1998 seat swap
Another seat thread!
Is it just me that thinks the standard peugeot cloth seats are pants?
My120K miles R reg 2.1 estate seems to have a really un supportive drivers seat, the passengers one is not 'too' bad but its still not great when compared to other car seats.
is there an alternative seat i can fit from another model that will bolt straight in?
Im not bothered about it matching as i have covers on them all the time and i can put the original back in when i come to sell it.
Last resort would the passengers seat fit in the drivers position?
Thanks

Re: 1998 seat swap
I guess so. Maybe your seats have collapsed? I think the seatbelt pretensioner is part of the seat so maybe you won't be able to swap them, you could always try of course.locoboy wrote:Is it just me that thinks the standard peugeot cloth seats are pants?

Re: 1998 seat swap
Get yourself some seats from a 406 exec. They appear on ebay from time to time; the lumbar adjustment on the drivers seat is bliss

Re: 1998 seat swap
D8? I've bought 3 D8 execs and they've all had adjustable lumbar support, even my '98 with the new-style deckchair seatsmbell666 wrote:My 99 exec never had lumbar support adjustment! pretty much the only thing it dint have that i would have liked!
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
Re: 1998 seat swap
Mine was D9
, obviously something else they messed up going from d8 to d9!

Re: 1998 seat swap
My previous Pug was a 309 GLD, K reg.
That had an adjustable lumbar support.
I was rather surprised and disappointed that my D9 406 which I got recently didn't have it.
I'm also wondering about how to upgrade my seats.
I bought an x-police car (100.000miles), so I rather think my seats have collapsed under the extra weight of all the gear they carry
