Hello, apart from the Land Rover expensive dog guard and crate can anyone recommend where i can get a guard and divider that will fit the Freelander 2 model. Many thanks everyone !!

Easy, get a collie and train it to sit in the boot! No guard needed

Mine is well trained.

Aawww... how cute is that.... It's never too late to learn something new...

alternatively, get it to lie down and puit a cargo net over the top fastened to the four anchor points

After all the divider is more to keep the animal at the back in the case of a collision.

and the metal crate to to protect the animal if in a collision from behind (boot is the crumple zone)  2002 Honda VFR800
2002 Toyota Celica 140 Silver (mid life crisis - again!)
2007 FL2 GS Manual Army Reconnaissance Green + freel2.com sticker
2004 Toyota Celica 140 Black - Gone
2000 Toyota Celica 140 Silver - Gone
1998 Toyota Celica ST Pearl Green - Gone
1996 Nissan Primera 1.6 - Gone
1994 Rover Montego 1.6 Auto - Gone

How about curling the dog up in the spare wheel well ! with the lid down it would stop it sliding about ! & no risk of getting his paws trapped in the tailgate !

Leave the dog at home.......problem solved  ______________________

That's an impressive amount of faith in a light wire cage! It is, however, very handy for being able to leave the tailgate open when the weather's hot and it's a sure way of keeping the dog in the car at the scene of an accident should the windows be smashed, but I'd be more concerned about not being able to get the dog out in the case of fire

Can I assume that you haven't owned a Collie then

You try getting him to miss out on a car ride

I see from the last photo your dog is familiar with standing at the bar  2002 Honda VFR800

What is that bar for?

That's a brace bar, linking the two rear suspension turrets together. Ben really got the hang of jumping in the boot, diving straight under the bar, turning around and sitting up ready for some action!

Good to see a pic of your dog!

I can comfim that Tiggers' dog is as good as gold and loves riding in the car. Travels with him everywhere. How Tigger got a collie to stop jumping around in the rear of his car remains a mystery to me  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Thanks!
