Three glaring ones....clue: starts with “statement”!
Though I did revise my view when @CAB reminded me of your carbon door handles!
How are the number plate lights different? I have the Travelin-Lite ones and one of mine is not working. When I fitted them to my barn doors I found they worked until I tightened the screws. I guess I need to loosen the screws a bit more
Not really. Hence the reach out for thoughts.
Which one ?
I made the glovebox and phone ones myself.
This bit:
“It was a Christmas pressie and came with everything, drill bit to the correct size, connectors, cable ties; everything. It was made up as a proper wrapped harness and was pretty good quality. Instructions were clear and easy to follow”

The terminal ends are actually in a different style. One is longer and the other is shorter and fatter. I queried it with my supplier and they knew of the problem. It’s all about what ones the VW group fitted at the time. For example barn doors are the same as Skoda, Passat and golf, but up and over doors are the same as Jetta, phaeton and anorak. For example. Don’t know if those compatible groups are correct
Was your solution to replace the lights or something else?
Managed to remove the Kombi seat fittings today by using 300mm m8 rods, easier than I thought didn't have to lower it fully to remove them.
Hopefully will put up full kombi seats/belts/flooring/brackets for sale soon!
Then got all the 9mm packers stuck down and weighted
Next week will be deadening/insulation then floor. Can get the units I put together at christmas in then!

Hi Andysmee.
All of the info that I found online indicated that the LED units that you can buy are suitable for barn doors only. So I went back to the original bulb holders, cleaned the pickup contacts on the van as I read that they can corrode/ oxidise preventing a good connection and then made the terminal on the bulb holder bigger by using some tin foil tightly wound until it was strong enough. Then I fitted LED replacement festoon bulbs. After some jiggling they worked! Nice to know I am not the only one having number plate light issues!!
Got to charge up the batteries by running Jr. to work this morning as Mrs Loz didn't want him riding he motorbike to the station.
I now need to order new wiper blades as these are shot. It didn't help having to rip them off the screen this morning though.

New starter battery, £120 and a 3 year guarantee, not too bad I didn’t think.
More sound deadening and pulling wiring for EHU and dc to dec charger through from the engine bay. And a bit of homeschooling.
Its been one of those days, dropped a torx key into the engine bay and haven't seen it since. Not entirely sure what to do with that one!

That’s a lot of fiddly welding!
It’s called tenacity, something which I don’t have! Good luck @Niknak.
