What’s the fancy plastic bit on the top of the steering wheel for?
I would say its a colour gauge of RPM when to change gear id take a guess at.
Washed it.
Just your standard, run of the mill, black van, 3 hour long weekday evening wash...
Gave the bonnet and sides a bit of clay action, the bonnet was surprisingly clear - the sides less so. Lots of ingrained tar and iron that even a treatment with gtechnic products, and the clay bar struggled to shift.
When I start getting the exterior up to standard, those fog lights are getting some yellow tint applied to them. They're almost yellow already!

Fitted a gift from my friend to my fridge.
It’s a bit of sheet metal that’s been hand made.
He bought it for my man cave but I really like it so it’s gone in the van.

Have you ever got that 'lock device' on the top left to work on that THQ fridge? Mine doesn't even come close to touching the door
Lock device???
I will need to investigate.
Also what have you got your fridge and freezer set to?
This should slide down to fit in a hole in the top of the door. Ours pokes out of the bottom of the frame but doesn't come close to the reciprocal hole in the door.
Temps set to -12 and 4. Works fine, really happy with it especially the open from either side feature.
@Richard85 I tried those self adhesive cable tie pads on the painted body under my vans tail lights to secure some water tank vent tubes. Even with a thorough cleaning they don’t stay stuck for long.
You may have to find a different way to secure the conduit.
Will try it tomorrow thanks
Works fine on mine
I used a spot of Sikaflex when the double sided tape popped off my cable guides.
After investigating I’ve worked out it is a lock but not to lock it shut. It’s to lock it slightly ajar for ventilation when not in use so the light doesn’t come on.
That is correct, stops it smelling when not in use
Bought and installed window pods for the side windows. Gave the fuel lagoon stick on blinds a go first which just made me regret not getting the window pods in the first place.
It’s both handy and expensive having Leighton Vans 20 mins down the road.

Expensive but worth it. Easy to install too. Just make sure you read the install guide on their website. For them to fit right you often have to remove pieces of trim.
Yep. Ours doesn't do that either!That is correct, stops it smelling when not in use
the 'lock' doesn't touch the door anywhere.
Finally got a replacement set of side bars on after the previous set dropped to bits from rust - debating throwing the front mudguards back on to help protect them but still unsure. These are the THQ ones, seem a lot better quality and the powder coating on the Matt ones is textured almost like Raptor coat so hopefully a lot more durable.
Second this
