Fitted a Quicklynks bm2 to the van. Let’s hope this proves my suspicions of the Moll battery
That’s great. Same button configuration I’m looking for. Mind telling me where from?
Ah you had it custom done. MaybethatS an idea.
Yeah as you can see, the wheel I bought was flat, so I never asked whether they flatten them. But I think they do their wheels with a jig and a mould, so should be able to reshape them. They’re on WhatsApp and reply fairly promptly without all the sales pressure, if you’re keen. Cost me £240 + VAT.
Today and last weekend:
1st obligatory mod (I think it's a condition of forum membership?) - dash rubber, but not before i'd lost a playmobil wine glass down there!
Team Heko wind deflectors (all easy stuff so far!)
A customised mat.......
After the first night camped on the driveway - extra poppers on the blackout curtains to seal the gaps (my wife this time)
Bit more effort for this one - Sparesaver spare wheel protector, took a while to get the old bolt off.
This weekend, having confirmed how little storage we have (more on that another day), Kiravans barn door storage, via Amazon for a few quid cheaper. After taking off carpeted ply, and after then after install:
(Sheep's wool insulation, for those wondering!)
And the other side, just to match:
Noticed on the first one as I was banging in the clips, they were all in different directions, so was careful with the second set to get them lined up with the panel, and then managed to rotate the first set.
Finally, another annoying VW abyss to fill:
Unfortunately only two were in stock, so will get some more at a later date when postage is covered by something else.
There's always something else!

Straightened up the steering wheel. Not really sure what I did to send it off centre when I swapped out the suspension. I do think a flat bottomed steering wheel is an option now, especially after seeing @Ads_Essex steering wheel!
I've got an Atera Strada DL 3 to 4 tow bar mounted rack and it's very good. It slides away from the car with the bikes in place to allow you to open the boot. However, this is on my Merc and I don't have my tailgated t30 yet to see if it will work with that.
Makes me sick when I see some dealers cleaning motors with sponges and jet wash brushes......
I leave 3 laminated sheets in the Van/Car when it gets serviced. One in the dash that everyone can read fro outside. One on the seat that has to be moved and one on the dash covering the clocks.
It states that by no means will the Car /Van be washed by anyone but myself.
Hasn't failed so far
Did you spray them yourself or was it a pro? Looks spot on.Gloss black mirror plastics fitted and decided to go all in and do the caps black too
Ignore the dirty van the front end is still in pieces, it'll be washed when it's all back together
