Seats with arm rests?

[TimRoland]

Were any Terrano's made with front seats with arm rests? Seems on a trip, would be very handy.

Yeh lol, that was my first gripe with Terrano

I got top of the range t2:lol and no arm rests hope that helps.

You shouldn't need arm wrests. Remember, Both hands on the wheel:lol

All I can say is I have done more than one million miles in all sorts of vehicles mainly heavy trucks and never needed or wanted an arm rest, alert and ready all of the time, you start to relax is when you start to become vulnerable to risk, I only had one accident in all those miles and that was because an object came through the windscreen and knocked me out, I was doing 50 mph on the M1 in Northampton 32 tons of motor hit a bridge support, the marks can be seen today, how do I know? well my 4 year old daughter was in the cab with me and she said later "a bird came through the window and hit daddy" I was slumped across the steering wheel when my wife woke up, there was nothing she could do, but we all survived with only some severe bruising, driving is a serious job and no time for relaxing, Rick

Sounds like a mod waiting to happen.

Holy crap glad you were ok. Back in 2009 I was out with my mate and his dad in their ancient landrover that had a fortrak engine. We were behind a gritter. Windscreen blew in. We were ok but the shopping by our feet got grit and glass in it:doh

 

[briggie]

just to add to this debate .... my bighorn has folding arm rests , but i hardly ever use them , as rick says they put you in far too much of a relaxed frame of mind for driving , in my humble opinion

 

[firebobby]

Well my van has them and I use them as much as possible, I was looking at these on the bay...260866256227, but they won't fit my car as the drivers seat has the lumber lever by the gear stick and that's the side I want one

 

[christof30]

What about raising the centre console?

problem is, then the gear gaiters won't sit right and the handbrake would be hard to use

 

[christof30]

I just meant the bit that opens between the seats, i should have said extend maybe.

Ahh ok then:lol that could work.
