    recommended car cover for external use?

    Hi - unfortunately I have to have the Disco outside and want to preserve it as well as possible. First I tried the el cheapo silver nylon jobbie from EBay - wasn't waterproof (despite claims) and even let dust through! Then I tried a Genesis breathable fabric cover - perished in the sun over one summer!

    Now looking for quality and have narrowed down to:

    Car Care Products / Car Care Products / Car Accessories / Car Covers / Prestige Car Cover

    Elite Car Covers, Waterproof Car Covers, Tyvek Car Covers, Economy Car Covers, Universal Car Cover, Wholesale Car Cover, Discount Car Covers

    The first is $219 for large 4WD; the second is Tyvek material and $100USD plus a fair whack of postage.

    Thoughts/experiences?
    Always looking for creative new ways to get bogged... :whistling:

    76 RR...sold coz fuel was expensive at 70c/l :eek:
    93 200 Tdi Disco...old faithful...sold to make way for...
    99 Td5 Disco ACE...nice drive...hopefully reliable...

    i have a supercheap one , used it about 6 times paid about $30 it lets the water and dust through it and it is starting to rip where the straps clip on , think i might take to a canvas joint and get them to use it as a model and make one out of the light weight canvas they use for the side wall of caravan anexes

    You organise pickup, I'll give you one.
    I bought one for a large car and the silly buggar gave me one for a large 4WD.
    Not large enough. Won't fit on the 101.
    Partially my fault. I should have checked the box he gave me.

    regards
    Mick
