thanks to @RedUn for helping me spend some more money on these rear quarter trims that we’re missing on my van. Not really what I imagined them to be, rubber seal that sticks on the window. I was thinking they would be a h shaped seal that slotted over the glass on one side.
Thanks also the @Spaghetti to help my spend some more! Second (actually third if you include the faulty one) set installed following the installation of the bike rack. Aftermarket 1200N ones were too much and creaky too, original 900N not enough second hand 985N OEM ones just right
(The ones in the photo are actually the aftermarket ones as installed already)

What's the Philips like? Does it have much more than a standard map?
Will be getting the slow road books myself.
As I understand it the company have access to various testing on braking capacity etc that allows them to state with some certainty the maximum capacity of a vehicle type.
From a customer perspective I just filled out a form from their website that included the type of tyres and wheels fitted and vehicle details then paid a fee. They contact the DVLA, send me a plate and a certificate and I send the V5 and certificate to DVLA and await it's return with an increase of capacity.
Slightly disappointed if I’m completely honest.
It’s slightly clearer and easier to read than the Collins, but the scale is almost the same.
Collins on the left, Philip’s on the right.
Pages 6 to 45 are a larger scale (1.57 miles per inch), but the areas I wanted it for are in a smaller scale (3.15 miles per inch)
My fault entirely for not researching properly.
The “Slow Road” book on the other hand looks really good, twice the size I was expecting at 1 and a 1/4 inches thick.
Young people everywhere; "What's that? What's it for?"
They look a bit more chunky than my Cross Climates, be interested in how you find them this winter
Ok on icy roads and mud, completely hopeless on snow and wet grassI million times better even now from what I was running...
Bugger, I was only pricing them up this morning as a potential buy. That said, I don't really understand how yours could be so different from the 'car / SUV' version that I've got on another car, albeit in 20" form and whose performance on every surface has been exemplary - that's the main reason that I was looking at them for the van (but they would be 17").
