Mine came with the hard plastic liner and the 1/2 thick rubber mat inside that.

I've seen a few rubber mats.. some look rather thin though.. the hard plastic ones look annoying.. if you need to get to the spare etc

Thanks John, i am struggling to behave - must go
There's cream for that.. if you struggle too much
Are we still talking about hard ones for the back end?They are a PITA that's why I stopped using it

It’s a job to know what to do… on one hand I get that they can be a pain if you need to access the spare etc but on the other, they do stop the boot getting snotted up.
I need to have options really. I don’t always want to have the dog transit box in the back but I do need to put the dogs in the back, so a hard plastic mat and normal dog crate will suffice there… the larger transit box for longer trips or when working as the thing can be hosed out later.
I am planning to get a storage draw - booze & guns - but not until later in the year and again, it’s not the sort of thing that I think you’d want in there all the time (for one thing, the champagne would probably ruin)
I’m guessing the moment you have guns, dogs, booze and luggage in the boot, that’s the moment you’ll need the spare tyre…
Massive congrats on the new motor
talking of electronics / diagnostics , can get a cheap Autel ap200 which I think should work , u want the white one and are around £60 unless u go for the more expensive gap iid

But nowhere near as reliableFully independent suspension on the L322 trumps the P38' beam axles for ride quality and handling
I must admit I was doing quite a bit off messing in the boot fitting the second battery otherwise it would have just stayed there and not been a problem. Also as it had the thick rubber mat on top of it it made it more of a pain. Being hard plastic I think things may slide around a bit unless it's tied down. As you say it's easy to just wipe down so may be perfect for your needs, the only muddy things I put in the boot are a couple of pairs of walking boots.
Nice one John!For those following the ‘is a TDV8 any good?’ thread, I’ve now taken possession of my first Range Rover.
On an 09 plate, with 55,170 on the clock, FSH & 1 previous owner plus a brand new MOT, I’m very happy with it.
There are a couple of very minor scuffs that I’ll be getting sorted - the door handles are the worst and there is 1 really, really minor scratch:

I’ve ordered the luggage pocket nets for the boot and will be adding a dog guard & boot liner. I did do a deal on a gun I sold and ended up with a TransK9 double dog crate for an L322 for the last £100 of the gun…

I don’t want it in the vehicle all the time as I need the boot to be covered for when I’m moving firearms.
Tinting the rear doors & boot windows is the major thing I need to do.
Having driven it and taken it to Tesco, it’s all there… the power at the bottom is unbelievable and you have to check to see what speed you’re actually doing… it gets to 50+ very quietly & quickly!
There is more road noise than I’d expected but that may be the tyres or the fact I’m use to a sporty Mercedes!
Little, minor draw to the left under braking - balancing maybe?
It is like driving a Chesterfield…
Hope it turns out to be all you wanted from it!
hi mate
plus 1 with regards to the plastic liners , as u say items slide around , ended up getting an off cut of black carpet off eBay which stops it , then easy to remove , shake off and put back, plus found it really handy getting one of those boot bags for small items
Good to use as a template for cutting out the carpet!
We just use the mat in our Disco, being a pukka Landy one it does fit perfectly and is tough when doing things like loading a cubic metre of logs etc. Easy to clean but yes prone to things sliding around.
Shame it doesn't have a pull over blind to hide the guns.
Thought Rangies had a kind of fold over tray.

indeed ref the template , luckily I also got one of those boot slide out trays that have the tie down fittings , I intended to fit it but seeing I’m planning to sell my D3 in the near future won’t bother considering the price there now fetching , many asking for £400- 500 for them , madness
yes I think it’s a 2 x part folding Parcel Shelf Load Cover for the L322, alas don’t know what the current regs are , assume though a lockable cabinet would be required to transport guns in the boot, in my old series I bolted a gun cabinet to the floor when I carried my shotguns
think the FFRR drawers are around £900

Not always…
The system is flexible so would be either for hospitality:
Or security for my own guns & dogs:
