C5 seats - are they all the same?

[Peter.N.]

I'm having a problem 'settling' into my C5 SX, if I have the seat back far enough to be comfortable, with my legs resting on the seat I have difficulty reaching the gear lever, never had this problem with the XM or the 406 which has a seat tilt adjustment, if the C5 had the same I'm sure it would be fine if I could lift the front of the seat up it would stop my legs flopping about, any suggestions?

Not sure on the SX, does the seat not go up & down? I have electric seats and you can raise or lower the front and rear of the seat interdependently.

[Peter.N.]

Yes, it goes up and down but not the front and back seperately, the 406 does, that would be ideal, maybe I need some exclusive seats.

I know, I mentioned them a couple of weeks ago and someone from here bought them! I am just hoping some will come on a bit nearer home. I was going to look at the stoke on Trent ones on our way back from Scotland in a couple of weeks but I wouldn't have had room for them in the car with two of us a German shepherd and all our luggage, so if no others come up I will have to make a special journey which will make them a bit expensive.

You could try getting hold of a set of seats already fitted to a 2.0HDi 110 C5 Exclusive

[Peter.N.]

Far to expensive - good 2.0 Hdi estate, £1000.00 or less, set of seats say £150.00, a 2.0 Hdi Exclusive £2.500.00 there is a business opportunity here somewhere I only paid £300.00 fo my 2.2Hdi and there is practically nothing wrong with it. It might even be worth putting them in that and keeping it.

Keep the 2.2 its a mans engine... get some seats for it.

[Peter.N.]
