calipers off a cayenne.
the originals brake pipe is blanked off so its solely used for the handbrake now as the Flexi goes to the Brembo
Is there much noise from them when folded up and drinking? Thinking in terms of rattling or straps clinking?
No noise at all. They are secured tight to the walls with the straps. We used them for the first time this weekend. The size is equates to a king size bed. I have brought a Panda matteress topper as the bed pieces are quite firm.
Sort of ‘what have you done’.
Used the new Bluetti thingy to charge the emtb’s after a ride.

Nice! Will it run a jetwasher at the same time Si?
No, but only because it only has 2 sockets. It’ll do 1800W continuous and the bikes at full chat were pulling just over 500W, so I guess if you unplugged one bike then you’d have about 1500W to play with. Not sure what a jetwash pulls.
Anyway-never jetwash a bike, let alone an e-bike.
Maybe an electric horse hair detailing brush and some muck off...
Wired and fitted a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) with On/Off switch in my B Pillar Trim. It comes straight off the Solar connections on my CTEK 250 under the passenger seat. Fused in line with 1 Amp blade fuse (just incase the DVM has an eppy and goes s/c). Now when solar panel plugged in, I can quickly monitor the input voltage to the LB at the flick of a switch to ensure all is good. (I have a BM2 fitted also). Made up a lead with DC isolator with blade fuses tucked inside the isolator housing, and Anderson connectors at one end and MC4 the other. All covered in braid and heat shrink where needed so it looks OEM, so I can plug my panel in when required, and just run the lead under wind deflector into van. (It’s a day/site adventure type set up). Didn’t fancy drilling through the roof of the van to get cables in. Panel was on the ARB roof rack but taken it off today as Roof Tent getting fitted later today
(more ‘what have you done posts
). S/P will then go onto two areo type roof bars that are on top of the Roof Tent itself.

Lovely neat job @Vinyl1210 , just keep your eye on the solar cables going over the top of the window, quite abrasive on a solar cable in windywoo conditions, as I found out myself this year at a very blustery Bala meet!

The van serviced and the undersides given a good spray with Buzzweld lano chassis guard. It's pretty clean down there and I'm keen to keep things that way.
Due to the wind I got a good spray of lano all over me, so I too should resist corrosion for some months to come.
I was going to do the accelerator pedal mod but recovering fro a stroke I find I'm tiring out easily so that's for another day. That aside I got a fair bit done.

Good effort. Rest up now. A bit of lano on a rusty bullet hole works wonders.
Just notice today my fog lights are acting strange 
Some time ago I noticed one of them not on and was like oh I need sorting out that when I find time and other day I was like let’s check which one it’s off turn left was on right off ok then I drove a bit and left car running when opening gate and notice right one it’s on left off was like wtf
was sure was other way around but then I notice my tyre was facing same side and turn out whatever side I turn wheels that's side it’s on….any idea why it’s that way it’s ex rac

It's a design feature - called something like 'cornering fog lights'. Steer left, the lhs fog light illuminates; steer right, the rhs fog light illuminates.Just notice today my fog lights are acting strange

Sounds like they may have been coded to operate that way? Or has it just started happening?Just notice today my fog lights are acting strange

Some of us paid money to get the foglights to do that! Potentially one of the more useless available features!Just notice today my fog lights are acting strange
