Changing Peugeot boxer front bench seat for single

[Jamesh]

Anyone know if VW T4/T5 (180 base) will fit in a 2002 Boxer Pioneer?
There's a guy selling what were rear swivel seats (single and double, with integral belts) in a VW that I fancy for front in my Boxer

I fitted t5 seats to my old Renault master van.

Worked a treat with swivels as it meant that being slightly narrower to still had back to front access just!

Bolting down wasn't too hard either.

Cheers James

For some reason my iPad will not copy and paste the link, but go to products, Ducato/relay swivel seat page and then look at the photos underneath, mine is the light coloured board showing photos with the swivel in different positions.

Thanks - found it.
I'm picking up my (new to me) Boxer at the weekend. Will do some measuring and drop you a line. We're not a million miles apart
cheers

Yes that was my thinking too - need the gap still. Cheers

No problem, just waiting for seat supplier to give me a delivery date, should be in the next 3 weeks

Hi,
are you still interested in my swivel double seat, it’s coming out of my van tomorrow ?

Otterspotter Yes quite possibly. I'll drop you a line

That’s a great deal, can you remember who the seller was? I’ve looked and looked and can’t find anything like that on eBay

I'm having exactly the same problem, like gold dust and mega expensive

You should be able to find a drivers seat more easily and cheaply, and fit that as your passenger one.

 

[Veestar]

I didn't realise you could do that? Is it only the arm that is in a different place then?

You would need to check for your vehicle that the seat base fixings are the same, in our 2018 boxer they are so it’s just the arm is in a different place, the seat belt receiver needed swapping from one side to the other but other than that it was the same.

Hi all, we’ve recently bought a Peugeot boxer 2014 L3H2 which was previously an ambulance/patient transport. When we got it it had no passenger seat only a wheelchair storage cage which we’ve replaced with a front bench seat, but due to it being a fixed seat with no recline and also because we want to be able to walk through to the back we want to change it for a single passenger or even a swivel seat. The problem is they seem to be like gold dust, have been searching high and low and can’t find anything reasonably priced. There are plenty of swivel captains seats for other vehicles at much lower prices, but is it safe to install a seat not intended for our vehicle? Also the bench seat doesn’t seem to come off it’s base so looks like we would have to buy a base as well. I would love to hear from anyone here who has had this problem with their Boxer and solved it, and also if anyone knows of somewhere other than eBay to find seats at a good price?

We picked up a couple of Kia Sedona captains seats. A chap in Newark deals in them. Perfect condition and only £160 for the pair. They are really comfy. We also sourced a single seat frame to replace the double. Plenty available. To finish off a pair of swivel bases that are about £110 each.
Van has been a camper for 5 years now and the MoT testers are totally happy with the safety.

Years ago I went the other way, swapped a single for a dual as wanted our child to ride up front with us. Had to make up four 1/4" plates so I could move the tubular support frame over to the left. This meant we could now get between the seats to go into the habitation area. One of the good things about the Peugeot/Fiat/Citroen base vehicles is the RH handbrake and dash mounted gearlever leaving a clear area between the two seats. Refitted the original seat when I sold the van.

Can you remember the name of his business/ address at all please? Just bought a Ducato to convert and wanting to swap double passenger seat without the crazy expense. I live in Sleaford so Newark is ideal!

Thanks,
Dave

Hi , I have recently bought a Boxer 2022 I am in the process of converting and I want to pull out the driver seat and the dual passenger bench seat and install just two captains chairs. The guy that is doing the work is worried that the computer system wont function correctly as the system is setup to detect three seats and not two.

Has any one had any experience in pulling out the bench seat in a boxer and adding in one and have had any issues with computer system?

Cheers Pabs

Hi Pabs
I changed a bench seat (2014 Boxer) for a single and just ignored the seatbelt electrical connection with no issues. The drivers seat is a single on a swivel and still functions (seatbelt sensors) fine.

Hey Steve , thank you for the reply , when say ignored the seatbelt electrical connection with no issues , are they still there or you kept the cables connected and cable tied to the side and all good ?

Or you have alerts on the dash going off?

Cheers Pabs

Hi Pabs

The connector is just disconnected and left as is with no issues. I didn't chop any wires etc. The drivers seat still works with an alarm warning if you don't connect the seatbelt but the single passenger seat develops no warning and as far as any dashboard alerts go everything is fine.

Hey Steve thanks for that intel, did you have to go get the seat certified ? and was there any issues?

No certification. Simply bought a single seat and bolted it on. This was in 2016 so don't know if rules and regulations have changed. The van is now registered with DVLA as a motor caravan and although I had to provide photographic evidence of all the changes and modifications none of it had to be independently certified.??
