Added an armrest which I’ll get retrimmed when I decide on seats,

And finally got round to installing my w8 interior light I’ve had in a box for months now Image

Ran the wiring for the high beam assist and rls sensor at the same time, just got to get a screen now and I can get that installed,

Thanks! Yeah, I swap back and forth between the AT and LP wheels. Amazing what a huge difference in "character" there is between the two, almost like 2 different cars.

Started the van on my birthday morning to a flashing glow plug light on the dash.

Plugged it into diagnostics and its came up with fuel pressure regulator fault.

Anyone know how much this is gonna cost to fix?

Drove from Norwich to Dub Unit to get Matt to remap the Caddy. The van now pulls a lot cleaner than the Revo map I had done, plus the fuel economy is back to more how it had been. Matt is also a really interesting guy to talk to with a wealth of knowledge. Just a shame Dub Unit isn't a bit closer to home for some future work.

Looks mint dude! Just about to pull the pin on the same bumper, was it a straight fit or did anything need moving to accomodate?

Busy weekend, door cards off so thought I would do a few jobs, door entry lights added, window switches swapped, door handles swapped for chrome ones, sound proofing added and finally the dreaded whistle has gone with the removal of those stupid mirrors ImageImageImageImageImageImage

Thanks palImage... not a straight forward fit as its made from 2 bumpers so lots of fettling prior to paint but after that pretty easy fit

Pretty standard stuff but, picked up Touran based for €20 and Passat CC seats for €40 euro...bargin!
Fitted and wired the drivers seat and the passenger seat.
Added a Touran armrest and fitted mudflaps and a row bar this weekend.
The van already has spot lights so the only remaining thing I’d like to do is for side bars and fix a dent in the back door.
Has anyone a rough price for respraying the left spade rear door....black metallic paint?
