seat swap?.

[Snails Pace Ste]

Sorry if this is in the wrong section but here goes. I own a Moncayo 765, based on a 2009 Fiat Ducato chassis. I have just returned from France on a 16 day tour (we beat the deadline at a high price but that's another story). My problem was with the standard ducato seats,. They are TERRIBLE. There are 2 metal rods that run across the base just under the material and after a couple of hours driving i could barely stand because my lower back and thighs were so painfully numb. Has any body swapped their seats for others and if so any model recommendations and problems i may come across swapping mine. Also i seem to have lost the tail piece of my exhaust along the way it was clamped on with a substantial "U" bolt, which is still there but i can't seem to find any for sale online. any and all information will be gratefully accepted. Thanks in advance. Steve.

Fair choice here.

Can you not fit some extra foam under the cushion? The seat cover usually come off pretty easily.

Thanks for the reply but already did that after day 1 with a piece of 2" thick underlay but not happy with that as it made the back rest worse. Been driving HGV's for 30 years and never had anything as bad as these.

Any Fiat Ducato seat should fit - 2006 onward. Find a newish one and refit original covers.
I've never had a problem with any of my Ducato's.

I have a 2011 Peugeot Boxer which uses the same seats as the Ducato - longest distance driven so far without stopping is 565 miles (needed fuel, otherwise I would have carried on)

My seats are standard fit, but they are the ones with lumber & front/rear height adjustment - they have also been covered with breathable vinyl by a local upholsterer, but that was for cosmetic and ease of cleaning rather than comfort

Aftermarket seats????

How about HGV seats or are they too large?

What about Volvo seats best seats out there imho.

Problem is finding them without electric adjustment.
