What's this?

Post by MartayMcFly » Sun Dec 02, 2012 10:24 pm

Just spotted this on an ad, my boot just has a space (like the netted pocket on the opposite side) and was wondering what was inside this door/flap thing, circled in red.

It's a cover and it covers a.......space. :thumbs:

I use it as a tidy closed compartment to keep a bottle of screenwash concentrate, top-up oil and a genuine Audi factory trained midget whose sole purpose in life is to reach all of the inaccessable things that the manufacturer has managed to make inaccessable in a dirty great thing like an estate car. :audibash:

Oh yes, sorry, I nearly forgot. Doh !

The spare Dilithium crystals are in there somewhere too. Provided the midget hasn't eaten them, like the last one did.

Messy, very very messy.

That,s where the TV module/receiver is. Its located at the top. Only cars with the TV option came with this (like mine).

I've got the cubbyhole cover, as per the pic.....Does that mean mine came with/ has got a tv receiver?

Yup, that's the one. More hassle than use though. I'm pretty sure it was him that loosened off my seat rail bolts. Must have been 'cos no other bleeder seems to know anything about it and I haven't seen the bandy little sod since I did my stranded turtle dance around the interior.

If I get my hands on him........ ! :FIREdevil:

Dagnabit!!

:biggrin2: Too obvious.......Thinks?? "Did I actually check it?".......Thinks???..... (footsteps across the kitchen, 'click' of side door, crunch crunch, thunk, click, scritch, various RS coming to life Fx, Tv button press.........).

Ha, you actually got me going there. Nope, no Tv and checked original build codes, none fitted.

Got the hatch though. Dead handy for odds and sods. :biggrin3:
