Enough of those fancy modern indicators!
Bring back wind down windows and proper signals.
I'd be happy if everyone gave a signal, of any sort, to let others know that they're turning. Indicator use seems to be increasingly rare these days. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

D5 not quite so ‘premium’ in the middle row
SWMBO considers it a “ joke” and I must say I have to agree (as always )
Shame cos it was a great spec and lovely colour

You’ve obviously got the middle seats pulled right up against the front seats, giving row 3 extra leg room.

Do they also adjust up and down? Have to admit the seat does look rather low to the floor.D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

I was about to ask if the process of sliding the seat forward was also responsible for moving the seat squab downwards by around 6”! 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

Yes, you can see clear air behind the back of the seat and is the front seat pushed back as well?
There is a huge space for the second row normally.

I take it you knew that the rear seats slide a good 10"s ....this is clearly in the foremost position 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Yes, we played about with the seat configuration but couldn’t find the height adjuster for the middle row seat squabs
How can anyone with teenage kids or adult passengers think that this is “premium”?
