Re: What did you do to your van today?
Thanks everyone.
Its a Golf GTI MK7 plastic welded to a caddy bumper I got from GTI Kris. It may grow on me, its been a long week and I had little patience for it.

also fitted the led numberplate lights with no errors.

That bumper looks like a smiley face with sideburns lol.
Not my cup of tea but it looks well made.

,@DeanWhit I like the bumper. Think you should try it out for a bit and see how you get on with it.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Just the basics for our yesterday. After some scratched knuckles and a few choice words, managed to change the headlight bulbs to Osram Nightbreakers. Can't comment on other types, but along with adjusting the aim, these have made a huge difference. Tomorrow - going to get some quotes for the timing belt & water pump change as its coming up to 5 years old.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
I forgot to do this on friday but had the caddy MOT'd and a quick oil change. No issues which was a relief (even with air suspension its quite low so getting on ramps can be scary) although it made me laugh when I was told the guy servicing it decided to fill up the washer fluid and it all emptied out over his shoes! I got it home thinking it was going to be a bumper off job but a quick glance through the grill and I could see the quick connect coupling for the headlight washers had come out of the washer bottle so a few knuckle scrapes later i had manged to squeeze my hand through far enough to reconnect it.

Broke a bolt...

Then removed said broken bolt...

Seems whoever swapped the injector, didn't change the stretch bolt... hardly made it to 7nm before it went snap!
