Channel Master 1.2 and a Ford Focus

Would the above dish fit in the above car (the Estate version)?!?

Or would I have to strap it to my roof bars ?

Don't think your get away without strapping it to the car roof.

Thread moved to a more appropriate section.

OK - roof it is.

(oops - sorry for wrong forum post)

I put a 1.4 in the back of a Renault Megane Hatch with the seats down with plenty of room to spare and on a separate ocasion a 1.2 with the lnb arm attached just through the back door on the floor .
I'm beeing a bit dumb , just realised u have estate . It may pay to try back door . Let us know how you get on .

I was amazed when I managed to get 1.2m CM dish in the back of a Ford Fiesta, inserted via the back doors. You should have no problem with a Ford Focus.

I can get a 1.2m dish (137x125cm) in the back of my car (Zafira). I would have thought the opening on the Focus would be a similar size.

i picked the dish up on Friday and had to strap it to my roof. Took it really slow up the motorway

Sounds to me as if you could have been mistaken for an Outside Broadcast Vehicle

1.2m? Pfah!

I strapped a 1.8m dish to the roof of my car and took it 1000 miles through England and France. Face down on the roof rack it wasn't too bad at all.

Well I had a client that was moving to another house with a Famaval 2.4m dish. I took the dish down and we put it face down on his Nissan Primastar. He didn't have any proper straps to tie it on and even though I told him it wasn't good enough (he said it was ok cos that's the way it got there in the first place) he tied it on with string and hook-on bungee ties. The plan was I follow him to the new property and help him off with it. Anyway on the motorway near Benidorm going about 90km/h it came unclipped and took off like a big frizby. Luckily for him it went straight down over the edge of the motorway (wrecking itself in the process) rather than into the carriageway.

I'm slightly disappointed. I misread the thread and thought I was about to see a car mount!
