Has anyone got expeience of the door defender? Its supposed to be a magnetic foam tube that stops idiots opening the door on your pride and joy. I've never used them but was wandering if anyone out there has and if they're any good please?

Ok

Blue Peter time - Go to B&Q and buy some 18mm copper pipe insulation foam - 6 meters is about £24 and whilst you there buy a can of spray carpet tile glue.

Then all you need are 8 small round magnets and a few old t shirts. Cut the pipe insulation along the opposite side to the slit that is already there for installing it over pipe. You should now have 2 long strips of have a cylinder pipe, glue the magnets into the inside recess with a hot glue gun. Once the glue has cooled cut the t-shirts up into 2" strips and then spray them with the carpet glue. Press the pipe (flat side onto the glue on the back of the t-shirt strips and leave to dry. Trim off any excess and you now have one 3 meter strip of magnetic door guard for either side of the GTR - they can be gently bent into loops like a hose and stored in the boot.

Jobs a good'un
