What did you do to your van today?

Took it for it's first real drive on the road as final check for the MOT tonight. I'm pleased to say the test drive passed without any incidents, although I can't get that bloody ABS light to switch off - the van is demanding a system function test, which I've tried but to no avail. Having said that, I was being cautious as it's not really supposed to be on the road yet. The MOT place is next door to a massive open car park so I'll give it another go in there before they test it.

I'll report back later!

EDIT:

Well..........

IT'S ROAD LEGAL!!

Picked mine up, 226 mile round trip from bucks to Oldham to get it. Tomorrow, sound proofing time!

Also, Gazza, swear I saw you on the M1 northbound a little after 8AM this morning going past Milton Keynes

Went to friend junkyard and got some free goodies. Trying to get some heater action going.

Replaced the rear brake pads after one disintegrated whilst I was driving home from Halfords (after getting a free AC re-gas

).

Bought a Seat engine cover off eBay and test fitted it today. Also prized the Seat badge off to reveal a lovely silver VW underneath! £35 delivered - bargain!!!

However, when flipping my oil filler cap the right way round I also noticed the slightest trace of coolant on the oil cap!! Have hence spent the last 3 hours online researching the causes of this. Oil cooler? Head gasket?!

I'm sure I'll be more active on here as time goes on

I took the existing stereo out and had a look what the previous owners had done... Extremely satisfying to take it all out though!

I found something like that behind my dash a few years ago, found out it was a tracker after a Google

Parrot hands free system. The current system clearly didn't have it I'm guessing. I'm currently upgrading it...

I had exactly the same Parrot system in mine when I got it. I also found a speed limiter near the throttle pedal and a tracker in the centre console.
