Happy New Year to you and the family Hef. Well done on getting the R36 fitted in the Caddy. A stunning Caddy made even better. Quite by coincidence a R36 Passat drove past me in Norwich this week and I mentioned to a colleague that I knew of some one fitting one in a Caddy. All the best

Bought a new reverse camera today (thanks for the idea r1lea Image)
The old one that was integrated into the registration light worked fine from a camera aspect, but the clips holding the festoon bulb in just would not stay put no matter how many times I glued them in. Image

£7 on eBay......Chinese electronics at their best Image

Bought a Carista to clear a airbag warning, great piece of kit also used it to switch on various functions that where previously turned off. Great app and easy to use, never going to replace dealer level tools but for someone who tinkers with there van I think it’s ideal

Cornering lights, where the fog lights come on as you term sharply, needle sweep you can also turn off alarms like seat belt warning, change window settings, wiper settings and headlight and indicator behaviour as well as reset service intervals and warnings etc that’s just what I’ve found so far

Finally finally finally got my grill and bumper grills painted gloss black, after a week of driving about with no front grill, talk about trial and error!!!!

Started with a £65 chrome and gloss black grill off ebay, tried spraying it, completely ruined it,
Resorted back to standard grill, over a week of evenings of priming, wet and dry sanding, marking it, starting again, marking it again, starting again, fly's flying into it, sanding them out, starting again,and about 5 trips to Halfords later.

But I'm so amazed the finish you can get from spraying outside in under 10 degrees, rain dodging, with Halfords plastic primer and gloss black rattle cans, eBay 2k two part lacquer rattle cans, then about 2 hours and a tube of T-cut and a cloth buffing and buffing and buffing tonight, Mrs going mad at me cause I'm not listening to her hair conversationImageImage

All back on now, proper happy, a job Iv been wanting to do since I got the van!
..........but never again!!!!!
Too dark now just got bumper back on, get some pics uploaded tomoz of the vanette.
Also got a Pioneer underseat sub in over the weekend, after 3 days of playing about, actually sounds good now
She's getting there now, slowly ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
