Re: Adding new internal tailgate lights - Tailgate wiring ti
there's also a grommet halfway down the pillar - which I removed and managed to get a long wire down that far from the top, and then got a shorter wire up from the bottom ( you need heavy duty tweezers to grab the wires) - soldered them together and then pulled the longer wire down to form a singel ...

Re: Replacement Exhaust issue
Interesting - not too bothered about the stainless cracking as it's supposed to be warrantied for life! - the guys that fitted it said they'd heard of this too - so just have to look out for that one! Just as an addition to this - blocked off the pipework and removed the valve - there is a significa...

Re: Replacenment Exhaust issue
yes - have the winter pack - extra battery connection, switch for engine heat thingy by right knee etc. Was told it was an intercooler and could be dumped, and the pipework sealed off with an M8 bolt - but wanted to be sure before it got done, the old parts dumped, and finding out it was a necessary...

Re: De-mister, De- froster
Thanks for this tip - our demister wasn't working either - and had a look under the dash as described, and found the little locking "finger" has gone, so the linkage arm had popped out the hole - just popped it back in and it all works (for now) - just have to fashion a new locking finger ...

Re: Help needed with leisure battery
you'll need to trace the wiring from the leisure Battery to find the (new) fuse box for the items connected to it It will all depend on if the conversion is a home-brew job, or professional job - if it was done by a company (and you know who it is) a quick google, and phone call should give you the ...

A full re-applic...

Re: Awesome body kits, low this mid boot spoiler
I'd be more worried about speed bumps - they obviously don't have them where those body kits are made coz they look like they're only a few mm off the road !

Re: Winter Checks
Seem like you just need to keep your usual camping gear in the van
Sleeping bags (& pillows)
Cooker & gas
pot'n'pans
Tea, coffee, UHT Milk
Water
tinned food
chamber pot (or nearest 21st century equivalent)
and make the most of it if you get stuck in the snow
