What did you do to your van today?

Wrapped my scratched and dented B pillar trim

Finally found out how to put pictures on without using tapatalk. I've just got to compress my images till they meet the criteria of 2mib yayy

QReduce Lite - Android app seems to do the job.

Others no doubt work too !

swapped the cig lighter for a powered USB with switch.

@petrev downloaded the app you mentioned seemed to have good reviews yet to try it so hopefully works well and user friendly as the one I used either got rid of the photo or stored it in some obscure place on the phone

Pulled down my interior light to check wire colours
BCM +Ve is Red/Purple

Gained access to the BCM ...

White plug (middle) has a Red/Purple wire in pos.43

Ran wire from my AUX/Main Battery change-over relay (or a switch) to said wire.
Added blocking diodes to BCM side and AUX side to stop cross feeds.
Joined everything up ...

Now I can use interior front and middle rear lights at any time.
Need to add a permanent GND via a change-over switch in the boot side panel to allow the boot area light to work similarly.

Works for me.
Don't crop, or the resultant odd pixel ratio seems to confuse things ??
Does store in its own folder, but files browser from C2K seems to find OK

My first time doing car maintenance myself. Didn't exactly turn out as planned.
On the menu were rear brake pads, front brake discs, oil, spark plugs, fuel filter and brake fluid.

I managed to break off one of the plastic retainer clips that hold the fuel lines in place near the filter, VW doesn't sell the clips, only the lines, so thats at least 15 days wait to get the part from aliexp. Then I didn't pay attention and didn't see you needed a special tool to repress and twist the brake calipers in the rear brakes, and also managed to buy the wrong size brake discs. I thought I had the correct disc size from data from the brake pad, but apparently that info was wrong or there were multiple possibilities.

The oil and plugs were done by my brother, haven't been able to test them yet. There was not time left for the brake fluid.

All this took 4.5hours with 2 people, but at a leisure pace. On youtube it all looked so easy

New headlights

@Foghorn. Fair play for giving it a go mate. It’s scary first time you do it. I’ll do basics only and I’ve made some mistakes in my time too!!

Replaced the barn door lock.
It kept setting off the alarm. Didn't know it had an alarm!

Full of water as predicted by caddy2k forum search.
Wrapped with self amalgamating rubber tape.

But where does the water come from?

Cheers

High level brake light.
