What have you done with your California today?

Gerdar mountain hut, Baqueira ski resort, Aran valley, Spanish Pyrenees. As the hut was full, I slept in the van. The diesel parking heater meant sleeping in light pjs. Anybody considering using the van in winter should know that this equipment is absolutely fit for purpose. Notice that the other vehicles are frozen while my van is snow free. That means that the van has almost no insulation, but the parking heater works so well that it doesn't matter. Roof was down, with only the factory side and rear blinds down. Powder was epic.

Edit: I have Michelin Crossclimate Agilis fitted, and even in these conditions I didn't have to use chains, while every other car in this pic did.

Cleaned it. First free day for months that it has been sunny and warm.

Its been doing great service as a general utility vehicle. Got us and dogs from Edinburgh to York with a picnic (with sea views) at Alnmouth and just now as a party transport getting my rather infirm 90 year old mother in law to her birthday lunch.

Given it a good clean - definitely needed it!

This idea is copied from several other fora where it always seems popular.
I'll kick it off and say this morning I chauffeured my wife 50 miles to a meeting and visited the local VW retail centre whilst I waited for her meeting to conclude. Had a look over the new Tiguan, it seems practical and fairly well equipped.
The journey there and back was smooth and relaxing, confirming that the Cali. is just as versatile as a run around as it is camper van.

Repair the screen wash .All of the fluid had drained out as I was filling the bottle up, a pipe had come off the washer pump hidden behind the front left wheel arch cover .There is a small inspection flap to get to the pump small hands are needed and hot water to soften the pipe.
