What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Jimbob76]

You’ll be fine as you won’t be rocking the van. Just take things easy and chock the wheels on the ground

Nice one, and yes to chocks - have those. I’ll give it a go, softly softly…

Top job @GONA66 - looks great. I’ve used Hammerite Smooth Red on callipers before - good rich colour, and very resilient to the heat temps required. I’ve found that better and easier to apply than dedicated caliper paints in the past.

I need to do this on mine - have a 2.5 tonne trolley jack and a couple of 2 tonne (each) axle stands in the garage, used on my old Audi S3, but not sure if these will cut the mustard on the van? Wondering if I need to get a beefier jack and stands? What are you using to lift and support yours pal?

Hi ,I just use the 3 tonne trolley jack and leave it on that ! Although as a safety net I position a large block of wood under the chassis. ( old purlin cut up )

Didn't have too much cleaning g of the calipers this time as van only has 176 miles on it. .

What jack will you be using and where are you going to keep it?

Fitted the waste water tank.



Pleased that it doesn’t hang down below the side bars.



Just waiting for the P clips to arrive to tidy up the pipe run.

What jack will you be using and where are you going to keep it?

The standard one lives in our double seat
