - the seats clip onto these because they're quick release.

      I'll measure the width of the two seats together - that'll be the issue - fabbing up some bracketry shouldn't be too hard.

      Have a look at this one for sale on ebay

            I would have thought that head height would be the biggest problem. The roof in a Surf is really low.

                ...I have seen some universal ones that are only a few inches off the floor.

                ....and it is a 3rd gen so slightly more headroom I believe.

                    Never knew donkeys liked listening to records, learn something every day. A friend of mine was a DJ too, but I recollect he played all his music for human ears.

                      That was a pathetic edit.

                        my fuel saving idea is to drive Mrs Slugs KA... I don't really fit in it, but it costs half as much as my focus!!
