What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Bigsidavies]

Replaced my door mounted central locking switch that had corroded and stopped working using the micro switch segment from a Passat b7 switch that I bought off eBay.
Nice little £9 fix. I can lock myself in at night again now.

Others will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're not supposed to attach anything (like your Battery Monitor) to the negative post of the battery - something to do with it bypassing a 'shunt'

They should be grounded to a part of the vehicle, I used this bolt here:-

Does this apply to the T6 or 6.1??

If by "this" you're referring to grounding to vehicle, rather than to battery -ve, then it applies to both T6s and T6.1s.

You are correct. I’m working on the fact that 0.0015A won’t have much impact. Fingers crossed!

I'm sure Mr @Dellmassive has mentioned in a post (somewhere!) that it won't hurt anything.

Had a couple of weeks of it all happening, came together real quick, body shop for the roof to be welded and painted, had them do the windows and swamper plastics too, had a set of kmc holeshots sat waiting for the right van, so a fresh refurb on them, then a trip to Lincoln over the weekend for a proper roof rack, buzzing with it so far

That’s looking damn fine sir!! What are you doing regards your spare wheel/ tyre storage? I’ve been looking at the Hess and Terranger rack Systems.

In anticipation of a rumble from my eagerly awaited delivery of new (Rogue ravage) wheels n Michelin Agilis cross climates, I’ve sound deadened the cabin floor and arches.

 

[tommy_t6.1]

Steelies back on for winter. Tyres were dead on the alloys so was a good time to swap! Haha

 

[T6Plumber]

Upper B Pillar in Silver Milano & Lower B Pillar in pre-fabbed leather with black stitch - which I think matches up nicely with the Caravelle Doors I did last weekend.

Didn’t realise the whole bench seat needs to come out for me to do the passenger side so leaving that until I’m off over Xmas.

Suffering from some over indulgence of Guinness last night thought I'd spend an hour or so out in the fresh air cleaning the van
