Drivers seat, increase hieght

Hi, I have a 2014 with manual height adjustment on drivers seat. What I find is when it's on the highest setting the seat slopes forward. I would like to be able to raise the seat up, does anyone know if there is a suitable kit available to help with this issue?
Realise this is a bit of an odd request for information. Loving the car in every other aspect.

I too would be interested in this.

Also why when the drivers seat is 'pumped up high' does it go down during a long journey, or over night. ??

Not really a odd request, it has been asked in the past. I Don't know if a kit exists but here http://www.freel2.com/forum/post305866.html#305866 Dan_NL posted how a raised the seat by 2cm and moved it backwards by 10cm.

Thank you for your post. Looks as though I need a good fabricator to take on the job. Surprised Land Rover never addressed this design fault on the later models.

Yes my seat gradually drops down, did not have this problem with my 2007 model that had electric adjusters for the seat.

I had the seat problem with the GS and it is caused by your body weight pressing on the lever on side of seat ( manual ) when you are getting in & out of the vehicle.
haven't had a problem with the HSE (electric) hope this explains the phenomenon of the lowered seat Thumbs Up If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.
