And this is what £80 of 12v bits looks like...
It's no wonder these things costs as much as they do, there's hundreds in 'bits' everywhere

And some new toys to help with fitting all the above. A ratchet crimper (insulated jaws but comes with 5x spares for other crimps), cable stripper's, and a big honking set of crimpers for the 10mm² and above cable.
The only thing I'm missing is a way to cut/strip big cables like 25mm² or 35mm² stuff.

I was very careful with a Stanley knife and only cut myself once.. tw4t!
Yeah I was thinking that would be ok for stripping it but I'm not sure any of my cutters are up to the job!
A set of big 10" cutters are only about £10 it seems anyway.
I found using a hacksaw best to cut my 35mm2 cable. I had cutters but it was bloody hard work and they didn’t cut flat enough for my liking.
I was looking at buying pre made cables for the main large ones but after pricing it up I'll make them myself.
For eg £22 for a 35mm² cable with 2x ring terminals, anything up to 1m long (10cm long is still £22).
1m of 35mm² cable is £17. Terminals are £1 or so each. And 1m of cable will probably do most of my cable runs under the seat base!

Add some heatshrink to cover over the crimp. I used adhesive lined.
If you have a little 4.5" grinder to hand they're very good. One of those super thin 1mm metal cutting blades - makes a really neat job.
Renogy battery shunt 300.
The start of my upgrades to the factory fitted leisure battery!
The start of my upgrades to the factory fitted leisure battery!
New battery, 4 new calipers discs and pads, 2 wheel bearings, new adjustable bushes and to finish it off 4 new hankook s3 evos. Oh yeah forgot and a full service. I bloody hate this transporter malarkey 
More electrical bits? Oh, go on then...
35mm² battery cable for my new shunt connection (future proofing for when I upgrade to a 230Ah battery and 1000w inverter), and some 10" cutters to cut/strip it.
A massive pack of red and black adhesive lined heatshrink, and a 6mm post busbar/distribution block for all the current negatives which are all on the battery terminal, which I'll need to move.

Some upgraded speakers for my doors, to replace the upgraded speakers I have in my doors, that were an upgrade from OEM toilet paper speakers.
If only I’d stop buying things, and then rebuying them I might be able to retire
Right, I am self diagnosing a serious mental disorder….
Less than 2 weeks after selling my lithium leisure battery and DC-DC, that I only installed about a month or so ago, and then decided I didn’t need so removed, I now have the exact same lithium battery and dc-dc in my shopping basket
WTAF is wrong with me?

It's called transporter-itis where the brain never functions right whilst in ownership of a transporter and makes your wallet function like its got diarrhea. I have the same issue. Only curable by being stoned to death by wife. HTH
