You don't realise how light the tinting is at first... another on the list of "might do" for me

Spot on - I have those Yeti’s they are fab and a hot tea will last 2 hours (if not longer) no problem

As promised , I now find myself using a microfibre towel to protect my seat covers

What level of tinting did you have fitted, looks good from the photos.

@Van Diesel VW one down from total black out limo tint, the guy reckoned it would’ve been too dark

Fitted a ‘stealth’ rear spoiler, painted gloss black

I’m sure it will go a lot faster now

Sorry I forgot to report back. Yeah very easy to do and no errors on the dash
I cable tied the driver units to stop any annoying rattles

New one on the drivers side to show the difference

Massive change on visibility when cornering. You do wonder why halogens are the standard fit on VWs. We will be going this way for sure! EDIT - now on order, ready for a trip over the Channel.

Inspired by an episode of Itchy Boots (!!!) where some spare motorcycle oil was shown kept in a metal MSR bottle I ordered a similar but considerably cheaper fuel bottle by Primus via Amazon.de. 0.6l capacity. Cost 16 euros delivered. Bottle is very solid, aluminium, and it fits perfect in the place I wanted it to be travelling. Snug in place, no rattles.

New Hoodie for the van!

Can't beat a Yeti Mug!!

Campervan Time installed them (granted not on a T6.1 but.....)

I’ve just fitted these Autobeam bulbs - they look good. One thing I’m nervous of is, whereas the OEM bulbs are a tight / positive fit when you quarter turn them, the tab fitting on the Autobeam bulb turn (so you can orientate the led) so I feel they’re “just” gripping. Not sure if they’ll survive a speed bump / pothole!

Anyone else experienced this?

Was the installation as simple as on the MANs video above? Also an H11?

Yes pretty much. Same bulbs. The left hand one was a bit trickier to get at the plug - more stuff in the way. I used tie wraps to support the weight of the electronics block - attached to other local wiring.

I’m going to have another look at the fitting of the new leds though - just not happy they’re properly clicked in (per Wills video ).

I found that gripping the "bulb housing" when twisting and not just the central LED part I was able to mount it tightly.
I've been driving around for a while now and they don't seem to wobble/vibrate.

Just had another go. This time I put a ‘tiny’ drop of lube behind each of the 3 little flanges and then pushed the bulb extra hard into the housing and gave it a quick clockwise twist. It’s now fully home.

Excellent....looks much better

A payday extravagance!
Perhaps not particularly exciting for most but we saw some of these at the show, couldn’t get a full set but managed to find some online?

Bought a set of premium seat covers from a fellow forum member and looking forward to fitting them to our MY23 Ocean when then they arrive.
Many thanks to Andrew, you know who you are.

Billy has worked hard this year, 12,000 miles including towing a car in an enclosed trailer to Luxembourg and back. Had a couple of hours to kill looking around VW Droitwich while service & MOT carried out. Came away with a little treat. VW California Steak Cutlery set. Can’t afford the Steak so just as well it wasn’t a set of wheels I came away with

Bought a Tailgate Stand to stop the tailgate dropping when cold or windy. Had a few close calls in 50 mile an hour winds last weekend in the Lake District.
