As the van is still new to us, I thought I’d better have a look at how and where the jack fits. I found, to my annoyance, that the wheel wrench is 19mm and my wheel nuts are 17mm. Luckily I found out now, so I now have a 17mm version in the boot.
But, found out I have a broken spring, right rear.

I thought it was because he'd be driving back filled to the roof with Italian cheese, wine etc!!
I did this accidentally the other week after fitting all the blinds from my newly acquired goodnight pack behind the B pillar to get the younguns to sleep.
Spent that 3 hours back repeatedly staring at grey blinds and wondering why - I had no idea I checked over the shoulders so often!
It's also weird perception - I couldn't see the blinds at the edge of my vision but I definitely felt the fact I couldn't see behind me.
yeh but with the added benefits of car speed limits LOL
Managed to snap my rear spring. Looks sweet but rides terrible. It's only 2 years, and I thought it would have lasted longer. Bloody thing I might just go and set it on fire
You won't be disappointed! They are epic at night! Not comparison to the older ones!
Made my own side door magnetic midgie net for my trips north.
It’s a working progress the now. The magnetic strip on the edges is strong enough to hold the net on but I need to tuck the top into the rubber slightly so it doesn’t all fall off when I remove one side to get in and out.
Also the adhesive on the magnetic tape isn’t the strongest so will probably need to add more strong glue myself.
It should do the trick.
I ordered enough netting to fit pieces inside the mesh vents in the pop top so the wee buggers won’t get in there either.

Trip folkestone to stansted to pick up the family.
This inch or so gap makes a hell of a difference. Just enough to catch a glimpse of something in the blind spot.
as I don’t know what rear will be like I’ve been trying my rear cam so it’s permanently on the screen instead of rear view mirror
Wow objects appear much much further away on the cam than the reality.
Yesterday I did the whole van with fallout remover and today I’ve polished out any little scratches and treated it to some tyre shine stuff as a reward for passing it’s MOT this morning with no advisories.
Also booked it in at the body shop to get the front bumper painted and blown into the wing after its little scrape on a gate post and also to get rid of a patch of rust on the cill where the driver’s door shuts.
Just need to polish it now.

So, a few thoughts after a full day in the van: First nights sleep was ok, not the best but I've had far worse. Tbh most of that was probably down to an unfamiliar pillow and getting comfortable in the sleeping bag - I can never get really comfortable as they twist around you. Heat: it's hot...

Show us your Vinyl!
I have a Starlight blue lwb.. and looking for some detailing inspiration on a budget. I have played around with colours and have added an orange side strip in 6mm vinyl which breaks up the length a bit.. and some orange to the lower grille..
