Fitted a lowering bracket to the handbrake. It now sits low enough to swivel the seat.

New windscreen fitted and no rust under the old one but I was surprised how little cover the old screen covered the bottom corners

Haha yea been looking into options for arches.
Not tried it extensively but they do clear mostly they are bigger than I was looking for but couldn't go past price of wheels n tyres they're 225/75R16
They do just catch the water bottle cover though was thinking of moving it inside anyway just so it doesn't freeze the motor in winter.

What they have shown up is that the rear axle is off set under the van as they stick out about 10mm more on one side

Or is it what????

I reckon it's just the springs as I changed one side a while ago and it's probably just needing all blackened and evened up.
That'll happen when I put the long saddle bolts and spacers in

Fuel pump learn fail on a mk7
erratic idle and injector fault code for leaking, dry as a bone externally and leak off test came back within tolerance.

The valves look cheap and when the engine revved high the van went into limp mode and power train warning lamp.

Didn't attempt pilot learn :cry:
