Have you had a chance to see how much difference it makes to noise?
Cheers. It’s gone from a tin sound to a thud. Not driven yet while I build it though! Tbh I had so much stuff in there before it wasn’t that (road) noisy in the back.

Cruse control is awesome! And it's great to finally have a temp gauge!

Managed to duck and dive today from the mrs family and finish off my van. Couple of very small bits left to do but all but done Image took a bit longer than I thought it would, but it’s quite difficult to work in a car park away from my house Image chuffed with how it looks now compared to how it was before

Fitted reverse beeper to my van today. Not a huge fan of these things especially early in the morning and not wanting to annoy my neighbours so fitted a hidden on/off switch using one of the blanking covers in front of the shift lever so I can turn it off which is awesome.

The parking sensors stopped working so since it's a nice dry day I thought I'd throw my head under to investigate. Looks like Edward scissorhands has done a bodge job on the wiring and one of the terminals had come off so I'll need to order all the bits and bobs and repair it properly but I did notice there wasn't a rear reinforcement bar fitted to the van. Bolts are there but the bar is missing, so that's something else to fork out for. May as well get the new 2016 shape bumper whilst I'm at it.
