bolt positions are exacly the same as far as i know, also i have seen folder seats in a touring, which when u fold down actually increases the load space...something to think about :cool:

Swap the seat backs over, passenger to driver's, and vice versa. Takes minutes, and moves the worn sides of the seat backs to the middle of the car.
There was a thread a short while ago about ADDING the folding mechanism to Touring passenger seats, to be able to get longer loads in.

They are not that bad the divers one has gone through but i can get a cover from the stealers Ԛ£85 so just waiting on the price for the seats.Can you change the cover yourself or is it a job for the Upholsterers.

Covers are easy enough to change - just a bit fiddly and time consuming.
