Try item 330239185772 on eBay. Not commonly used in Land Rovers because they are so expensive but reputedly some of the best seats money can buy.

Vinyl seats are a good idea or a good set of covers will do the trick. I tend to get filthy no matter how careful I am and the cab always gets caked in mud from getting in and out.
I have standard 90 vinyl jobbies and these are good and comfy enough for off roading. Also the removable seat base means they can be rinsed off easily if needed.

Managed to pick up some 2nd hand (but decent)vinyl seats as OE and realised just how sh*gged the original ones were as I now sit about 4" higher!
Vinyl definately the way to go, and at least with the OE seats the bases can be lifted out and hosed off.
(TvrMoneypit)Carpets in the interior!! Your be putting one of those magic trees in their next! Best to get yourself some rubber matting and cut it to shape, then it wont suck up the water and you can lift it out to hose off.
