Bosch lasted 17 years in mine

I rest my case.

Nuff said. Cheers

the new coil pack has transformed my omega's performance, I thought she was quiet before but she's almost silent now and with better mpg😊

Should have taken it here for a "service"

Ripping the foam out is a damn sight quicker, easier and cheaper than changing to coil pack(s) every time it rains

I have driven 200,000 miles in the past 15 years in my first two Omegas and not had a problem with wet scuttle foam.

When I got the Project MV6 recently  the scuttle foam was absolutely sopping wet - James had already replaced the coil packs a few weeks before because of water damage so I was more than a little concerned by this. On closer inspection I realised that the trim at the base of the screen was coming away at one end so I pulled both parts of it right off and gave them a good scrub.

I think water had been tracking under the trim and hence running along the underside of the scuttle. After refitting the trims to the screen the foam was dry after 24 hours. On balance I don't think the foam is the problem but is simply an indicator of how leaky your screen trim is.........

Perhaps, but the weather has been much drier of late and ultimately,  no foam=no problem

I agree, only time I've had wet foam is when the strip came loose.

I would always prefer to fix the fault that rip off the foam, which is there for a reason.

Don't tell me... sound insulation

Removing it makes not one iota of difference to cabin noise

You're an argumentative bastid, Jaime.

The Wilbury's are travelling?

This definitely deserved more recognition than it got! 

Particularly as the thread reaches The End of the Line.

Thank you, Jimmy, but I'm not gonna start that one. If you look back far enough, we already did it with ABBA, and a few others.

My, my. Here we go again...
