Hi Guys - Just having bought my Sport I would appreciate any help and advice.

I have 3 Labradors so I need to buy a Dog Guard and Boot Liner. Is anyone using any particular products they would recommend I look at?

Thanks a lot!

I don't have a dog guard or boot liner

But I have fitted mud flaps.....whats the question

Jim

Thanks Jim!

I wanted to know how easy it is to fit mud flaps?

I will be buying something similar to LR ones but cheaper and don't want to pay dealer workshop prices for something like this.

I assume they are easy to fit but not being mechanically minded and of mature years I wanted to check first?

I'm picking my RRS up on Sunday and have already ordered a dog guard and divider from Travall.

The mud flaps are a 45 minute DIY job. Dead easy.  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

I have a lr dog guard and use a boot liner from a company on eBay. There's a couple of posts on here with the liners on it

I use a dog bag for my Lab and he loves it - we live in a rural area and he gets pretty muddy and it keeps the car spotless - also stops wet nose marks on glass

Hi

I would not hesitate to purchase and fit the mud flaps, its a very easy DIY job, I am 63 and would not even blink at doing this job. Personally I would buy the genuine LR mud flaps, you will then get the correct fitting instructions and screws etc. I purchased mine off ebay and paid about £108 for both sets.

Several people on here dislike the flaps with a vengance but personally I think they do a good job of keeping the muck off the bodywork and look good, however this is my personal view.

Best of luck with your choice.

Jim

i agree with jimbo,genuine ones £105 from local stealers.took me about 50 minutes in the freezing rain the other day,no need to take the wheels off.i was contemplating the non genuine ones but i suppose personal preference/budget.

I can recommend the boot liner from Hatch Bag. These are tailored to fit the RRS exactly and come with various options like a bumper flap that you can drop down over the bumper when you let your dog in and out to prevent their claws scratching the paintwork. There is also a similar flap that goes over the backs of the rear seats to keep the dog slobber off the leather.
They also produce tailored anti-odour mats that work really well at keeping the wet dog smell at bay.
I've used them on my last 3 cars and wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.

Hi, don't buy none OEM as they do not fit properly, they are just not worth the effort whatever the sales pitch! If it aint broke leave it!

I had mud flaps on my Disco 2 before and have immediately noticed the difference in dirt volume by not having them now - will take your good advice and the Hatch Bag site looks interesting so I will probably take that route as well.

Thanks so much for all your useful advice guys, really appreciate it! Baza G

As said above, you can't beat genuine ones for quality and fitment, ive just orded some from my local dealer and then told me ah there is a offer on at the moment with these, free fitting, so its booked in on wensday saves me getting my hands dirty £100 + vat fitted.

Only problem with liners is if the dog shakes itself - mine did - mud all over roof lining and windows

Thats when I bought dog bag

It also has a flap to cover bumper when unzipped  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
