Dropped it off in Bognor for some shiny suspension bits
Just got back home, what a difference that has made!
I knew it would be more comfortable and stable but wow
STX all the way down, next job is find some wheels!

Little trip up the A1 to Chester-le- Street to collect my van from Michael and the team at SkylineNorth after her poptop fitting. Brilliant service all round and the quality of the finishing is second to none. Moved the spots and awning without issue and trimmed to match my existing finish. All handed over with a personal tour.
Excellent result!
I got mugged in Milan - I have no memory of it. They kicked the shit out of me though as I looked like a car crash victim afterwards!
Fitted front door seals. 10 minute job. Let’s see if it quietens down the cab.
Discs and pads all round as the garage didn’t have time to do them whilst servicing yesterday!
£286 front pads on special offer at Eurocarparts £11 something- about to order another set - be quick as it’s clearance stock!

Nice one!
Carpeted and fitted lights to the tailgate ply.
@moomin-j one thing I have noticed about the new ‘BIG BRAKES’…. big (bigger) brakes = more brake dust = totally messing with my OCD for trying to keep my chrome wheels clean!Cheers for the updates - appreciated

OEM standard pads or something different?
In reality, I suppose you can’t have bigger brakes without bigger dust!!
OEM pads as far as I know mate…. it’s the OEM 6.1 kit that @CRS Performance supplied and fitted. Yep, ‘it is what it is’…. bigger brakes = bigger dust = more cleaning wheels!Nooooooooo…

Fitted aftermarket (dolphin) front parking sensors. They work really well and about 1/5 cost of OEM. Biggest pain was modifying a switch blank to take the supplied (also modified) switch. Not to bad a result. I know it’s not the same as OEM but gave me something productive to do!
Hey @Adam_T6, any issues fitting these over the top of the sound deadening?
I've been looking for a way to cover the Silent Coat in my van that I'm also not carpet lining – these look perfect. I'd previously dismissed them as I didn't think they'd fit with the sound deadening.
Are they these? Black ABS Inner Wheel Arch Covers - SWB VW T5 T6 - Vanstyle
Had a play with the new poptop and introduced Ex-PD Atom to his personal sleepspace....
Yep, more brake dust has been my experience too! They’ve only been on about three weeksOEM pads as far as I know mate…. it’s the OEM 6.1 kit that @CRS Performance supplied and fitted. Yep, ‘it is what it is’…. bigger brakes = bigger dust = more cleaning wheels!
Looks much better
