Was this easy to install. Wouldn’t mind those features plus my switch is broken so worth upgrading!

I ordered a cheap number from DVLA (my initials and birth date), and finally got around to swapping it today -

Was a really easy job, took about 10 minutes to do, tucked the light sensor between the windscreen and dash, really discreet. Image

Not so much today but over the last week or so.

In no particular order
New pedals, new headlight switch it was split and I'm going round adding the higher spec shiny bits inside, rear bumper cover, front lower bumper cover, an nearly completed the inside. need to make a half height rack unit and carpet the sides, when its warmer!

Big reason I got the van was bike hauling, tested with the longest and heaviest one I have, no issues so far!

Got a PTC heater off eBay for £12, described as faulty. Manged to re solder the resistors in it and it’s now working.

Made a start on my new to me caddy 2011
Removed bulk head
removed and fixed sliding door mech
replaced lower sliding door rod/tracker thing
fitted led number plate lights
installed aftermarket headunit
stripped all ply out and started sound deadening
removed builders roof rack and van vault pipe tube

next up looking for inspiration, fancying the auto headlight mod, hoping to research cruise control and see if i could find a chap MFSW to install, mainly because the steering wheel has seen better days
