Hi Gaffer,
Am I right in thinking you want to replace the F15 rear seat with an E70 7 seat kit, ie the middle row and the two small folding seats? If so I don't think they will!
I had a 7 seater E70 for 10 years and recently changed to a 5 seater F15.
The F15 has fixed rear seats ie they can't be moved forward and backwards. Under the luggage space is a large well that could be used for a space saver spare wheel.
The E70 middle row of seats has a lever that allows them to be moved forwards and to tilt them to allow access to the rear seats. There ae runners bolted to the floor that allow these movements. The rake of the backrest can also be adjusted.
The two folding rear seats fit into the space where the spare wheel well would be in a 5 seater and bolt to the floor with their anchorage bracket The baseboard of the luggage area is different to allow the folding seats to be raised. In addition there are special seat belt anchorages for the 2 rear seats in the pillars next to the tailgate, and another hot/cold air outlet between the seats.
So to make the change you would need all the parts, and I'm not sure if they fit directly!
I humbly stand corrected if I'm wrong - there may be someone one who has done it!
