Slight exaggeration on my part re ears ripped to shreds - it was in fact a slight cut at the tip of one ear which bled profusely and as Bertie shook his head not only splattered all around him but also covered his neck making it look like he had cut his throat.

I can assure all who might be worried that he is the most pampered 14 year old pooch living in a rural area surrounded by open countryside with all the attendant smells of wildlife whose scent he follows avidly which helps keep him fit. The day he manages to catch anything wild and furry will be the day I sell my beloved FL2 for scrap.

Our garden resembles Whipsnade Zoo at night with Roe deer, Muntjac deer, Badgers, Foxes and occasional Highland Cattle that wander down from the Common.

Poor dog, but they should be kept on a lead when out of the house, which would save your wildlife from suffering.
Pity it was not the owner who got his ears ripped open

Yepp u got it, grumpy old me However the biggest problem with dogs is not the dogs themselfs but some owners who do not respect the countryside and its wild life (not just rabbits). You CG should know that if you realy are the country respecting, save the enviroment farmer, you say you are

Back on the subject of Freelander seat covers ,
has anybody with the splitting leather side problem, had these replaced by Land Rover
and if so was it done within or outside the warrenty period  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

Well, I've gone for the Inka seat covers front and back with 60/40 spilt and arm rests catered for too, and air bag.

Had a look round and they do get good reviews over at VW so I thought it was worth a try.

Hopefully here tomorrow so I'll post my review over the weekend.

I got my seat covers from UKcovers about 3 years ago. They're waterproof and stong, just been machine washed for the first time and they look new as do the cloth seats under them. Have velcro sides for air bags Recommend them. 11 GS Bali Blue
07 GS FL2. Usually muddy. Gone
Numerous LRs since 1963
