Can you fit a 40" LCD TV in a 147?

Any ideas? Its looking doubtful i guess but worth asking?

Anyone done it?

Do you want to watch it in the 147 or just transport it?

Just fetch it home.

I was considering how you would power the thing ... you could fit it in my dropping you 147 off at your local van hire company and borrow one of there astra vans for the afternoon!!!

doubt it to be honest - my mate got a 42" samsung and he couldn't fit it in his motor - it wouldn't go near it with all the packaging, so he got it delivered

I don't think you'll get it in,if i remember rightly the 32" LCD i moved was a tight fit

I'd rather have real the view out of my windscreen than have an LCD screen linked to cameras....

Yes is the answer. I fitted my Samsung one in and it was the very day I bought my original 147. That was a very 'happy shopper' day

take some blankets just incase, remove outer packaging and wrap TV up in the back minus the big box. Empty crisp packets, rubbish etc into TV box. Depost box with rubbish on your nearest Dixons doorstep. Drive home and enjoy TV.

A 42" Panasonic Viera went across the back seat of my 156 (same width as a 147?) after I took it out of the box - with some blankets for protection, as Corbo has suggested.

It also depends on the design of the cabinet of the TV of course, the Viera for example, only has slim speaker panels either side of the screen.

I would have thought with the back seats down it wouldn't be a problem... though I've not tried myself.

T.

Took one home in a GT so might fit in a 147, problem is not all 40" boxes are the same size, for reference I took a Samsung 40M86 home, you can get box size of samsung website, width was fine, couple of inches space and in length there was loads of room so should be fine in the shorter 147.

When I bought a 50" Samsung it was wheeled outside to the car (156), I was optimistic until I saw the guy parked next to me couldn't get the same TV into a Vectra estate ... had to go hire a van

A 40" Sony went over the back seats in all its packaging though

was coming in here to give you a for wanting one of those silly tv's in the boot chav's have

as Corbo said -take some blankets to make sure the tele lies flat and doesn't jump about. I managed to get a 32" samsung with matching DVD surround sound jobbie and a stand in the boot. had to leave the missus behing though - i though it was a good swap tbh....!!

By the way as mentioned earlier I've actually fitted one in box and all

So.....did CarlT get his telly home?? The suspense is killing me.

yeh cheers all it went in.

Didn't want to turn up at the shop and look an idiot trying to cram it in, but hacked the box up and put the TV in on its own and it went it.


Looks like the sodding thing will be going back in the car though if it doesn't stop randomly swapping inputs!!!
