V Class Seats?

[chris dher]

Hi I'm after buying a v-class and need a 7 seater. I've found a 6 seater at a good price but I don't know if its possible to swop the middle 2 seats for a 3 seat row? Any ideas anyone!? Its a V220 Ambiente auto. Also any ideas on where to get seats from and how much they're likely to be? Thanks!

There are attachments for three seats in the middle section of the van, so all you have to do is buy another seat.

You should be able to find the seats on eBay, I sold a 5 individual leather seats on there for an average of £100 for each seat.

Thanks!

Cheers for that, any problems I should look out for with the v-class, heard about failed air suss on the rear and rust under the sills but anything else?

Rust is the biggest killer of these, the one I owned had just had a full strip back and respray so mine looked well.

Mine had been owned by a Mercedes mechanic so it was mechanically mint, one thing I would say is to get the gearbox oil changed immediately if there's no evidence of it ever being done; mine was a 4 speed auto and it used to hang in gears a bit until the oil was changed.

My rear suspension had already been replaced when i bought it, it has the regular springs now.
