United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Stornoway Grey

We have two dogs a Westie and a Heinz 57 who’s about 1.5 times the size of the Westie. I will only take them in the car in a dog crate, we found a great one which we used extensively in previous car (Mazda 6 Estate), the dogs are very comfortable and climbed into it no problem.

The boot on the FL2 isn’t the biggest in the world and one of the pre-conditions to choosing it was that the dog crate had to fit in the FL2 boot. Looking at the dimensions it was going to be a tight fit, so before ordering had to take the crate down to the LR showroom so I could see that it fitted into the FL2 boot, it does with less than 10mm clearance in width. There is no way our dogs can jump into the crate but they are easy enough to pick up. So FL2 is dog friendly for us …..

We did that with 2 different cages (Lintran) neither fitted so ended up getting Barjo guard and tail gate. We get 5 of our whippets in at any one time. D4 HSE Lux for me

Our dogs name is Gabriel. He is a chocolate-brown Cocker Spaniel. He is used to sit in the back-seat. We tried to put him in the trunk of the FL2.

Well, he could see out the back-window, but somehow we got the impression he was not satisfied. Wonder how? Rolling Eyes

We have an alpaca-colored blanket with dog-foot-paws all over it. It looks good in the back seat.

Gabriel is content. 2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack.

Been at the outlaws yesterday, so couldn't get to reply, thanks for all the compliments. We've had him for a month now and he's a 1 year old(ish) rescue dog.

carlfraz, where have you seen my wife (well GF)?? Shocked Whistle

npink...not pegged down but he can run for britain when he gets told to, and the litttle Censored fast too.

Ta, GS69 nope not all cladding, 1850's stone-built coattage, although you can see the extension mostly on the so it's been clad for planning permission, rest of the house is solid stone in a rubble style. Looks good though and most folk can't tell.

hey def,
Yep well spotted it's a cherry tree. No fruit so far though but beautiful blossoms in spring. We've only been in the house since February, and it was there when we moved in hopefully we'll get some fruit at some point!! MY11 Fuji white Td4 150 GS straight up no mixer.
