Great progress @Samro...nothing like stripping something apart when it's only a few days old and everything is clean and comes apart nicely.!
@Spaghetti - Thanks for the response. I will order some.
Miles better! How?
That's weird. I've just driven home in a PV courtesy van from Vertu Hereford and it has the same crazing on the lower half of the clocks. I reckon it's down to alcohol wipes, but it's odd that there is a defined line half way up. They are under strict instructions not to go anywhere near my van with any sort of cleaning product.
All that might not matter tho', as I've asked them to give me a valuation to buy it. Just an option, but now might be the best time to get out of it whilst the going is so good.

Scratched Cluster Plastic
IMO the problem is it’s scratched through cleaning. If you don’t touch the lens it can’t get scratched.
I’m looking for a van at the moment if you do decide to sell.
Thanks
I used some mezerna medium polish as the plastic polish wasn't doing anything. With a soft handheld pad
It was so bad but I know the plastic is so soft, it even marks with microfiber cloths if they aren't plush
Finally removed the grill that I have been using for storage space. The converter has used copper pipe for the gas but had connected it all from the back before sliding the whole unit in place, so the grill didn't come out easily as it wasn't designed to ever come out, so I had to coerce the pipe out a little to be able to get a hand and spanner round the back to disconnect it. Pipe seems to be intact. There's a really small connector of about 10mm to cap off now, thanks to the beds, bucks team for help there.
The plan is to fit some drawers somehow. Got the winter to work that bit out. In the meantime I have a bigger storage hole!

@david173 - The Van x top glove box comes with a cut out to fit the the usb hidden by the trims. The glove box also comes with a blank that fits where the usb is in the dash. Easy job to relocate the dash usb into the Van X glovebox and then fit the blank.
Thanks for the info, much appreciated
I got them from the forum shop before it closed down. Maybe @Pauly could help with manufacturer details. They are very bright so I’d recommend a dimmer if used inside the van but perfect for tailgate lighting. I’ve wired them to the leisure battery setup.
Quick wash for the two of them this morning…
Started dry fitting VanFurniture sliding bed system.....
The fun begins!!!
I had a new Photonics Universe 160W solar panel fitted. It replaces another one that some may have read about when I reported that it flew off the van driving down to the South of France in September. The old one was stuck on with double side tape but the new one has apparently been bonded on and so hopefully won't meet the same fate. If the weather is good tomorrow, I might be tempted to stick a run of good quality gaffer tape over the leading edge as well (the gap has already been filled).. I'm torn over naming the firm who did the job as on the one hand, it was their panel that came off in the first place but on the other hand, their response to the whole affair has been nothing but positive as they offered to fit the replacement free of charge without prompting from me - the first one had been in place for 19 months when disaster struck.
