Anyone need a hi-spec speedo with red band and 70k on it?

Or the rare passenger door card with built in a rest?

This afternoon I ripped out the stereo and removed a wheel nut from each wheel as I only needed 4 on each.

Bled the brakes this morning, forscan wouldn't recognise my van as having traction control after checking on etis it shows it as "brake only traction control" which after chatting to Arthies came to the conclusion that normal bleeding process is the way to go.
Bled almost 2 litres from the whole system, old brake fluid looked pretty dirty/dark coloured which is surprising as the brakes have all been bled through twice in the past year-18 months
