Hi!
I'm going to get a dog (!!)
For short times I will need to leave the dog in the Discovery.
I believe that the alarm on a 2000 Disco checks for movement in the car.
I think the dog will move ;-) Failing that, the draft coming through the slightly open window is bound to move something!
Is there any special "I've left a dog in this car don't enable the alarm - just the immobiliser" method of securing the car?
Thanks
Yep,
Just lock it with the key, and NOT the fob.... :)
Yes, I *think* it is use the key in the drivers door not the blipper.
With any luck it will have luggage securing points... then you just need a couple of luggage bungie straps.

Please be aware that cars get very hot very quickly in hot weather.

I think the OP has already considered that
"Failing that, the draft coming through the slightly open window is bound to move something!"

Failing that, I remember leaving an Alsation in a Series II with the window open one overcast day. (With water available, of course)
We came back 15 minutes after the sun came out, to find him in the shade
*under* the Land Rover, which was still locked....
Surprised he didn't take it off and bury it somewhere!
He needed the shade. He weren't daft.... ;-)
Lee,
I'm not disputing that but a dog can die of heatstroke in around 20 minutes in a car on a hot day.
A bowl of water and an open window won't help either. It's just surprising how fast it can happen.
Cheers

All, thanks for your responses - I suspected that the manual locking was the answer.
I am aware that dogs, cars and hot days do not mix and I assure you I will take care.
Thanks again!
I wonder if you found that out the same way I did .....
It is, deffo.
