Excellent recommendation Phil. Love it. Just going to get some more packers' tape now, then I'll make a start.

I think we all drive ours.....Am I the only one that dry stores his QPV?
Oh Mark. So sorry to see all that dirty water in your boot. That really is dreadful. It would have me thinking about a car cover.

I don't think mine has ever been that bad. But when it was dodgy, I dried the rubber seal around the edge of the boot and laid kitchen roll all round it. Within a week the damp bits of kitchen roll showed me that water was getting in along the bottom edge. Sorted. It's pretty dry now and I just use the moisture absorbing crystals in the wardrobe dehumidifier. No car cover. I just leave the house, get in the car and drive it
Whish they’d do that with all modern BMW’s.
Odd that.
Silly question. Did you follow the instructions? They come sealed to keep them dry on the shelf in the shop. You have to break the seal to let the damp air in the boot get to the crystals.
Yup. I'm an all seasons A/C man too.
Yes, the Jag heated front screen was fab. Although MrsMM complained about seeing the lines.Perfectly reasonable to ask. Yes. Tried them on and off for about 15 years. Given up now and rely on A/C. Just wish the Ghibli had a heated windscreen. I do miss that on the Jaaaaaags

Unfortunately I do not have that option, if I could, I would.Am I the only one that dry stores his QPV?
Can anyone recommend a decent all-weather cover for a QP V? Mine (2009) will be sat on the drive 95% of the time so it'd be nice to keep it cosy over winter....
I was about to have a look in there before it went all biblical, but saw that there were some screws involved in removing the tyre well floor. Have to put some big boys pants on if we get a break in the weatherOne thing you can do is drill 3 5mm holes in the lowest part of your boot so any puddling will move on.
If you don’t, first to go will be your handbrake cables which will rust and seize £1k plus fitting then your handbrake module and drive £2k plus fitting
