Well, not exactly today, but this month I have replaced all the brakepads and discs front and back.
It was about time after 16 years and a good 217500km (135150mi).

Just fitted a Victron MPPT, and connected up to the rear leisure battery. Used a 3d printed bracket to hold the mppt and an isolator, tried my 200w renogy portable solar panels, getting a charge even though the sun was hiding

Yes, thanks, in the end I cracked and used Trangia type Bio-fuel, when the sticker came off but the adhesive didn't. Also elbow grease! Windscreen is now clean.

Weren't you the one who was not into sports in another thread?

Sat indoors looking at the van on EHU and waiting for the sun to show its face!

Today? With great difficulty I scraped off the English Heritage membership sticker from the front windscreen.
Obviously they used Space Shuttle Tile adhesive. Made a transparent pocket to hold this years sticker. Not going through that again!

I find a hair blow drier usually does the trick. I also used one to transfer my Swiss one year toll tag to my new vehicle.

i have just finished retrofitting PDC and making it work

2 days and 2 people to install the sensors in the bumpers front and back and the wiring harness to inside the cabin.

6 hours and a lot of worry sweat to connect the wiring to the car harness inside the cabin. Splicing, soldering and fiddling with cables that really shouldn’t be disturbed.

4 days and many forum threads to sort out the coding.

The overall instructions were poor, but it seems i speak VCDS and forums are my friend.

It is now fully working
