Hiya
Not sure if there's a link but if I can do it, anyone can :lol:
put seat flat, remove the plastic covers (mine just pulled off) then use a socket wrenchy thing to undo the bolts, there's 4 on each seat in two sets of two, then remove seat :)

i'd like to know how easy it would be to install a "weekender" side rear kitchen unit. i could remove one seat and still have enough seats for the 3 kids combined with kitchen unit.

Hi
Very easy, its exactly what I've done. I got a small mini kitchen unit from ebay, removed the rear seats and it slotted straight on to the bolts used by the seat.
Pics here just scroll down a bit to see mine, its the one with the red kettle http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 5&start=90

Mine came with a storage unit for the opposite side, but I initially didn't plan to use it (was going to keep one of the split rear seats in-situ) but I put it in to see how it looked and its still there. Easy to remove though should I need to put a seat back in..and the kitchen is also easily removed if I need to put all seats back in.
