Had same issue on my 07 plate Audi TT, they change the seat squab and advised new squab had an updated backing that stretched, certainly made a difference and looked perfect from there on.

My car is nearly 1 year old and has done 36k miles and drivers seat still looks like new, always used gliptone leather cleaner and conditioner every 8-10 weeks but do think the squab is different to a loan car I had as a trial in October 2011, it was a dynamic with 2000miles on and after a week the seat was looking like yours.

Holy Crap! Someone in the UK with a good dealer! Is he American?

It took a while but i have had my leather on the front seats replaced by land rover, they rejected the claim 3 times but hats off to the dealer he got pushy and got it done. Smile

Here are the pictures, whilst i expect leather to wear and I keep being told it is a natural product, this does not look like natural wear to me, especially after 6,000 miles.

Must admit if you look at the Land Rover UK site at the used Evoques, most pics of the seats (that you can see) of the drivers seats look like yours. Mine has doen 8,00 miles now amd looks similar. My last car was a BMW Z4 E89 and the seats on that went little baggy. Worst after you had been sitting on them and they were warm. Seemed to straighten out a bit over night. I guess it a natural product. Too tight and the leather would start cracking over time.

Shouldn't do that with only 8k miles. My 2003 Range with 98k plus miles, doesn't look as bad, but close. Some cushion sag yes, but... my Range has a "BMW" leather, though.

I have 19000 miles on my Plus Pack seats and the seats don't look like that even after an 8 hour drive. The car is still under warranty, take it to the dealer and ask for a new set under warranty

First post here - been hanging about for a while - I have a similar issue after 11k miles.
Pentland said at first service that they sent photos to LR and they didn't think it was abnormal. XFFT, would you mind taking a photo of your seats and posting it please? I also have the dynamic plus pack so I'd like to compare if possible.
Thanks

So about 9 months later and this issue is still not resolved:

It has been nothing but a nightmare.

They have tried changing the leather twice, in turn damaging my car. They want to take it to the factory now to do it for a third time!!!

I am absolutely fuming, I am appalled and disgusted by their customer service, I have written several in depth emails and none of the points have been addressed in any substance.

About to contact a solicitor to launch proceedings if they fail to give me any substantial response shortly.
