Managed to change the oil cooler after I got oil in the coolant. And flushed it a good 8 times.
Still a few specs of oil in there and still needs more flushes.

One of the worst jobs I’ve done in the van. Water and oil everywhere.

Not done today but had a proper drive about locally to see how the lowered suspension faired. Overall it was pretty good, some parts of the drive seemed a bit bouncier and maybe other parts seemed a bit harsher but none of it so bad that I would swap it back. The only 2 things I have any concerns about is the mud flaps where I'm going to have to be a bit more careful what I drive over and the power steering is just a bit more noticeable when getting near full lock. No plans to change the wheels yet so the 16s will have to do.

Finally got round to colour coding the wing mirror covers, ordered a new drivers mirror as the previous owner put a manual one on instead of an electric one. New heater dials arrive today.ImageImage

There is 2 British Gas blue colours one 2010 and older and the other 2011 onwards if I remember correctly, the newer is a lighter shade so double check your using the rite one.
