We have a folding step, but the problem is there being nothing convenient to grab hold of to help steady yourself.

What about putting that Poundland clip on your passenger seat head rest with a leather handle strap attached to it? If your wife can use her left arm as well as her right the strap, perhaps combined with a step, will help her get in and out without a strain. There’s also no risk of damaging the door by shutting it on the clip.

I had to fit a grab handle on the passenger A pillar and now i need to look at one on the B pillar for the slider ....either that or trade her for a taller model with longer legs (and less attitude)

More altitude! Less attitude

Maybe you could fit the Ovano table, the leg clamps solid and a perfect diameter to grab hold of, use a step and this to keep your balance, obviously you can use it as a table too if required

I have a spare A pillar handle you can have if you want it? Just pay postage. If so. Dm me

Might look into that idea. I'm just a bit nervous about drilling into bits of bodywork, not knowing what's behind the trim, especially as it's a brand new van.

 

[Matt-T68]

The Ovano comes with tech screws which self drill and there's nothing behind where they go. I have these both sides on my T6.1

Didn't know such a thing existed?

Neither did I, but u had a look on here and found someone fitting one.

Mine arrived, came with the plastic tool remover. I pushed it at bottom left of heater plastics, popped it put and added the lead. Took me 3 mins 20 seconds (Mrs timed me cause she's sick of me saying "5 mins babe") haha

Preferable to the times I've inadvertantly slammed the door shut on the wife's fingers
But yes, that is a concern. She's suggested attaching a cord of some sort that will make it more noticeable. I'll leave it up to her, then it won't be my fault

I find that procuring an engine hoist from MachineMart or EuroParts is a sufficient hint….!!!

Any reason not to disable it by Programming?

I don't think it can be done? I had some vdcs work done and it wasn't an option. This lead is just a bypass which sets it to off as standard, but then has a button sequence to make it work if needed

Not today, but over the last week.
Ovano table, cracking bit of kit!
OEX stove. Needed a smaller more convenient way of boiling water one trips out.
DJI mini 2 SE drone. Wanted one for ages, so finally took the plunge. Absolutely love it. Although i still need to learn how to use it properly!

I love my drone, I have the mini pro 3. I had mini 2 before. Top tip, make sure you have GPS before take off and have the insurance through dji

 

[peter1987t]

Luckily, these drones are so advanced nowadays that learning how to fly is a breeze. Just hand's lose of the controls if you dont know anymore. Hehe.

If your care about flying, try and fly making squares nose forward so that you learn how it works when the craft is nose inwards.

Enjoy!

Dont go bother the next door Ms. Please hahaha

Only thing with that, is making sure you're not in restricted air space either. There are no fly zones (airports/prisons) etc. If you attempt to bypass it and get caught, you're pretty much looking at a fisting off the government

Had a Mini 3 Pro for a couple of weeks before selling it. I was amazed with it, but unfortunately living within the local airport no fly zone and never leaving my house, it was somewhat limiting in locations to fly
