    Hi UK newbie here. Although had a Prius T-spirit for more than 2 years (which I am very pleased with) and have posted lots of threads on the English Prius Website, I am hoping with this question I will have more luck. I am looking for a manual pump up "bladder" lumbar support for the driver's seat. I hope that this will cure the back pain I suffer from when I travel long distance. I wonder if any one has tackled this problem in this way and if they have, can they tell me where they obtained the lumbar support and are they pleased with it.

    Thanks,

    Stompe:)

    you may have better luck with answers if you post this in the general forum.
    We're a bunch of newbies and speaking for myself, have NO clue what you're asking!
    Sorry ! Hope someone else can help!

    Hi stompe,

    Where abouts in the UK are you? It's great to see you on the forum. We're based in Bristol and have also owned a Prius for nearly two years. Our first one is a 2007 model which we got at the start of 2007 and our second Prius is a 2005 we purchased a few months ago second-hand.

    Regarding your bladder... errr... seat bladder. You'll find that it is possible to put an adjusting bladder in the car. The person you may like to speak to is darryl at http://evnut.com/ . He's on this forum too and if you link surf correctly you'll find details of how he installed lumbar support in his 'gas guzzler'.

    Good luck!

    Nikki.

    Hi Nikki,

    I live in Essex. The link you provided was just what the doctor ordered for my bladder! Thank you for your reply and helping me with my query.
