R75 rear seats

[zola66]

Hi all,

Just some advice, dose anyone know if it is only certian models of the R75 that allow you to drop the back of the rear seats, so to extend the boot so to place longer items in so to speak.....hope this make sense.

I don't think mine does - could be wrong. I do have the armrest (ski) load facility though and mine's a 2001 model.

From the launch of the 75 the Connoisseur SE saloon had a folding rear seat, it was a £150 option on all other models.
When the facelift was introduced it was made standard on all models.

If you have a load through facility then it almost certain that you will have a folding rear seat, especially on your Connoisseur SE.
Look for two black buttons on the top of the rear seat near to each D post.

all 75's have folding seats , just some are easier to use than others
for club se upwards there are tabs either side of the top of the seats...simply depress and open
if you have club and below you will have two nylon straps that reside under the seat base...have a fish around and you will find them sometimes they hang out the back under the boot carpet....once you have found them give them a tug while pulling the seat back towards you...et voila

My previous R75 Conn with Premium Sound System had a large bass speaker in the rear just under the parcel shelf. I had it for about 3 years and am almost certain it didn't have folding rear seats. Had it done I would have known about the feature on my current vehicle.

Anyone know anything for sure about this issue?

iv'e not had the pleasure of using a 75 with a hk setup so can't comment other than maybe because of the parcel shelf sub there was no need for an opening seat.
as for non hk seats i know the methods descibed in my post to be true

Just for clarification, my 2001 connoisseur (not an SE) has the black straps at squab level rather than the tabs at the top of the backrest . So was it only SE variants that had the buttons ?
