Under the same circumstances I would verify that the frontal adjustment on
the seat (the wheel) is turned as far as it goes. Apart from that I would
consider that long driving stints have the same impact on the body as long
long plane flights.

If all else fails you might consider a memory seat in the next car.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Cool lateral thinking, but wallet is on the right hand side.... and
virtually empty!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Tried the wheel fully up and fully down. Accept it is a problem with me
rather than the car, just don't look forward to the next 90,000 miles
before I can change it.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

If all else fails - put the seat in out of the old Mercedes or a similar one

I bought a c class 2001 model and had massive back ache problems .

My problem is I have done abour 300,000 miles in Vauxhaul , Opel Vectras. The seat in this car got the award for the worst seat for backs in any car but it fitted my back.

I have tried other saloons but always went back to the vauxhaul because of back problems.

So I had a mercedes I couldn't drive and a vauxhaul vextra with 120,000 miles of me driving it . In the end I measured exactly the seat position in the vectra . I then removed the mercedes drivers seat and put the vextra seat in - with packing to exactly the height I had in the Vectra.

Brillaint 25,000 miles later in the Mercedes and no back problems.

I bought another vectra drivers seat from a scrapyard and sold the vauxhaul.

I keep the mercedes seat in the loft for when I sell the Mercedes - but I am planning atleast 150,000 miles as it is so comfortable .

So simple - take the seat you like from car to car - no problems.

best of luck
