ouchthathurt Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 What car have you got Kev? I helped an old dear who’s battery in her “keyless ignition” car was dead, I found if you lifted the drinks holder in the centre console there was a small disc under it. If you placed the dead key fob on this disc, the car would start. elmoputney and Carpbell_ll 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted March 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Seemed to get away with it so far, she went out delivery turned up, went out again got to have a little play well impressed so far tbh 😂 And so was the dog 😬 I can get the water bottle in the front pannier, I can get all my tackle and bits in the bag with room for loads of of other bits (probably 2 smaller buckets for bait) 🙄, I can feel a declutter coming on seemed sturdy enough, one thing I liked 4 screws on the handles so they aren't just done up in one place, hopefully that should mean less flex, I'm pleased with it anyway, mobility isn't something that's done in that lake very often, I think It may help me find more chances if I can fish off the barrow, and I won't get anymore punctures in my car finchey, kevtaylor, ... and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do me a favour , next time you set out on a trip take a pic of how you cram it in the motor . Ill need to invest in another one of these eventually but it’s more how to get it all in the car lol. She has a Ford ecosport which is ok , the back seats do fold down but there’s usually 3 of us in the car so I can only fold one seat down . elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im having problems deciding between the Compact and the Galaxy tbh , having trouble deciding which will be easier for my back and for storage …. Im not sure I can see the difference and the Trakker website ain’t much help 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpbell_ll Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 carp porter is tops for storage pretty much breaks down flat and would fit in any car, even if i don't plan on using it like last week i still take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted May 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 I did a photo of it chucked in the boot its pretty flat plus the wheel and handles, that is the main bag on top and the water carrier is housed by one of the front panniers, It is quite long but flat it is a great barrow though the galaxy is smaller but I quite like it seems stable and easy to push and load That's it fully laden 2 buckets, bedchair, food bag, clothes bag, rods, bivvy and all my tackle and bits fit in the underbelly (which like the fox have side access) newmarket and Carpbell_ll 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
