Up until now I've been pretty happy with the driving position but have not tried to re-position the pedal box. I assume the "standard" position is the middle one and it can be adjusted nearer and further away from the driver's seat? My seat is currently hard back against the roll cage and I'm considering moving the peadals forward to allow me to set the seat slightly forward to clear the roll bar. Has anyone tried to do this and if so is it easy and how much does the pedal box move by?

It moves a lot. We got our dealer to do it as we are both vertically challenged. Basically it has drilled fixings for it to move into to. I think you just need to lift the carpet.

If I remember rightly there was quite a few settings. But alas I am away so can not pop out to the garage to take a look.

Being a "short arxe" I moved the pedel box nearer to the seat, pig of a job as you need small hands to get the bolts back in place (took me 2 hours). There are 3 positions and factory fit is in the middle.

If you look underneath the car where the pedal box locates you will see the pre drilled holes in the metal plate, you will need to drill the floor (from underneath) to relocate the bolts.

Movement up or down will give you an extra inch either way, and I am told an extra inch matters!!

Thanks. I think your answers pretty well match up. Sounds like it may be worth getting the dealer to do the job though, I don't fancy drilling up through the floor.
