The seats in models S and basic are a bit to be desired. I am having a battle with LR over them. Generally pretty pathetic. Look and feel as if they are out of a 1987 Ford Granada

Funny you should mention this... I have noticed a slight rocking in the base of the drivers seats which varies from noticeable to hardly noticeable depending on the height set.
As mine had its 1st 15K service today I mentioned it (as you would). They said all was fixed and secured firmly.
I guess its normal.
Not really that bad to notice 98% of the time.
Find the seat comfort fine. I do suffer from lower back pain if not sitting or sleeping comfortably and the DISCO3 has always left me feeling relaxed on exit - even after driving 300 miles.
Mind you... had a 1275 mini many many years ago that had a drivers seat that was only fixed on one side... great fun on tight corners or islands !!

PS. It feels sooo good to be sensible again

Its that sensible moment I suppose, but it breaks the ice and gets us all going. Viva la sheep  .
The seat is an issue I have and others have on the 'non' electric ones. I am getting somewhere with mine, but I don't think I will get a seat as good as the electric model at the end.

Agree the leather motorised seats are far more comfortable.
