I think Halfords have nicked my undertray! - Page 6

Hi Steve
Several undertray types fitted to the 75 the smallest being the one fitted to the 1.8 I believe. (check Rimmers site )
They were all made from a fibreglass type construction although a cheaper version is sold on ebay made from plastic
I have fitted one of these cheaper versions and would not recommend them as they appear to have the holes drilled in the wrong places among other things
Hope this helps
Regards
Steve

I'm talking about a tiny little plastic tray, that's about a quarter the size of the one I originally had; like 2 ft square.

I'll post a pic if I get chance.

Rimmers seem to list only one tray now for all models although, as Steve notes above, there used to be several types. See here http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001766. There has only ever been one tray fitted, no small tray was ever included/used.

Ok, thanks; I'm now informed.

The little plastic thing must be a drip tray or something, at a guess.

Either way, I don't have my tray :-(

Go on Steve treat yourself

Then have a look around your local breakers, or have a word with the traders on here, and source a replacement undertray, or buy a new one from Rimmers if time is tight.

And if you are self employed, bill Halfords for your time as well as the replacement parts

Anyway, all's well that ends well, Anon - you SHALL have your undertray!
