How to make more leg space in the pasenger footwell
New here, and already have a question...
I have a Disco 2 (2002 - pre face lift). Bought to do up over time and use on our livery yard and smallholding, and because I live at the foot of wee hill in Scotland.
Husband is 6' with long legs and a wonky hip. He's finding the size of the transmission tunnel is causing his leg/hip to twist. I've just had the, what seems to me anyway, bright idea of either putting in longer seat rails or moving them back, if either is possible? And, if either can be done, does it impact on the location of the seatbelt?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I used to have a severe pain after I drove for a couple hours but after I modified the seat rail to allow some more rearward motion it has significantly helped. I think the main problem is the vehicle was only half way thought through for having drivers on the NAS side.

Body fit for larger drivers
While adjusting the pedal position helped me, I do still plan on following the advice of Sandman and others in the thread.

There might be some confusion here because most members of this forum are in the states so our passenger side is your driver side.
Here is a good article on extending travel for the seat rails:
