New bug zapper, from Poundland for ( you guessed it) a quid. Makes easy work of ridding flies,mozzies etc without squishing them on the roof fabric. View attachment 33989

Not so much bought, but made a sideways funnel.

When we are away in certain countries we prefer to buy bottled water to fill the tank and thais makes it a bit easier.

Genius!

Always loved these glue pistols!
For those who don't have, buy a balloon
For bottles fitting +- the size of your hose: rolled up balloon 'mouth' functions as rubber joint, on the other side cut a hole at the end and fold over the tube; cut a whole in the screw cap, put the hose from inside then screw the cap back at the bottle. Condoms might do the trick as well
Or just buy one of these great glue pistols and just glue cap and hose together (most bottles have identical screw caps). Enjoy!

If bottle is much bigger, simply cut a disc of duct tape, stick it in the inside of the screwcap, cut it radial, then fix it to the inside of the hose.

That just looks rude! I bought an angled funnel from ebay which makes filling up super easy. About a fiver.

sure, but then you just miss all the fun
(I also use a simple funnel hanging at the rail)

There could be a mark II as I was thinking @Bigted could print a better one that has a larger funnel part ?

For our 2011 California I bought the premium fabric seat covers from the shop. https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/shop/product/premium-gti-fabric-seat-covers-vw-california

I had to order 2 extra headrest covers because my California has the 18 cm headrests instead of the 21 cm headrests of the later models.

After having installed the seat covers (about 3 to 4 hours work), they look as good and fit like the original upholstery. Great product though and they are also airbag deploy-safe!

Okay, thought about this and made a simpler version this lunchtime;


30mm OD Tube long enough to pass into the tank, fast fill, no spills.
(yes I know its fifthly, sand storm over here )

You got me triggered as well. I was just thinking to simply take a new funnel which come with the AdBlue, and put it completely inside, and simply retract when needed. I can close it afterwards. Just still have to figure out how to lock it.

If it’s bottles you want to fill it with:

Or cut a bit of the funnel and the cap, pull the funnel through it and screw the cap back on. Closes perfectly.

Already made one, they have a vacuum issue and why I made the funnel.
