MICTUNING Marine Battery... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07N1G7KG7
cheers @Fozzer ..it’s definitely the way I want to go. It would work with carrying my MTB between the two side units
Brightened the dash up a bit.
@laidbackian what paint or product did you use?
After removing the trims, I gave them a good clean clean in warm soapy water, followed with a final clean with IPA. Then masked them, which is the most time consuming part of the process, before applying:
- 2 x coats of plastic primer.
- 2 x coats of paint.
- 2 x coats of clear lacquer.
Looks a top job.
Just had my new spare shot blasted and primed, now to cover it in hammerite, fit the part worn tomorrow, sling it under the van and hopefully never see it again. (as in not get a puncture, not stolen)
Fitted a makeshift exhaust shield from a length of plastic drain pipe.
My diesel heater's exhaust sticks out from a cut out in the underside plastic panel. I don't like the idea of water ingress etc as the hole is larger that the exhaust. So I cut a length of plastic drain pipe and then sliced it length ways. Then heated and shaped to fit under the van to shield the gap. I'm quite happy with the result.

@Salty85 - How is this done? Any specific downloads needed?
I followed this guide here...
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.

They have a text file you can download to USB which tells the head unit what to display on boot up and you just need to save an image to the USB in the right format.
Many thanks, looks really good
But why is it not mounted at 90 degrees to this?
I like the fabrication from drainpipe, I can think of some other uses for that technique. On the exhaust, on my old van the silencer is behind the undertray, and a length of pipe goes on the end to poke out through a small hole, pointing down and backwards.
...to replace a leaky window.
Sheared of the threaded lug to the passenger seat base when refitting nut after adding some silicone grease, to hopefully address squeaks. Instructions made no mention of avoiding over-tightening. If anyone can offer any solutions they'd be greatly received. I did think drilling out out replacing with conventional nut and bolt may be a solution, but can see this being a ball-ache (inevitably needing to remove seat base to drill out to avoid swarf entering electrical components), a b*gger to hold in place from beneath and wouldn't want to compromise on safety at all.
