What did u use for that ceiling ?
Harrison Trim Supplies, Stitched patterned Vinyl. Bentley double stitch they call it. Doesn`t stretch but padded so should do a bit more sound deadening.
Replaced the anti roll bar bushes, bye bye bumpy clunky!
Finished the insulation today! Next up it’s carpeting the metalwork before carpeting and fitting the ply….

looks great...did you have to spray with water, if so, what did you have to protect?
That really came up trumps then lol
Not done anything to the van, but I have been playing with my Allpowers foldable solar panel. Tested it with my Bison Battery Box battery, eventually got it to work after some You Tube viewing. To cut a long story short, the MC4 plugs were on the wrong cables etc etc. Switched the cables at the solar controller, and bingo. Spare auxillary battery charging from Allpowers solar panel.
Picked the van up from Midland VW after having it's MOT and a Cambelt/Water Pump change. Very happy with the service overall, and they also diagnosed a faulty EGR Sensor (even showed me the sensor corrosion under the hood), and also diagnosed a faulty steering rack.......my wallet is trembling at the thought!

Not cheap but it’s for charity mate!
Looks like they have some more options now too
Well you can just spray the solution on the engine and components and use a brush to work it all in then rinse with water. Because my engine bay was very dirty I just used a garden hose and give the bay a good spray first to rinse and surface grime then worked the solution In and rinsed. Finally I used Autoglym vinyl and rubber care and sprayed that all over to protect and revitalise the hoses and plastics, you don't even need to wipe off just leave it to dry naturally.
No issues with water anywhere under the engine bay as long as you use a hose pipe on a mist and do not use a jet wash, if you do stand well back with it.

Finally got around to fitting the DC-DC charger and old starter battery . I hadn't anticipated how tight a squeeze it would be as I already had oodles of factory wiring under the seat. Managed to relocate most of it under the renogy.
