What Have You Bought Today?

S5 A13 Bosch AGM Car Battery 12V 95Ah Type 019 AGM S5A13

Bought online before Xmas, as my van is a 69 plate & I decided it’s likely due to go south soon, rather than there being anything knowingly wrong with my existing one.

In the end it never arrived, or any delivery attempted by the courier. Called up the supplier & got told it had been lost in the couriers network, & so offered either a refund or another one sent out. Because (as mentioned above), mines actually alright currently, I just took the refund.

Anyway…fast forward a month…

It randomly turned up today 😅🥴😂

1 x pair of THQ T6.1 smoked LED side repeaters ( new from THQ but got an offer from them on eBay )

1 x pair of THQ T6.1 rear barn doors smoked LED lights ( THQ seconds clearance on the Bay for £199 delivered. Tiny mark on one lens )

Had these on my old T5.1 Swamper. Here we go again with this one...!
 
The digital dash thing from our very own @antony.charnley

Couldn't figure out the mileage calculator so messaged his website, only for my mind fart to clear and I sorted it a few minutes later.

Pricy, but I have the fine motor skills of Mike Tyson and the computer knowledge of an Amish farmer, so I have Antony to install it and the reassurance of his knowledge and back-up when inevitably cock something up in the settings.

Can't wait to get it in now,
 
Carista EVO with a one year subscription, can someone point me to a good thread showing stuff it can do?

I changed my indicators to 4 flashes rather than default 3. Disabled seatbelt warnings. You can force a regen. Tear drop wipe enabling. If you don't mind an error code coming up, you can change the start up screen picture on the dash (error code 01384). Many things to mess with, but I use mine every month to check and reset fault codes. Coding a new battery is useful, just remember to have the bonnet popped to see the full range of features. Certainly worth having.
 
Oooh, that’s interesting. I have a software fault showing on mine and I have changed the startup screen. I wonder if that’s why? Will check it out tomorrow.

Any idea which screen number is the standard one so I can reset it? Number 1?

Thanks @Drive Wayne

What extras come up if the bonnet is open btw?

It's the bluey VW screen you're after, either 1 or none (0)?
Quite a few changes you can only make with the bonnet up.
Only reason I remember the code is because its the dialling code for parts of the black country!
