What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

Bought a new driveaway awning.. Vango Airhub Hexaway. Can’t wait to get away now. £569 seemed a great price including the carpet and driveaway section as well.

Just finished painting the calipers on the front, wasn’t sure about the colour - it’s supposed to be graphite, but it’s growing on me, fitted 15mm bolt through spaces and cleaned polished the wheels, need a lie down now!
 
My Caravelle has finally been in to the local-ish independent VW specialist to look at my suspension/ bearing/ sensor issue. They can’t find anything wrong with the suspension…no knocking and nothing untoward apparently (though to be fair, if not heard it for 3 or 4 weeks) but it needs a new bearing, ABS sensor as the pickup ring was corroded and a really good 4 wheel alignment. Hopefully get it back tomorrow and have ordered a full set of Cross Climate 3’s to be fitted on Saturday.

Not sure what’s going on with the suspension so will get it booked into @CRS Performance in the coming weeks for the upgrades and get bushes etc upgraded/ replaced as req’d.
 
Can’t say bought but had a new DMF/Clutch fitted yesterday..
what a difference!
Gears feel smooth & engine sounds quieter.. cost a pretty penny bit needs must.

2 more things on the list to do or buy then I’m done.. lol.. as if mwahahahaha
 
Bought a cheap (second hand) but mostly fine bike rack. But found the Thule locking knobs did not work.

So replaced those and added hex lox x2 to demotivate the casual thief!
 
what are the roof rails here? do you know what is the height from roof here:

I'm looking sth lower than standard because of garage doors height, this looks like tiny addition to the vehicle height
Approx 50mm from the roof to the high point. Sits around the same height as the roof mounted aerial.
They came from ebay,1 of the bolt covers went missing I messaged the seller and he sent me replacements FOC :)
 
Old wheel carrier off as it had dented and cracked the paint work. Got the van back yesterday from my mate Jason, great work as always with the paint.

So today got round to sticking on some 4motion decals I got from beatnik.
Still got a bubble or 2 but I don't have the patience for anything better 😆IMG_20260523_185628.webp

A full set of Michelin CrossClimate 3’s put on yesterday. When I got the van, each tyre was a different make and model and of varying tread depths so this was an inevitable purchase. Seems a smoother and quieter ride so far, so pretty pleased (though my bank balance isn’t!). Suspension upgrades next…
