Yeah Chris has it, he's going to look it over next week and give me a call. Seems like a stand up guy.

Re: Interior heater trouble

Thanks for the advice guys. I survived the night so you can all stop worrying haha

Re: Any tall folks made driving more comfortable?

Re: Any tall folks made driving more comfortable?

Yeah, the drivers seat does rotate which I can't see the need for as my knees are too long to sit in it when its facing the passenger seat anyway, didn't think of that, cheers pal

Any tall folks made driving more comfortable?

I wouldn't say I'm particularly tall however I feel like a giant when sat in the drivers seat of my new T25 Leisure Drive, anyone out there have any tips to make it a little more comfortable to fit inside.

I have the chair as far back as it will go on the rails (I'm not a moron)

Thanks :)
