What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Badjamin]

Took van in for new brakes as 'check brake wear' has been bullying me for a week. Turns out it's the brake wiring loom that needs replacing as it's been catching from what I can see so that's what I've done... established minor distain for the previous owner and dealership and anyone else other than me...

Also my guy says my front nearside shock DOES need replacing as mentioned by @CRS Performance on here a week or so back - pretending i didn't read that message didn't seem to resolve anything - gosh darn!


So am lookin for a replacement or a set of front bill steins F4-22196712-BO without springs as Those are okay apparently...

Luckily the money I had raised for the brakes will help towards shock replacement.



Another Volkswallet day in paradise!

Hope everyone has a grand old time this weekend

P.s. yes I will be getting dust covers and hopefully a steam clean. Am just enquiring with dealership if any of the above is covered in my warranty - doubtful

Today's little addition was printed and fitted a middle cup holder tray in the T6. Probably going to cover it in alcantara

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

Same, never worked and I can’t see how it could?

Same, never worked and I can’t see how it could?

Is it actually a lock device or is it to keep the door slightly ajar when the van is in store so the inside of the fridge doesn't turn into a fusty cave of ick?

This. It's an ajar device.

Ah HA! !
What a silly bunt. Mystery solved!
It has two 'levels' of click. First one is really easy, second one feels like it's being forced but it does come out further and engage into the hole in the top of door!
@The Flying Scotsman give it a go!

Got the solar hooked up and charging my Clayton LPS unit

 

[TallPaul_S]

93w even in this weather! Looks like a 250w panel?

Sun has been on and off here today but was impressed. Turned my fridge on to help drain the battery and checked it 2 hours later and we have a cool fridge and a full battery!

Panel is a Renogy 200W

Finally got ACC working on my T6 after fiddling with coding and modules for about two weeks.

Is your Startline a DSG? I would love ACC but don’t think it’s worth it as I have a manual Startline

Finally started the carpet job. Fairly happy with how it's coming together. Doing the pockets is t as nice as I'd hoped but it's passable. What a pain in the tears.

Table door panel and the off side interior for Sunday

 

[Green Giant]

experimenting with making a little awning tarp for the sliding window, for a bit of protection when cooking in the van, in the British weather, need to get some proper guy lines to tension properly.
Originally was going to use the awning rail channel to slid the tarp on using a Kador strip, but as iv now also fitted brackets to the rail, to mount recovery boards, no access, iv resorted to a section of hardwood dowel through a sleeve in the tarp and two rail brackets, but there’s plenty of room for water to still flow though the rail.
Rolls up nicely round the dowel
We will see how it goes in a few weeks time..

Finally installed the LED interior bulbs I bought a year ago. Surely I've had 10 mins spare before today???!
Also removed my tailgate striker with a plan to make it stop squeaking. Plan unravelled pretty quick. On to plan B

Got some Adblue & topped up.. also got a Fire extinguisher & first aid kit delivered ready for the conversion.
Spoken to a fitter, decided colours for the units, floor, bed, as well as the canvas for the pop top. Looking about 2-3 weeks to get it in.. hasn’t quite sunk in yet that it’s happening!
