My aftermarket reverse sensors have been playing up, beeping constantly even when there’s nothing in the way. I’ve removed one and got the manufacturer and part number from it. I’m going to remove them one by one and see which one(s) have gone faulty.
Although at £65 for a set of 4 I might just change the lot.
Oh and I pulled my back getting up from lying down on the floor! That wouldn’t have happened when I was 25!

I feel for you Pete know that feeling all to well

Did a few things recently. Upgraded the light switch to one that can do the auto lights, fixed the cracked third brake light, did my first ever oil service myself (which has incidentally stopped occasional oil lights and EGR related errors, weirdly), and replaced one of the barn door latches and cleaned the other one, which seems to have fixed my random alarms. Locks all round seem to be showing their age, passenger side door is a bit sticky and the sliding door needs a look too. That said now, those are the only little issues that are lurking at the moment, which is nice.

Must be due some kind of catastrophe

The van has had to go, after 2 years of big bills I've had enough and it's been traded in for a nice sensible estate. Got to say this forum has been a godsend and the knowledge base that you good people have is amazing. It's a shame, the van is great to drive and with the few mods I made through my ownership made it a comfortable space to be in but I just can't keep paying out.

I've got a handful of parts I purchased through COVID and never got round to fitting so I'll be putting some sale posts together in the next few days

What I did to my van today was... not drive it. The first time since the start of December that I have jumped in the car to go to work! After 6 weeks of driving the van my 140 feels sooo small! But also very fast!

Been busy on the van lately. Mods include Touran front and rear carpets, sound deadening the cab, Golf R seats plus heat loom, Climatic panel and sensors, ASR off button, under seat sub, W8 light, Touran armrest including vent ducting and 12v socket, extra 12v socket in the rear of the van, heated fan washer jets and mirror puddle lights.

I think that's it for now

Got cracking on my new to me van this week. Fitted/swapped out:
Cadiz alloys from Golf R
Bilstein B14 lowering kit
MK7 Golf R front brake set (calipers, discs & EBC yellowstuff pads)
Touran rubber mat set
Genuine F+R mudflap set.
Ecotune Stage 1 remap
Osram H4 LED headlamp bulbs

Carried out full service inc brake fluid & gearbox oil
Cleaned out all debris from behind arch liners and washed/blew out.
Hoovered/blew out leaf debris etc from scuttle area while doing suspension.
Stripped out load floor phenolic ply ready for repainting with epoxy
Washed out floor pan.

Next week (if I get time?):
Clutch kit
Timing belt kit + water pump
Instal load area ply with long rivets
Polo multifunction steering wheel
Life mirrors
Make new arch liners in phenolic ply
Strip out std front seats and wash floor pans/rubber soundproofing.

And breathe!

Got my clutch kit in today along with gearbox oil change.

Ply lining on floor is now riveted back down.

Fitted the mk6 Golf under tray.

Front seats are out and floors/load bulkhead washed with flash floor cleaner. Smells really fresh!!
MK4 heated seat fitted to o/s/f and waiting for kufatec loom to arrive.

Base coated mirror cappings in gloss black before leaving work this evening.

Making progress!

Changed the rear antiroll bar bushes, five minute job one side ,half hour for the other after the fastening sheared off. Welded a nut on the bit that poked out on the other side and wound the broken bit on through. Luckily in the bottom of my spanner box was a vw bolt from a service kit that could be shortened to suit.
The annoying rattle that sounded like a loose floor has gone
