What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[moomin-j]

So finally got the Fogstar and inverter fitted. All working and BIG thanks to @Dellmassive for the support. Wouldn't have been able to finish it without the assist. Now where's that bloody milk frother?

Nice install @Matt-T68
Are you using a OEM swivel passenger seat, just wondering how much gap there is between the top of the Fogstar & the bottom of the swivel?

 

[RedUn]

@RedUn Do you just need to plug this in as you've done in the pic, or do you need to set it up somehow? Mine has arrived today but there were no instructions with it.

Sorry for delay, yep, just plug it in and off you go

Oh and I finished off a few little jobs on the worktop yesterday - drilling and countersinking the LED channel, drilling holes for the mounting brackets.

Just given the underside its first coat of Osmo Polyx

I have the RIB swivels with a 20mm lift. Clears the battery no problem.

I know it's a portable Nespresso machine, but which one is it?

 

[roadtripper]

It's one of the very fancy Nespresso Barista milk frothers, not a full coffee machine.

I'll stick with instant, or if I'm feeling a little fancy, I'll use the aeropress

£3.83 could be another option...

I have some similar in the van.

I can picture her now at 7.30 in the morning, bustling to your van elbows out, striding with purpose!
Not really, she's a lie in type of girl who probably won't see 11am while on holiday!
She will love a cup of aerated frothiness!

@moomin-j - I don't think so John. I was happy with THQ V3s installed in 2020. 2 x MOT passes. I am not going to throw another few hundred quid to a grand to upgrade the lights.

Today (02/04) I got the THQ Headlights reinstated and the beam patterns set up correctly.
I am a happy Hector today. Normal night vision again.

 

[Salty Spuds]

Fitted a nice new set of rear discs & pads from the lovely people @Nutexa Frictions

 

[Toenheel]

Feeling happy again.. rode my Leighton splitter up a kerb in Aldi in the dark the other week. Loosened sikaflex on passenger side. Re bonded last night and strapped up with bungie cords. Good as new tonight. So satisfying for someone with major OCD.

Decided the straps were annoying me so made a quicker release strap for my Pop Top. Works well to be fair. (Will keep a couple of straps in the van in case one of the clips break while out and about)
