Hi all.

Beyond telling dvla and insurance, what are the issues I would expect to encounter if I wanted to fit a side facing bench seat in the back of my 90? It is currently a pickup fitted with an ifor stock top. Would I need belts, would I need to convert it to either full soft or hard top? It's a 98 300tdi registered as light utility.

Cheers.

I've read on other forums that some insurers are declining to insure vehicles with side facing seats in the rear so check with your insurer that they will still cover you.

Be the insurance as it may I'm starting to need more seats. I refuse to have a 4 door as they are too big. I also still need to put stuff in the boot so I'm not fitting forward facing seats in as I would have no space left. So I'm mostly wanting to know  if its legal to have seats in a pickup with a fixed back fitted and then if i need seat belts.

Jake:
I know they are a bit expensive but could you not use forward facing seats?
