I'm just a hair over 6 foot, and I find there's barely enough leg room. My biggest issue is that I've had to change the way I sit... my left knee and my steering wheel keep getting friendly. Not a big deal on the road, but on the trail, it gets painful when things get bumpy.

 

I find the Disco comfy, but I am 5'7" My wife is 5'2" so maybe that is why. I have thought about trying to get Range Rover Seats in there if I find some in junkyard. As I understand the rear bolt in, I am guessing I would have to somehow fanagle the seats onto the current frame.

 

I am 5'8" BTW. To further explain, I find that my leg never is in relaxed position, so it's muscle fatigue I guess. In other cars, my own and rentals (I travel a lot for work), I never have this problem. The way I drive is to lean my right leg/foot toward the center console and pivot on the heel to use the pedal. So, perhaps either the pedal is not close enough to the console or the angle/lever action of the pedal is different than other cars?

 

I'm now convinced that the pedal tension is not strong enough, so I can't rest my foot on it like other cars. BTW, I've tried every seat position possible with no relief. Drove our Sienna the other day and no problems ... get back into the disco and immediate discomfort in the right leg.

So, has anyone replaced the spring on the gas pedal assembly? Or, know where to buy a new one? Also, if a new one isn't strong enough either, then perhaps I could put both on together for more tension?

This problem is bad enough that I will need to dump the disco if I can't find a solution.

All help is appreciated

 

now you've planted the subconscious seed that will forever grow.

At 6'2" 250lbs I find the gap between the steering wheel & the door panel tight. Cant keep a wallet in my back pocket for long. Otherwise legroom is fine. I find the pedal tension way too heavy compared to my other vehicles but it does act as a good foot rest & also helps with my lead foot.

 

Good news for you guys....... The rate of fuel consumption will keep you from getting to comfortable, as you will be allowed to stretch your legs every so often.....not to mention, a thinner wallet

 

I don't know about the DII in particular, but most cars have the accelerator return spring on the throttle body. It can be replaced or supplemented, but one should be aware of how critical that component is and plan accordingly.

I haven't had a return spring break, but I have had an accelerator cable fail (not a Land Rover) at the worst possible time (crossing oncoming traffic).

 

I'm 6'2" 140lb. I have *just* enough room with the seat scooted all the way back and as far up as it ill go without my legs in the steering wheel. That is also not with the steering wheel all the way up. Most of the way down I believe. I also can not have a wallet in my back pocket; as a matter of fact I have stopped carrying one in my back pocket all together. I have found that, for me, I am most comfortable with my right foot leaned against the transmission tunnel to make up for the soft pedal, it provides just enough friction for me to be comfortable without driving along at 90 mph because my foot is 3/4 of the way to the floor.

Replacing that spring could be a doozy of a job. Perhaps you could just wrap it around an extra turn? I'm not really sure without looking at it. I am sure there is something that you could do, I'm just not really sure what that would be. I'd recommend you try leaning your foot against the transmission tunnel and then if that doesn't help then you try messing with the throttle body spring. Best of luck!

 

My complaint about driver comfort is the tilt steering wheel. It is a joke, it only moves up and down about 2 inches.
