What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Bav]

Took my van for the Interim Service and health check. All OK, no advisories.
Also fitted my retrimmed Sunvisors and yesterday fitted my retrimmed A Pillars.

I can't see why not. With the price of 907 refills I felt I had to do it! I know quite a few of us that do the 907 thing, and we are all still alive, currently!
Make sure you have the right attachments and decent postage type scales for accurate measurements.
Have a read of this rather entertaining thread.

Packed Nelson ready to head into Derbyshire tomorrow morning. I have my camera so I'll take some pics if the campsite is nice!

If you hear profanities, its only me cursing our new awning

 

[Steved55]

Fitted the Van-X awning rail, built a bending jig and with the help of some clamps pretty much a one man job, now to get the other side on to look the same

Neat job - does the rail have to be cut to length? Out of interest what roof is that please?

 

[JumpShip]

Fitted new top and bottom sliding door rollers , all silky smooth again now

Yes it comes just over length for a LWB van, soft aluminium so easy to cut to what ever length you need.

Roof is an Horizon installed by VisionTech Automotive, love it and the quality of install is spot on.

Changed the rear pads as they looked quite low. Turns out they weren't that bad but changed them anyway.

Got the front pads ready to change when I get a chance.

Realised I need a better trolley jack. Any suggestions that arent a million pounds?

Some bedtime raeding on jacks...

Thread 'Jacking points, trolley jacks and axle stands'

11 Jul 2022

I’ve lifted cars on trolley jacks at home before, and I’ve been very happy doing so as it’s been obvious where the jacking points are, and cars aren’t that heavy. But before I set about getting my van up in the air, I’d like to ask the knowledgeable folk on here how they go about this. I’ve trawled the forum ‘library’ and there doesn’t seem to be a definitive ‘here’s how I done it’, importantly with clear pictures. So let’s create one. If I can get some good advice, I’ll happily photo and post the process on this thread once I’m comfortable going about it. I have some ‘kit’, just not sure...

I bought a Bradbury Jackette wau back in the 1970"s when I had my first car - Still going strong after 50 years of abuse! Built when things were built well.

Reading the thread referenced by @manfrotto, it seems the SGS trolley jack gets mixed reviews.
