Have they always been as bad or is it a recent decrease in quality?

Some T-cut and a bit of elbow grease might help, just done mine last week, they were 'poo' as you said and starting to go yellow. 5 mins on each one and they were much better ;)

What you need is a claw hammer and a volvo. the claw hammer is to smash up the omega, and the Volvo is to drive around in a car that doesn't need every sodding thing fixed every sodding week.

So there. >:(
