Title: What have you got in the boot?
Post by: jereboam on 09 June 2008, 23:06:16
I dunno exactly what's in mine any more - it's all packed into two big plastic boxes, which I haven't needed to open for a while.

But there should be:
Tools - loads of spanners, screwdrivers, allen keys, pliers, hammers (v. important), hacksaw
Bulbs - at least one spare of everything
Fuses
Fuel can (empty)
Blanket
Plastic tarpaulin
First aid kit
Extensible wheel wrench
Work gloves
Walking boots
Walking stick
Golf umbrella
Brush
Cleaning materials (unused)

... oh, and the centre head restraint - can't see anything at all out the back when that's in place.

And an elderly fire extinguisher.  The dial thingy says it's OK, but it must be 20 years old, so I don't expect much from it.  Anyway, it's not much use in box in the boot.

There's loads of room left :) :) :)

I once came away from a Northamptonshire scrapyard one Sunday with a complete 4AEF engine head, two radiators, three wiper motors, a complete tow bar, two radios, an alternator, a starter motor, two carburettors, interior panels, door handles, mirrors, dozens of assorted bolts and screws, along with a windscreen, in the back of my Toyota Carina Estate.

The amazing thing was that the bloke left in charge wanted to  "fxxking go home" as I finished off stripping Toyota Carina's and Corolla's and let us drive out fully loaded without paying a bean as he "couldn't care a fxxck what we had!" ;D ;D ;D

That was the best load I had in the 'boot' ever! ;D ;)

I would'nt mind getting some of those plastic contains with lids.  A row that fits the boot perfectly, and a row on the top, both row's different depths. Iy's just a case of getting the right combination thats fits so they dont move about.
OOF Tuppaware party?  ;D

That's the words I was looking for. ;D ;D ;D :y

Now that's got to be Lizzie's department, she's allways telling us men that we need Mothering.   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y

I have much less in the boot these days, since half of it went into Mike Dundee's boot after I sold the omega.... but I still carry the usual 'emergency' stuff.

I need to get the boot emptied and save a bit of weight, it aint doing the computers any good either.

It surprised me what a difference a full tank of fuel made to the car (weight wise) as well.  Did it coz of the pending fuel strike that was mentioned again for this weekend (Pay rise now sorted) and also to check for any leak issues.  Nice feeling having the full tank, but it wont be happening again unlress a long trip is planned.

Me neither. My boot carpet has what looks like washer fluid stains on it ie blue, amongst other dirty marks . I've tried the Vax but it it hasn't cleaned it off & i've had it pi$$3d wet through with the hose pipe but it's still manky.  :(
If an Omega's boot carpet is as dear as a Senator's about 6/7 yrs ago was (c£160  :o) it'll stay manky too.

Take your boot carpet out, find a way of hanging it againt a wall .  then jet wash it, and finish off with frash water from hose pipe.

If really manky pre spary with some detergent and let it soak in for 5 mins.  If you have a good stiff brush then give the carget a bit of a scrub before the jet wash.

To dry it, leave it hanging at an angle so that one corner is lower than the rest.  Should be dry with in an hour or 2 on a sunny day, then vax the water out of the lowest corner.    :y :y :y

You going to Keswick?
I'll bring my Karcher! ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

I realised yesterday that the carpet in the back of my Astra diseasal esate is STILL a bit wet from doing exactly what you said a couple of weeks back. I'd even had the carpet drying on the roof of my (wooden, not Astra ;D) shed!

Best results are with hanging them up.

Used to to them on a daily basis as a car valeter.  Customers were amazed on many occasions, but at the end of the day it's not allways aboy elbow grease.   :y :y
