What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Californication69]

I got mine too and fitted it today. I couldn’t work out why it was constantly flashing the warning sign and 0 at the bottom

Aliexpress seller contacted me.
Said to remove battery from the spare sensor !
It’s picking up the signal from inside the house. Lol !

Also would recommend the Martin Dorey book, Take the Slow Road - it covers most of the NC500 route.

I do like my gadgets but for this “problem” I went old school. Just folded a piece of paper kitchen towel. Does the job sofar

I keep a thin flannel at the bottom of the fridge to collect any condensation. When we return home I pull it out and keep it under the lid to allow ventilation. Works like dream.

Sure. Whatever you use: paper kitchen towel or thin flannel, if it helps you, it’s good. I used a wooden block for 10 years. I got this little thing for free, made by a friend and he liked making it because it has a purpose. It made me smile and I use it since yesterday. It's perfect. No more wooden block (or towel) for me

Looks good when it’s down, does it let any light through when it’s open? I'm just worried about making the van darker.

Fittted some short mudflaps that I got from Amazon today. (XUKEY Set Mud Flaps For Transporter Caravelle T6 Multivan Kombi 2015 on Mudflaps Splash Guards Flap Mudguards Front Rear)
These were very easy to install although like many others, I trimmed about 8mm from the one edge that would have otherwise made contact with the bottom of the front door. The front flaps use one of the arch liner screws to hold them in place and there there are two optional self tapping screws that also go into the arch liner. I was surprised at how much dirt there was between the arch liner and the bodywork. At the back the flap simply uses the two arch liner screws.
One tool that I have found extremely useful for these sorts of jobs is a Ryobi rechargeable screwdriver - in particular on this occasion the right angle adaptor.


The muck on the ground all came from behind the wheel arch liner




Right angle driver makes the job much easier


Ryobi cordless screwdriver highly recommended.
Total job time: 20 mins

A foam gun (last week)

Bought roll of insulation tape to wrap corrugated windscreen washer tube that goes from engine bay to bonnet near NS hinge. 2nd time in 6 yrs it started leaking. ? Replace. Think ill see how long this repair lasts.

Bought a hang table to hold the Cadac. Very well constructed with a foam strip to protect the paintwork and rubberised, wide hooks at the end of adjustable straps so the gable can be raised for stand up or sit down tasks.

I've had a few cars where this happened.
It's annoying when the washer don't squirt as well.
I've gone through the same thought process, I'll just replace it, until I realise what a nasty job that might be. They often have horrible routing meaning you have to remove quite a few bits to get to it.

And while at that, I suspect you also plan to put in some sound deadening? How much of dodo mat did you get? When I was looking, there were only large rolls or pack of 10 a4's available, which just seemed a big waste
