What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Drive Wayne]

Big thanks Sassy!

Duly purchased his last one. Something else to do when the sun shines!

 

[Skyliner33]

It sounds great thanks Wayne. The old one had Huw Edwards messaging me on whatsapp and offering me money to taske my hat off, but the new one when sounded saw Burt Reynold's ghost briefly appear and nod approvingly. A big improvement for not a lot of folding.

It's the plug and playness of the dual tone designed for the 6.1 that appealed to me, and I've always admired Burt Reynolds!

Me too. Plugs in, adds a nice beefy dual tonedness.

and I've always admired Burt Reynolds!

What red blooded man could fail to be inspired by The Mustache Society of America's man of the year 1971 - 1989?

Gave it a bloody good wash and clean after a few nights away in Norfolk

So at the weekend I addressed something that has been bothering me.

Since changing the Devonports for 17" Steelies and Falken Wildpeak 235/65/17 tyres, I've not been comfortable with a 215/60/R17 as the underslung spare wheel. So, a few weeks back I purchased a Bridgestone Ecopia 235/65 R17 AT tyre to use as the spare.

Before cleaning up the spare steelie and fitting the tyre, I wanted to check it actually fit in the cradle without any modifications. I'm pleased to confirm thati t does. Heres a video I made of how to adjust the Bracket and get it in there:

View attachment 320426

Got my powder coated satin black steel back from the wheel specialist with the Bridgestone Ecopia 235/65 R17 fitted and I can confirm that it fits in the underslung cradle on its lowest setting. Had to let some air out but it went in.

Hi @Dundee_Kev, you’re title says you are an MOT tester and your hmmm suggests doubt?I had a full diagnostics test done. The engine light was cleared. The photo shows the diagnostics results. The tests seemed to indicate that everything was working within limits though the low flow warning that was coming up was put down to the EGR needing cleaning/replacing. There are no warning lights on the dash now.

Ah, OK. I read it as they passed it with the light on.

I stand corrected

Sorry, I was doing my best to relate what I’d understood from what he was explaining to me.

 

[Skyliner33]

It certainly reads that way.

Seems we are having all 4 seasons faily here in Scotland at the moment so haven't achieved much. Used some off cuts of carpet to cover the lower B pillar plastics.


Ordered a pre cut/labelled wiring kit for the DC/DC charger from Rayne Automotive and fed the power cable through from the engine bay to under the passenger seat and refitted the cab mat and lower dash plastics. Was good to be finally getting panels back on. Like any good ikea flat pack i had one dash screw left over so will need to retrace my steps to find which one I missed

 

[Tom-E86]

Finally got round to doing the rear adjuster delete on my Solows, and dropped the fronts to match. Pretty happy with the way it’s sitting now, there’s another 10mm on the front if I want it but think it looks nice and level as is

Battens cut, and then Dodo Duo applied in-between which works great as it brings up to the same level as the buttons ready for the floor
