Re: What did you do to your van today?
Managed to order an engine cover on eBay for £40 inc postage and it looks in decent condition, amazing what happens when you make an offer rather than paying full price!
Ordered side rail cover
Found fuse to sort fog lights and interior lights (must have blown it last week when did roof insulation, doh!) Why dont VW have fuse layouts in manuals or fuse box lids... Arrgghhh
Lifted ply floor to find dirty but undamaged body, so quick clean with some carb cleaner and whacked down some insulation and got the floor back down all in the space of a couple of hours. Hoping that will quieten the back down wee bit as the sound deadening and insulation up sides and roof didn't make too much difference.
Anyone know what the mount thingys are called for the engine cover?

Before you spend a fortune on ebay, go to your local scrap yard. I got 2 of the ball mounts for £2. Most VAG cars have them on

New DRL bulbs arrived. Box was actually thinner than the bulbs so bulging with the smallest piece of bubble wrap possible. Surprised the bulbs were in one piece but they looked ok. Fitted them and one doesn’t work! Contacted seller for replacement.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Got my mk4 lights fitted yesterday, need to get them coded still so if anyone local to Northampton can do it on a 2015 it’ll be much appreciated!
Then got a message from my uncle telling me he had a brand new set of mk4 lenses non tinted in his garage I could of bought! To late since I’d already bought some!
But available if anyone else is interested!

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Spent an hour searching the scrap yard. List of bits I wanted, only managed to find a battery box but it was missing the lid, got it for £5.
Found lots of boxes all missing lids, reckon they yank them off when removing the batteries.
Going to be my Saturday morning trip from now on as it’s half a mile away from where I drop my stepson off
