Totally agree. I've taken to using a metal wire scourer on inside of mine... Comes up great and no noticeable damage....
Treated the van again, much to my Mrs delight!
Had a company called "Trim My Car" come to mine to re Trim my wheel. Went for leather with purple stitching.
Not bad for £130, and he travels national

pain in the ass to fit , but it will solve the issue
I feel the urge to do the same
@Lee540 or @shropschris. I for one have no idea what it is so for the benefit of the very mechanically uneducated can you explain please.
Not on a 150 with a manual gearbox. Absolute doddle to fit, 10 mins.
Rear EGR pipe, old one broken, fitted new one.
After being caught with engine still regenerating when arriving home, I read "Jeff G's" description of the OBD plug in device, to notify me when regen is happening.
It suits me perfectly. Just plug in, small light comes on when regen starts and goes off when finished. By pushing the small button, it also let's me know how much soot is in Dpf, by the number of flashes on light...1gm per flash.
I can now, roughly know when I can expect a regen, and when it starts, I can then extend my drive until the light goes out..about 13 minutes last time.
Postage from UK to Oz a bit expensive, but to me, well worth it. So easy. Cheers.

Why would you need this? If you turn off mid-regen it sorts itself out and continues next time you drive? Just curious..
A partial re-gen dumps unburnt fuel into the sump, diluting the oil
You won’t regret it
Yet another thing that I didn't know I wanted! For those who know more than me, my van is very rarely used for short trips and usually gets runs of at least 30 miles (and even more usually several hundred). Should I regard regen as an issue? I can't say that I've ever noticed one happening when I go to switch off but my lack of full hearing capability probably doesn't help with that!

I’ve just worked out what the second photo is about
A subtle little led poking out!
Have you not found that even after a day of motorway driving the genius brain in the van decides to start a regen just as you are pulling off the motorway or onto the drive? This has happened to me a few times
Just fitted a stealth awning rail, though not sure it will be that stealthy with the awning hanging from it. Thanks to Camping Leisure for a speedy service sending this out for next day. Just got to try hanging the awning from it. How hard can it be….
Great rail and is super stealthy. I have the same one. Make sure you fit some 3m tape to protect your paint as the awnings are quite aggressive and can easily scratch when feeding in/out
Good point, I did think that the strip might rub on the paint, I might use some clear vinyl we use for covering signs at work.
