I have one sitting in the garage I've tried giving away before. If you want it and can collect it's yours. Failing that, pay for postage and I'll send it.

Post by: Viking on January 16, 2012, 06:36:24 pm: Ah, twins.

We bought this a good few years ago for our two girls to watch on trips over to Europe. It fails miserably due to the fact they both want to watch different things. And, they could never agree as to who was going to have it in front of them, and the other one starts "I can't see!" etc. It got put in the garage and we went to Comet next year and bought them individual ones with earphones. Problem sorted.

Anyway, if you want this to try out I'll dig it out and get some photos so you can see what it's like.

The screen is small at only 5" (see the tin of beans), and there's a good bit of cabling to connect it all together and get it hooked up. And I'm not sure the remote works anymore.

Any good?

Post by: Viking on January 16, 2012, 09:02:24 pm: Various options. First class is £9, signed for is £10, standard parcels is about £8. I'd be sending it signed for if that's okay, then it can be tracked. Seems silly not to for the extra quid.

I know it's free, but I'd still like it to get there. :grin:

Post by: mvb12 on January 23, 2012, 11:18:33 am: i'm looking into the same thing but i want my screens built into the headrests........ looking for 2 cloth headrest as when its time to sell on, i'll be keeping the screens.

i'm sure you can get the clip on DVD players from the stealers, remeber seeing a set in my local and the price was "competitive"! give your local stealers a shout :mad:
