What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[DaveCrampton]

After 6 months with an Airbag fault, due to me swivelling my double front seat, then accidentally switching on the ignition I booked my van into my garage to have the error reset last week. Today I removed the front seats to install heater and battery/charger and then switched on the ignition to lower the driver's window....

Fitted gloss black plastics to my T6.1. Not that happy with the quality of them - they were the Vanstyle ones - but they were cheap! May investigate better options instead.

I took the chrome strips and badge off my shuttle and vinyl wrapped them - looks good from over 3 metres!

Fitted the Vankraft folding seat bracket and made a plywood backboard from the 9mm plywood I had left after cutting my floor batons. planned to take a few pics but got carried away and forgot.

Fitted the underbody panels back onto the Shuttle. I had taken them off on Saturday to install a diesel heater. I was nervous driving anywhere in the wet with the new heater out in the open and the control stuff under the adblue tank. I feel much more comfortable with the panels back on. I also fettled the panel so the heater's exhaust was not touching anything plastic and the inlet heater tube was not restricted.

Updated the Kenwood boot up screen to look a bit nicer.

Followed this guide (there's a useful video on there too)

How To Change Kenwood Load Screen | Customise Start Screen 2018

Coming into 2018 with the all new range we keep getting asked How To Change Kenwood Load Screen or Kenwood Start Up Screen so you can customise it.

carboncarsystems.com.au

It has the text file you need to save on USB available to download on that page too and then you just save whatever image you want as your boot up screen.

@Salty85. Cheers. Where did the image come from?

Just cheap ebay ones as my expensive ones peeled off!

I just Google image searched for “Volkswagen boot screen” and picked that one. Link for it is below:

Plenty of other options on there too… you just have to save it in the right format as the instructions say to make it display properly.

Finally managed to order and fit some new lights front and rear - was looking into LED or HID but will just change whiter halogen bulbs every 6 months and not worry about MOT

Steering wheel was meant to be here Tuesday via Special Delivery but due to strikes that’s out the window if at all and no updates since Monday eve (not feeling hopeful)
