i'm in ABZ so can you maybe weigh it and I'll see what postage cost would be. . . . . it's not heavy just bulky for GPO
I was thinking of the sticky vinyl repair method, as it would save taking dash apart (again)
have you still got BOTH snow mats? NB I could use it to catch the leak from teh heater matrix (I assume it is not available) although I might try and repair our one as car is off the road for at least next three months
and there is a spare that has been 'repaired' with silicon sealant
Alan the cracking is in the usual place, top left - I tried taking a photo although my camera is crap...I'll post it up later on see what you make of it
Snow mats are a set of 4 fella. Should be no problem to post them to Aberdeen
//edit
found the (fuzzy) photos, as you can or rather can't see it's hard to see the crack although it is there
and limits for parcel sizes
http://www.postoffice.co.uk/mail/uk-standard
if I can make the snow mats into a parcel less than 61cm long x 46cm wide x 46cm thick & less than 2kg it's only a fiver a go for 2nd class...not sure on the length of the largest mats though. The dash surround should be either 2.85 or a fiver depending on length (parcel needs to be under 450 mm long for the lower price)
heater matrix has gone unfortunately

Looks better than ours. !
have you scrapped the car?, if not do you still have the frame that the dash-surround fixes onto? most of the palstic fittings ./ screw holes are shot on ours so might worth doing the whole thing?

I was looking at the photo thinking...I don't recognise them spanners....
my pound shop socket set must have been 'just out of shot'

If it's any help I have the frame behind the dash surround on Nipper whom I am dismantling - not all screw holes are intact but most are; is it any good to you?
