Go to Halfords and get on of those seat massage things, I've had 5 operations on my back after a accident down the mines some years ago, they are £20 and plug into your Ciggie lighter in the car, they have 4 programmes for you to set as you please. It made me a bit easier.

Yeah Halfords are good for things like that.

If you speak to your GP he will put you in touch with your local Occ Health Dept who in turn should provide you with device suitable to your requirements or; give you the address of various companies who specialise in these areas.

A number of years ago I had trouble with my back, it seemed that it all started with the left leg operating the clutch, you know the longer you work the clutch seemed to get harder to push down.Now on auto box

I was told by occupational health worker who I had in the cab that the secret is to have thigh support, so now my seat is adjusted with the adjuster which lifts the front part of the seat supporting the thighs and taking pressure off, don't get the problems now

Had a look at your website Greg, some of those seats look superb, when you say they fit in the TX2, have you fitted any in those vehicles I live in a City where the speed bumps are so prevelant they are starting to cause problems.


softer rear springs may be better in that case. with a soft seat you may be tempted to go faster over the bump and kill your suspension. or knock out the passenger as their heads hit the roof :)

A good mechanical suspension seat will absorb the speed bumps and if you set it quite stiff it will take out all the large bumps but not bounce all the time over the small ones therfore you will not push the vehicle any faster and upset the passengers. The suspension seat are great but you can still feel the road, they do not isolate you completely. Average price for mechanical seat with high back, height and tilt adjustment, adj lumbar support, back recline, sliderails for fore/aft and taxi brackets is £ 360.00 + VAT ( free delivery in UK mainland)

Three years ago the seat in my Metro was getting a bit lumpy. So I thought it was time to renew it.
Looking around the usual Cab places they were asking prices from £200 for a second hand one to £400+ for new.
I ended up in Halfords, saw a Corbeau GT rally seat. I measured it and it would fit. Cost me £150 including a pump-up back. Still very comfy.
No hassle fron CO.
