Hello I'm Graham from North Wales

[Graham Sykes]

I'm buying the 5 seater utility. Seen it today. Picking up next week. Needs new door seals and steps. I'm keeping 110 defender. Didn't have any problems with the driving position. Just wondering is anyone's adjusted the back seats.

Hi Graham-welcome to the board and congrats on your purchase.

You need new door seals? Can you share anything with us? Some guys are having issues with their door seals collecting water.

Had me doing a double take for a moment
The 5 seat Utility in Australia looks like this and isn't available yet

I have waited 2 ½ months for Sadie steps but now no coolant pipe so cannot start the engine. J T Hughes have the vehicle.

Graham - on moving the rear seats backwards on N1 grenadiers, Iain Thomson did a series of about half a dozen little videos which could not be more helpful:

Once you start you'll want to finish the job so be aware that you will need large Torx bits. Most standard Torx sets only go up to 4 mm (i.e. T40).

Iain explains that you will need ordinary T40 and T45 plus also a security T50 bit. The latter has a central pin. I found that Torx bit difficult to source. I got mine from bigspannerman on eBay. Finally, be aware that the latest Torx bits have 5 splines but you want original Torx with 6 splines.

So I've got mine ready but am only at the 'signed contract' stage so don't have a vehicle yet.

Hi @Woodstove, what part of S Cumbria are you from, just a curious as a Walneyite of 40 years before moving over the border.

Hi, I am Michael from News South Wales!* Welcome aboard.

*Because Captain Cook thought the Blue Mountains looked like the mountains from Wales. So he called it New South Wales.

Oh dear, having just joined the Forum Stu is going to throw me out for telling porkies: I’ve put my location as South Cumbria UK because it’s more meaningful even though I’m a mile south of the Cumbria border.
