They are ace, even my other half likes them
Fitted a set of foglights and front parking sensors, bit fiddly but thank god for multitools!
Few days off so tackling a big list!
Finished fitting the diesel heater, fitted the leisure electrics and ran solar cables. Onto the 12v wire up/insulation and carpet lining tomorrow!

Rattle canned my black winter Steelies Red ! I like it but there's a few that don't !!
Pretty unlucky with punctures having to put 4 Space savers on......
More messing about with the EcoFlow Delta Mini 
I think I have the optimum setup now….
Can charge it in situ via mains lead by running an extension into the back of the van from the garage.
Can trickle charge it via an ignition live feed with an XT60 plug going into the Delta.
Have a 13A 3 pin plug running to my mains sockets that plugs into the Delta.
And now I have replaced the cigarette lighter plug on the end of my 12v USB sockets and lights with a DC5521 jack plug. The cigarette plug kept working lose and none of the 12v worked.
Hopefully that is the install issues ironed out.
In situ in the Kombi bench storage box being charged by the mains - the Wi-Fi hotspot is plugged in to the usb at the front of the Delta.

got any pics?
Fitted some LED ‘mood/ambient’ lighting to the front and back of my Kombi bench storage box/speaker cabinet. Continuing the nice red glow about the place…
This is design number 357 of diy interior Kombi storage and I think it works well for my needs. Right cupboard is where the Ecoflow lives and left cupboard is dustpan and brush, boot liner, bag with bits and bobs in like extended wheel brace, wheel locating peg etc.
Trouble is I just got this right and now I’ve bought the extra floor brackets to enable the bench to be moved back a row - which means this box won’t work the size it is and will take up the remaining ‘boot‘ space.

I’ll be taking panel off next week when I run solar cables , will pop up a few pics then
Fitted some Osram LED sidelights and some Novsight H4 LEDs - love the white crisp lights. No idea if they’re any better when driving but that’s not why I bought them.
Will give them a proper test in the morning and see if I get any bulb out warnings on the dash.
Also got to fit some Osram Cool Blue intense H11s in the fog lamps - supposed to be a crisp white like an LED but as they‘re halogen the fade in/out corner lights should still work the same.

Fitted the slimline weather shields.
First side carpet lined today, was expecting it to be a worse job than it actually was. Just under 2 hours for the driver’s side. Started raining so retreated indoors to trim some of the ply panels!
I‘m running Travelinlite DRL LEDs - no bulb warning on dash
Fitted the Osram sidelights and H4 LEDs and I got a bulb warning this morning - so it looks like I’ll have to hook up VCDS and code it out.
Actually very pleased with the bright crisp white lighting I now have from the outside
Nice job. I was stressed that the glue was drying out but realised after doing one side that you have ages.
