You have to modify the track. I did mine and gained a few more inches in leg room. Makes all the difference in the world. I'm 6'5". I also relocated the emergency brake to the other side of the console for a little more comfort. Got tired of my thigh being pressed up against it.

My 2003 TD5 ES has power up and down seats and steering wheel tilt. I run at full height on the seat but I'm only 5'7" tall and with the tilt steering wheel in the lowest postion so I can see all the dash instruments OK. Mind you I need a step to get into the truck

The RRS is the same so is the Pajero but I prefer the extra height when driving.

PS. the LR is designed around the average heights for males and females which I am led to believe is 5'8" or 5'9" so if you are 6'2" or over you are well above average height in their estimation.

You're right Abran, they were so illiterate in Hartlepool they hung a monkey after trying it as a French spy. I haven't read your wiki attachment but the story is true. Mind you obesity here is rampant and they may be short but by god (whoever he is) they are rotund (PC says I mustn't say fat) but obesity rules here. Having said that, after visiting the UK recently they didn't appear too 'slimline' there either. I blame McDos.

FACT: McDos is the fastes expanding fast food chain in France in the world after the US but judging by what I witnessed in the UK they seem/appear to consume more McDos than anyone per capita.
