What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Properjob]

The lights look great!!

Thanks! They’re silver wire micro LEDs and I used little blobs of hot glue to attach then ran the feed inside the b pillar housing on the passenger side to the 12v socket. V pleased with them. Got them from lights4fun

Ahh, I did wonder how you managed to fix them up. Makes it look really cosy.

TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT for the driver input module, with optional Diamond Pack in flat red( couldn't justify the extra cost for the metallic red option).

Bought a fire box from the T6 forum too

Bought a bag for it. Pretty good, robust snag-proof silver lining, and a zip and also Velcro fastening to keep the smell in. A bit bigger than it needs to be, but not much and you could use the space for fire lighters and kindling or whatever.

Eibach 30mm lowering springs. Van was in for a service & mot. Turned out both rear springs were snapped (common) but I was shocked at the quote in excess of £500 to replace them. A quick check of Vw website to confirm I could have the ribs ha fitted all rounds for considerably less. No brainer. First impressions are very good in comparison. Also some new Bosch aero wipers, look better.

Great. Do you have Dynamic Chassis Control? Wondering if the lowering springs work with it

No, old T5.1 here. They are progressive springs so not sure they’d work

Waterproof seat covers from a member on here. @calidog Thank you for a smooth transaction.

A camping plug ... and fixed it to the wall. Now easy to get the van on hookup when parked.

 

[Crofty]

Some new mats for the van . Think they look really good

Any good? Use an aero press atm, but I do love a coffee gadget!

That's some rough ass installation work.
Might be worth buying some cable clips and dressing the cables.

And a bit of downpipe for the gutter!

Yes we recommend it, we’ve found it invaluable, expensive, but wouldn’t be without it.

We made simple screens that cover the two sliding windows and attach via self adhesive magnetic strips. You can buy screen mesh (very cheaply by the meter) that is even small enough to keep midges out (useful in Scotland apparently). For the main sliding door area and tail gate, we bought a pair of net curtains and small round powerful magnets that keep it in place. Cheap and simple solutions that work to help keep van cool and bug free...

An ottoman for the Thetford, bargain £9.99 from Lidl's isle of doom!

Looked a great option . Bought one, dark grey not had chance to place in in the van as my wife has nabbed it for the gym ! She has now gone off to see if the other Lidl in town has any more left as she does her essential shopping for the week Thanks for the heads up Algor. Great quality for the price !

 

[andyinluton]

That doesn't look like armoured cable either so should be in conduit?

 

[Dark Ocean]

I’m feeling sorry for kurienp, proud of their new power point. I bet they wish they hadn’t posted their photo now.

 

[andyinluton]

I know, I'm sorry.
The socket itself looks good, but the photo looks like one of those our H&S man sends to our site managers with "spot the potential safety risks."

These do look awesome! I've been looking at their website to decide if I should get some or the normal mats with the runner gaps...

May I ask for the website please?

 

[Rams66]

We have some on the way. I like the way they fill the space and stop bits getting in the runners. The dog will love making them dirty too.
We bought from campervancarpets.com. They are really helpful.

Me too and she knew I'd like to get one just could not find a reason to buy one
First impression is good (handling and cleaning easy), look forward to use it on the road and compare to NS vers Italian way to make coffee versus coffee shop

We have an aeropress... I ended up going back to boiling an espresso pot on the cooker. It's a bit of a faff, but I don't think you can better traditional ways sometimes
