What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Sackmycook]

Hi is that a t6 ?
Was checking mine out yesterday, but only near side has reverse light
Other side is a fog light I think

They are T6 LED clusters, sounds like you have halogens.....

Expensive drive to Italy with my Van.
One bent alloy, locking wheel nut seized, Windscreen cracked. My classic Volvo sitting on the side, proud.

Due to the annoying squeak that has developed from the passenger side of my van I've temporarily disabled my forward firing missiles



And installed an ejector seat

When I take my T6 Bus in for a service at the Vw main dealer, I ask them very politely not to wash it.

My neighbour, with his Ford Ranger will now be asking the same at his next service, as this is how it was returned from todays service...

Finally bothered to replace the reflector...

And will you be replacing the missus?

And will you be replacing the missus?

Nah, she's a keeper. She was annoyed at the time, complaining that she couldn't see the lamp post... Well if you CAN'T see the lamp post then it's going to be behind you! The reverse sensors would have been the biggest clue!

1. Removed Giandel 2000W pure sine wave inverter
2. Removed 85aH AGM Battery
3. Removed CTEK D250SA DC-DC and solar charger

A. Fitted 30A Reneogy DC-DC and MTTP charger and bluetooth module
B. Fitted Renogy Lithium battery
C. Fitted Ecoflow Delta 2 and wired relay to automate charging by switching from solar on van roof to +alt charging vai B+ cable (only one XT60 at back of EcoFlow delta)

The picture shows first-fit a test wiring. Everything to be tided up. Reason I did all of this is so I don't ever have to pay for EHU on campsites.

Also discovered alternator wasn't charging my engine battery (battery flat every couple days) so I used Carista battery management to recode battery and now Alternator is charging battery.

P.S. CTEK 250SA (suitable lead acid and AGM batteries only) and Giandel 2000W pure sine wave inverter for sale if anyone is interested

Mostly been having fun with the install of this today.







Straight forward job if you take your time. 11 hours work a little bit to do tomorrow.

What paint code is the teal? I was shopping for it today to paint a cabinet but couldn't find a good match.

took some of the material and had it colour matched then ordered through a paint spray colour that could mix to NCS colour hope this helps

My missus has done this twice.
Once into our garage door….
(Logically) I questioned re the parking sensors… to which she replied,
“oh I just thought it was the bins setting it off”

Given up mock testing in the van as “something” keeps failing so don’t know if it’s a lead or the controller device and vehicle vibrations so am bench testing my rgbw led set up for a couple of days and then will install it and see if it fails.

6 strips - two for each door pocket. Two for footwells.

I know it doesn’t like the lights on grey/blue wire feed as it struggles on that for some reason.

Whilst having all the dash bits out for fun hurt my finger quite badly as wow the the top dash pocket is really difficult to remove. Snapped a lug off but it doesn’t impact re fitting.



Tested a couple of simple leds on the cig lighter as always been surprised it’s not illuminated. Idea is that once led rgbw set up I’ll add a short strip in that space so it will all match (I mean 98% of time it will all be lit low red but sometimes I like other colours)!

Quite happy with the new knob as well.
