Hi again David.

I'm 6'5" and always thought the combination of Disco seat and high windscreen line gave good visibility.

Am I understanding the question correctly?

yes, I think so. I'm too high up and seem to be looking down onto the bonnet more than I expected.

Ofcourse, the cd changer is under the seat so I think this idea is flawed.

I'll just have to crouch down if i want to see further than 100 yrds or so up the road.

Is it a series 1 or 2 discovery?
 As I am 6'5"and 19 stone and in my discovery 2, I sat to close to the steering wheel . I needed 2 inches more leg room and with a little cutting and removal of the rivets, I now have more than enough leg room and also I have raised the front of the seat by 10mm and this has made it even better . as for lowering the seat yes  it can be lowered at the back only, so if you lowered the  back and raised the front and moved the seat back by 2 inches then you will end up with a very comforable car. If you want to know more about the mod just ask me .  If I put the seat right back on the stops I cant reach the steering wheel.

Guardian.:
you will lower yourself by 3 or 4 inches if you take the tyres off! :lol:  :lol:

It's a late series 1 98 ES.

I know, I need a new avatar.
