Just on interior storage has anyone clocked a place to put water bottles in the back? we carry a 10 litre water carrier in the rear side pod for the dogs but I can't see a similar option? Also, we have two jet boils ( for early breakfast walks  ) in the doors, anyone noticed a place they will still fit? MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

Re: water storage. There is a hidden space designed for wet clothes & wellington boots, maybe this would suit you? Peter

Thanks, Is that the one under the loadspace floor ? when discussing a deal on the load space mat and cargo divider the dealer said you cant get to it with the divider in. I had until then got that eyed up for the multitude of dog leads, dog tie downs and clasps we cram in the other side pod. MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

Peter, come on, full disclosure please. Are or are you not on the D5 social media team to infiltrate and spread the good word of the D5 around? If not you should be
