Can anyone help out here please?
I thought I'd seen a similar topic a while ago but I can't find anything using the search function.
Anyway, my wife struggles to reach the pedals even when using a couple of cushions which isn't ideal. Has anyone modified the runners to allow additional forward adjustment?

Just done it on mine mate. Basically, you just drill 4 new holes in the floor a bit further forward !

On the 2.5's the seats never fully went back to their furthest point on the runners as they always hit the firewall first. I undid the bolts underneath the car(they tap into the seat) and took the seat out. I then set it back to it maximum and then put it back in the car about 5mm forward of the firewall. Now, although i've technically moved the seat forward, it still goes back as far as it used to.

that Joust's not all he's cracked up to be mate hehe
