What did you do to your van today?

Stuffed it up the arse of a taxi absolutely gutted, pretty sure it's going to be a right off

I managed to get just the fog lights without sidelights front and rear to work as DRL's on my 2008 mk3 Where I live it is mandatory to have either separate DRL's, dipped beams or fog lights turned on during the day so this puts no unnecessary wear on all the other bulbs. I see many newer VW's and Škodas driving around this way. Always thought this is a BCM only feature not available to us plebs with a CECM but glad to be wrong.

Lidded glovebox on a pre-facelift Mk3!

Genuine facelift gloveboxes are a very rare commodity at the breakers, but I managed to get one for just €40. It is missing the light and AUX input, and I need to duplicate the donor car's key for the lock to work. It does not fit out of the box. One needs to either cut off the glovebox's extra protrusion or make an incision in the old dashboard. I chose the latter. There is an additional screw hole in the FL dashboard, but I am not making it as the glovebox is sturdy enough right now.

Managed to run the power for my amp in one run which was far easier than expected. Also made a bit of a bodge small rack for bike bits an basic tools. need to make some vanity panels yet. I'll lob some photos up once it looks semi decent.

Got fed up of looking for decent priced caddy life door panels so I made my own sliding door cubby hole panel

Went to the local scrapyard this weekend and made some decent finds.

Amongst other things I found a gear knob and a handbrake cover in leather from a Caddy -18.

First mods to my Mk3. Fitted a new cabin light with reading lights and LED bulbs. And fitted a new heating A/C control panel with heated seat controls I snagged on eBay, in preparation for when I find a reasonably priced and good condition pair of heated front seats. Heated seats is the one mod my wife is 100% behind

that interior light looks great

[kobat79]

Yes, I'm very pleased with it. Big difference to the dull yellow glow from the old one. It's from Travelin-Lite.

I take it changing the interior bulbs to led doesn’t trigger a bulb warning?

Verry good

Not so far. I read on here somewhere (a comment by Doc iirc) that as long as there is still one interior light that remains a standard incandescent bulb there won't be a warning light. So in my case the rear load area is still standard. Although I'd like to upgrade that too as it's pretty dull in there in the evening.

[adeybroth]

That’s good to hear, the stock bulbs inside and out are terrible on the Caddy.

New seats from Karoq Sportline.

perfect, just seating position a little bit high for my taste.

Anyone have idea how to lower them maybe?

[stu_b]

@ Pepi Cro - those seats look super comfy, what bases did u put them on ? Much faffing around ?

@ Doc re Kobat79's comment - is that true about the lights and keeping on to avoid a canbus warning ?

@ Kobat79 - thanks for the info
