Has anyone had a leather seat conversion done?

Looks very nice.

Probably not worth doing on my 'S'.

Would probably be better if I swapped the seats from a scrapped HSE, and get the arm rests at the same time.

I would be interested in this. I have noticed this for the first time today - my previous vehicle had them and I tended to drive lazily with left elbow on arm rest and a couple of fingers from left hand steadying the wheel - my S spec doesn't have them. Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Depends what model the picture is, hard to tell if the front seat is electric or not.
Bit of a waste of time if this is an SE or HSE.
So if it is an S do they add the armrests?

Also didn't someone post that you can't just add electric seats as there is no supply for them in lower spec cars.

Have sent for more info anyway.

My S Spec was leathered up by the dealer as a demonstrator before I got her. I'm told it cost roughly £1,500 but it was done locally in Kent.

I'm very pleased with the result. Wanted leather, didn't want to pay SE prices! Not bothered about armrests as the centre console is quite convenient for my elbow.

As for being worth it on an S spec - as well as having the pleasure of them during ownership it should help a bit with residual & resale. With the Disco 2 an XS is always more desirable than a GS for no other reason than the XS has leather trim.

Leather on an S

My 'S' came with heated leather seats (But manual operation) done via dealer by a company near Dover who do lots of trims for Jaguar and Land Rover. Harwoods of Edenbridge probably have info.

Very nicely done, costs about £1500

Sounds like the same firm who did mine. Also arranged by dealer and also described as 'near Dover'

As you say, it's an excellent finish and all 7 seats covered.
