What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Drive Wayne]

I quite fancy cornering fogs

You can have mine!

 

[Pugsley]

Lowered it.

 

[Snakelimit]

Sounds like they may have been coded to operate that way? Or has it just started happening?

I might not notice hahaha

 

[Sasquatch]

Some of us paid money to get the foglights to do that! Potentially one of the more useless available features!

It's so useless it took about 6 months to discover that mine did this at all.

Since owning the van, I've never knowingly used my fogs and only discovered my van had this feature when @Bigsidavies saw me parking up and pointed out that my "white LED headlights with yellow halogen fog lights" was not a good look... thanks Si.

I couldn’t live with myself if I’d let you carry on driving around unknowingly embarrassing yourself.

Still am mate, though, now, knowingly.

DIRM??

DIRM??

I can't see the issue... literally.

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! Cables since renewed!

Yeah. My thought exactly hence why I sleeved the solar cables from the isolator to the panel in nylon braid. Heat shrink the ends to stop it fraying. Hopefully should prevent any ‘chaffing’. (And who wants that !).

Test flight of the new flagpole windsock for the next festivals.
Pleased to report this one doesn't sound like a lawnmower in action like our old, now deceased, dragonfly did...

Emptied my wallet and paid a wedge of VAG Tax. Took the van in to garage for EGR diagnosis and suspenion noises. Whilst in the air on the ramps looking for coolant leaks they found 2 broken coil springs, one perished top mount and ball joints worn and split rubber boot.

Suspension jobs done. I'm now going to stand on the street corner and sell my body

Be wary of those shorty front mud flaps.
They can remove the paint from the bottom of the door and apparently gather mud behind them.
Put me off fitting them.

I fitted these. No problem with door. I trimmed the edge slightly to give more clearance and can’t really see where mud can gather??

I'd consider putting a Sparesaver on it if I were you

Thread 'Stolen Spare Wheel'

8 Jul 2016

Not sure what the best way to secure my spare is. Currently I am keeping it in my van, but it is becoming a pain.

I don't want to go to town on some homemade metal work. Is a locking wheel nut enough of a deterrent? From what I have read in the past, if the thieves are professional enough they will crush any nut, or security device anyway.

I keep my spare in the back on a holder attached to the off side above the wheel arch, i couldn’t get the spare out of the carrier underneath without jacking up the rear (ball ache when on the side of the road) as I’m very low on solow low coil overs I managed to squeeze-135mm out of them

Got my Roof Tent fitted from the fantastic ‘Tent and Trail’. Re-mounted my solar panel on-top of the R/T (but will seek out different brackets in due course with a bigger offset so I can flip the bracket over and drop the panel a bit lower, to improve aesthetics). Anyhow, well chuffed with tent. Rear awning works fantastic with the tail gate too. Very low profile, solid engineering and great price (imho).

Fitted Gladen Appearance 8” and Tweeter kit to my T6. Apologies if you’re easily offended but OMFG!!!

Thanks to everyone for suggesting these. I still don’t think the stock speakers are terrible…but it is night and day comparing to the Gladen’s I must admit!

That’s with the stock Discover unit too.

It was behind the plastic arch liner if I mind right.
