Removal of L405 rear seats to accommodate large dogs?

We have two large Pyrenean Mountain Dogs, as the L405 boot space alone is not big enough to accommodate them, and the rear seats don't fold flat, ideally I need to completely remove the rear seats to fit the dogs in the car comfortably.

Has anyone else removed the rear seats on an L405 and is it complicated?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

The solution is simple.....

Discovery commercial for dogs and the 405 for people, i have large dogs and have never got them to fit in a RR because of the stupid way the RR seats fold, at one point made a 4.4 L322 into a van, which was a great place to be but the disco is sadly the better option, but very interested to see what you do.

Thanks Trantorman - I already have a 2007 L322 4.4 V8 (rare naturally aspirated) which I've taken the rear seats out of. I use this as a daily for the dogs but need something newer and more comfortable for travelling through Europe in.

I'm guessing it must be possible to take them out somehow

This video is for a RRS, but I’d imagine it’s a very similar process.



Hope it helps. Thumbs Up

I was reading a copy of one of the LR mags and it showed the P38 with seats folded down, it was only then that I thought it was strange that the L322 and L405 didn't, seems like a backward step for LR.

I would do Stan, but they weigh 75kg's each (approx 11.8 stone).

Thanks everyone else also for all your comments and advice.

As for cam-tech-craig, joking aside, if I can't find a simple solution, I may well take you up on that. They need to come out and I'm pretty sure you'd be more than capable

I have a small wall around the edge of part of the driveway, it's about 2 ft high. I back up and they jump in off the raised area. Getting them out wherever we're going requires planning, I have to be careful with my back. My wife is strong though, so we're OK Very Happy Very Happy
