Today was another good day, i went to 4 scrapyards before i finally came across a decent one. They had 3 tourans in stock.

In the first scrappy i picked up just one touran base for 30 quid

When i found the decent yard, I picked up a set of mint black carpets, a set of door cards and a set of touran bases all for 90 quid! Bargain!

So i have one touran seat base for sale with all the bolts if any one needs it, i will put it it up for sale tomorrow once i clean it. I will also have a set of standard facelift seats and door cards if anyone needs them.

Any way i fitted the carpets, door cards and seat bases and it looks so much better, i will get some pics up tomorrow when i get some better light.

I still need a drivers side mirror with the aerial in it if anyone has one, i do not mind the color or if the glass is broken, thanks

Hi all,

Just came back from a weeks trail riding enduro bikes in the Spanish mountains. It was awesome! Pity i landed back in horrible weather!

On the bright side (no pun intended) my nighteye H4 led bulbs had been delivered while i was away.

I fitted them today and the difference is unreal. Really clear light and no scatter. I got a friend to drive against me in the van to make sure they arent blinding and they are all good. Very impressed. The only little annoyance is they flash 3 times but i believe that can be programmed out.

Just waiting on my led drl's to turn up now

Has anyone managed to fit a crosser/enduro bike in a SWB caddy? Pics would be appreciated.ImageImageImage

Been a while since I've updated this, last month i took out the bulkhead to gain more seating room, its far more comfortable except for the noise!!!!

I did an 8 hour road trip and had to have the stereo up full blast to hear it so yesterday i set about making it quieter.

I treated all single skin area's to some Dodo dead mat, really ease to cut and apply.
Also did the rear wheel arches too as it felt like this was a big source of the noise.

I then filled the cavities with recycled plastic loft insulation for a bit of thermal insulation.

On the floor i put down a layer of foil bubble insulation to give a decoupling later and the covered the whole floor with mass loaded vinyl before putting the ply on top.

I haven't taken it on the motorway yet but just driving around town the difference is unreal!!

Next will be to carpet the back and lay some flooring.

I have a question, how have people held the ply panels on in the "window" area?

Installed my cruise control and trip stalks today, it was very easy but for some reason the cruise wouldnt activate in the engine section of VCDS. I left it for a few minutes and it accepted it.

Also fitted my mats from MVM but forgot to take pics of them

The inside is slowly getting to where i want
