Did you stipulate 'If it passes 1st time'?
If not, you've gotta shell out!

Boot liner arrived after 10 days.
Quite a good fit, except it is not designed for an omega with a factory fit autochanger, so slight modification (Stanley Knife) required.
Not quite as 'heavy duty' as I hoped, but it's OK.
The lip all around may be an issue if the seats are down for a large load, probably better in the saloon.
The edges are quite 'shiny' so slippy, the centre is a sort of non slip mat effort.
Will try and get out with the camera at the weekend.

Got the cannon in the wife's saloon.
Read into the fact I am looking at a different solution for mine what you like
It's Ok at best, does the job, but could fit better

Can't argue with that.
Tis an Old car with a dirty boot.
But.
When you are putting wet muddy buggies and stuff in and out, you soon have a wet smelly car
Ordered one of these, will report back on fit with a photo or 2.

My last solution in the mazda was 2 of those clear plastic 'hall runners' cut to shape.
Was never great though, but kept the boot quite clean.

Anyone tried the fitted boot protectors off ebay?

Look a bit nicer than the cannon cut to fit ones.
Are they any good?
I'm tempted for £30, keeping muddy buggies off the carpet etc.
Cheers

Wouldn't touch Michelins with a barge pole. Pirellis seem ok just seem to be little noisier than some.
Always liked P6000's but thought they may be a little too soft for the meega?
very bad commend on P7 on WIM's forum, but think that must be a 1 off defect.

Both mine and the mrs are up for new rubber soon.
Now I'm not going to ask which are the best, everyone has a favourite, but...
Which tyres would you NOT buy again?
I like 'best of both world' myself, good wet and dry grip, that dont wear down too fast.

General Discussion Area / Re: Tumble dryer help needed. anyone
« on: 12 December 2006, 08:55:52 »
I had a creda condensing tumble dryer
Ate thermostats!
1st pair replaced under warranty, I kept the old ones for part no's
I replaced em twice more, but at £30 a pair, the 3rd time I bought a non-condensing one, which has been much more reliable (touch wood).
1 possibility for the faults was lack of power!
After having a fuse board replaced with a consumer unit, the tumble, in the garage, kept blowing the fuse on the lighting circuit!
It would appear when the previous owners built the garage, its entire electrical feed was taken from the lighting circuit.
Since putting it on a higher power circuit, all is fine, and we are convinced it drys stuff faster, so suspect it was running with not enough power before hand, and we all know how picky electronics are when they are run outside specifications (ie how many lights and things dont work when your car battery is low).
