What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Austhorpe61]

Had some new wheels and tyres fitted today. 17” Tomahawk wheels & RXQUEST ROADX AT tyres. Need to wash off the blue protection tomorrow to reveal the white writing in all it's glory Feels like the van has it's big boy pants on now. Just got to figure out what to do with 4 brand new spare wheels and tyres

Forgot also had the windows tinted. Felt it looked like a hearse being able to see the curtains.

Great addition

VW designers really need to take a visit to Volvo. I managed to change a bulb in 4 mins, wearing gloves, on my sister's XC90 by removing the entire headlight unit with just two metal bars locking it in place.

That'll be the P3 variant then.

The reason it's so good is the P2 variant (mine) was god awful, to change a lamp it's either bumper off or remove ECU boxes that are tight behind them. I had to do one by hand on holiday in Scotland during the Beast from the East and it took about 3 hours.

I just take it to the dealer who can do it in about 20 mins while I wait.

Let us know what you have. I would be interested in some new 17inch alloys.

£12.99 a year? Cheaper than the standard, accepted by spouses, £20 per purchase limit! Great value!

Fitted new thermometer/ hydrometer unit.

Plyworx halo head liner installed today! Bit of a faff on your own, but I got there in the end!

Sleeping away in the van next week rather than hotel whilst working away. Sorting out some priority bits.. cushions and TV.

 

[Austhorpe61]

Thanks guys, didn't spot the VIP membership bit, thought you had to build up a number of posts. Have paid for that and posted the details of the wheels and tyres for sale

Not strictly today but fitted some sound insulation in the scuttle over the weekend. Didn't seem to make as big a difference as I was expecting. Alas, another job done and I was glad when the wipers came off with a magic tap in the right place - no tools required!

Big ass stone chip in the middle of Germany . Looks like it is fixable so should find out next week when the windscreen guy comes around.

Is that the hairy bikers walking past your van?

Not today, but yesterday.
Had 340mm brake kit with Nutexa discs and pads fitted to Fronts, and new Nutexa discs, and new calipers and pads to rears.

Looking good there @BoroBoy - nice old skool R logo as well
Generally, is there an improvement to stopping power with going up a size from standard front @308mm to bigger 340mm "big brakes"?

 

[BoroBoy]

Only drove the van 6 miles since the brakes were done. I was taking it easy, so couldn't really tell at the moment.

Still waiting for the garage to sort out my adblu issue... been ages now

 

[RobertO2023]

Been to CRS for full H and R adjustable set up.
A vast improvement from standard
Ride quality and handling is now spot on.
Many thanks to Steve and the boys for doing a perfect job!
