omegod Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I have a guy who buys all the spare wheels of the Omega's I break, he uses them on his Zafira. To be honest they have never seen light and look factory fresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Mine contains the petrol release lever - totally illogical but when I removed the centre console, there was no where obvious to put it so it got stuffed in the boot paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out Run Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 1 hour ago, paulplom said: Do you have to remove the amp to get the spare out? Aye, and to access the battery. When I bother to finish it, I’ll cut a bit of ply - probs the same, shit stuff I just put in the truck - and mount the amp and crossovers, leaving enough cable to be able to lift the board to the side. I very rarely require access to the ‘frunk’. It was a right bastard to get all of the cables in, but it’s a good home for a large, old school 5 channel amp in this car, IMO. The other boot is completely empty atm. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Favorit in van mode and full of cardboard, manky floor mats and old sheets as it is this very morning. There's a reason for this which will be revealed elsewhere later. Bag of basic tools that goes in whichever car if I'm going on a longer trip... ... or in the Triumph if I'm just going to the shops. paulplom, DeeJay, RayMK and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny69 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Mine is currently sporting makeshift high voltage hybrid battery charging and discharge items, made up of light fittings screwed to a bit of old pallet and a combination of Chinese and American made electronics. Nothing can go wrong here, right? Storage bin is filled with my new secondhand cycling shoes, some nappies, Maxiscan ODBII reader, air filter, lots of flammable empty cardboard boxes and some skanky old rags. And nothing in here smells bad. paulplom and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilA Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Engine bay tappet chest access panel, check. Wheel trim, check. Spare wheel with wrong tire on that, if inflated, is too big to close the boot, check. Nasty remains of soundproofing, check. Rust that I am hoping will go away if I ignore it, check.
