SEAT COVERS. Just got freelander2 HSE with ivory leather seats. Will be driving it in my dirty work clothes. Could anybody recommend decent seat covers. Seats have armrests but could just put them up. Only really need drivers side. The land rover ones look good but at over £100 seem a bit pricey.

Hi

I bought a pair from company called Inka, good quality and i heard they make the genuine LR ones but not sure how true that is. Lots on flebay though.

Cheers for that. I'll av a look.

I have a set of Britpart black covers, the fit is not perfect (a little baggy in places) but they do a very good job for the money. Have cut outs for the arm rests and even a cover for them so they don't feel left out. Matching rears are also available should you wish to outfit the whole vehicle. Compliant for all of your airbags too, which not a lot of the cheaper options seemed to be when I was looking.

Another vote for the inka seat covers, a good fit with zipped map pocket access and separate arm covers.
They are well made too, have been on for 2 years and still look like new.

Doesn't Britpart advise that their own brand seat covers are not suitable for use with leather seats?

Isn't it only the rears which aren't for leather seats? As I don't have either leather or rear sets I have never checked until now. The fronts do not say anything about not suitable for leather.

Britpart say "unsuitable for leather seats" on their website for the rear cover but don't appear to mention it for the fronts. Most of the Britpart resellers seem to mention it for both front and rear though.

Presumably something to do with the way the seat cover material interfaces with leather.
