How can I increase the height of my seat to improve visibility?

The driver’s seat is very low on my Jaguar S-Type. I am only 5’4” and can hardly see over the bonnet. Any suggestions?

The problem is probably being caused by a heavily worn driver's seat. Consider buying a foam-filled comfort cushion with an anti-slip backing and adjustable straps that will secure it to the seat. Halford's sell them for around £30.

If you are considering replacing the car, then something like the Toyota Yaris might be better for your needs: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/toyota/yaris-and-yar.../

Both passenger and driver seat modules have failed on my Jaguar but the parts are no longer supplied by Jaguar. Does anyone repair them or supply replacements? Both seats are stuck in one position.
