Defender 2014 XS seat wear
Discussion
I'd be amazed if JLR agreed to sort this under warranty.
"Perhaps sir would consider cutting down on the pies?"
They might do it as a goodwill thing but I wouldn't hold your breath. Even after 27k miles some Defenders are total henhouses (especially those that work for a living...horsey types, shooting, that lot) so with a bit of wear on the seat yours is probably classed as pristine.

Hi , chaps , was just wondering if this is a common fault . I'm only 12 stone , slim build so not squeezing a hippo in there and the rest of the car is still pristine .I run a couple of 4x4s and usually keep them 8-10 years but never worn a seat out . It goes in for its second service on tuesday so will have a chat with them . Thanks Chris
Think about the way you get in and out of the car. Most people 'slide' their bum off the seat with a Defender.
Now think about your earlier statement: "27k of light use"... That says to me you're just using it for short journeys?
Put the two together and you've got the makings of a lot of wear on the driver's seat.

I have two fenders, a2004 xs and yes my 70 k miler has a tear. My 2009 xvs convertable so far doesn't , but it has done 12k. It does have posh recaro though!
