What Have You Bought Today?

Koni special active is what I’m wanting but they only drop 30 to 40mm max with springs (extra I think) which is more than enough for me. So if you want a bigger drop you have to choose something else. Each to their own but everyone says the special actives are the bees knees :thumbsup:

Yes the drops are limited with special actives. But Koni have 2 other dampers that can do 40to 60mm drops no problem
 
Along with everyone else buying and tweaking. Some good and some just shocking. Best= Van King for the bed and CRS for the suspension. Now the bad.
Fuel Lagoon, bought the tailgate thermal, OK. Then the two sliding doors were really poor fit, too long and not wide enough, so they went back. No offer of sending the right ones.
Problem Solving Bushes; Bought for the anti roll bar. The booking response and order shows 28mm, they sent 22 mm and said I had ordered the wrong size. Local garage by this time fitted new standard at a 1/4 of the price. Explanation was if good for 100K then new good for another 100k, couldn't argue with that.
Next 1, Bought from MPA Carparts, improved rear struts for tail gate. Fitted them, and banged my head as at the edge was lower. Took them off and measured, were 74cm and the originals were 78cm. Asked why sent the wrong size. Unbelievable answers; 1st Didn't have any on the shelf to compare them with so sent those???? 2nd. The Manufacturer made them in the wrong size. If I was a comedian on stage ,I'd have you in the aisles with that one.
 
Well the day has come, H4s are now on death row awaiting the gurney. Absolutely over the moon with this little bargain.

Am I right in saying that these also have the DRL at the bottom??

If so will they need coding or is it a straight swap?

Nice, just about half what I just paid for a set! Nothing needs coding as I understand it except to have the main and dipped beams on together which is how they work when fitted to Caravelles etc.
 
I put LED bulbs in the DRL’s to give them a nice modern look but had to code off the bulb error facility. I take it you’ve checked bulb holders are not burnt out.

That's the plan yeah, I haven't checked as yet but will do when I get a minute. I'm not going to install them until I have all new bulbs replaced, looking on amazon at what bulbs are available.

Now all I have to do is look for a cheap set of led rears :thumbsup:
 
Brought recently Victron MPPT controller ( big thanks to @Dellmassive ) …but just fitted to Battery box….so can now piggyback from Leisure battery via alternator and can use Solar to charge in the tent bypassing the van….ultimately change AGM to lithium and later change Ctek to REDARC in van…Simple system for a simple life :)
