Thanks, they are nuts in The Netherlands, the breakers as 300-400 Euro for a worn seat! I used to buy good ones two years back for 75 Euro. I have found a company that sells new foam for 89,- for the driver seat, lower piece.
I also have insignia seats which I was thinking of putting in my Vivaro. The only thing I was iffy about is the cable that goes into the seats. Would I be risking an airbag light?
The only cables on my Vivaro seats goes to the seat belt pre-tensioners. If this is disconnected it will more than likely bring up an air bag light. If I do it (eventually?) I'll use the Vivaro pre-tensioners on the new seats. Cheers Larcs 👍
I finally installed the Insigia drivers seat in my Vivaro. It took some modification but its much better than my old seat. I had to cut the brackets off the insignia seat that used to hook into the ground of the car. I then removed the metal box the vivaro seat rests on to allow me to line the rails up correctly. The insignia seat rails were about half an inch too wide for the box on both sides so I made 4 brackets from flat steel which made it all fit. I transferred the old seatbelt tensioner and seatbelt clasp to the new seat (old bolts fit the insignia) and all done. It was fiddly, but worth it. I have pics of the mods if anyone needs them
Hi, no the insignia seats won't bolt straight in, I would have had to modify some bits. I got them when I was going to have 2 single seats in the front, and they were free😁. Cheers Larcs 👍
Hi, I'm trying to take out a double passenger seat in my Vivaro. The bolts don't hold the socket it keeps slipping out, but if I go to tighten it more it's fine. Did you have any problems taking it out, what size torx did you use on the 5 bolts. Thanks John
Hi John, mine are T50 torx. They were tight but not a problem. Perhaps someone has damaged them previously? Good luck getting them out🤞. Cheers Larcs 👍
Thanks, but I'm not going to sell it yet, just in case. You never know, things change, it might turn into a camper build? Unlikely, but like I said 'you never know' 😉. Cheers Larcs 👍
Thanks, I'm not going to sell an bits ATM until I know what is definitely happening to the Vivaro? Things change and don't want to have to 're-buy' stuff. Thanks again though👍. Cheers Larcs

Wow, that's expensive for used seats. I looked at new foam but decided to repair instead.
Cheers Larcs 👍
You can buy just the covers. I did and it was only £30. Got the fitting on one of my videos on me channel. Hope this helps in the future.
Thanks for the info 👍.
Cheers Larcs.
Where you found the covers?

How much do you want for your swivel base larcs?

I dont blame you, i keep toying with the idea of a single seat for my build but still not sure
@@ourvanviv8858 Same, but the double is so handy, especially with no back seats.
What seats will go straight into a vivaro without modifying? Cheers
#drivers seat?
I don't know, sorry.
Someone told me Audi tt driver seat is the perfect one. I haven't tried yet
Have you sold the swing plate yet?
Not yet, we might be camping in it later this year so don't want to sell it yet👍.
Cheers Larcs
I’m looking for 2 single seats for my trafic do you still have the 2 single seats ?
Sorry, I'm keeping hold of it just incase I change my mind.
Cheers Larcs 👍
@@LarcsWorkshop that’s cool worth asking though 👍👍
@@BrothersGrim2012 No problem 👍
A bit of a nightmare doing this job, I've put my findings in a video on my channel.
Nice, I'll have a look 👍.
Cheers Larcs
