First oil change at 14,900 km (I know it's actually 20,000 km but I like it fresh, always have).

can you still operate the handbrake with the armrest down ? was it from ebay


From the angle of my pictures it looks hard to handle the handbrake, but if you take a look from another angle you can see there is enough space to handle the handbrake (no worry, somebody try to open my passanger door without a key ... so to speak ... keyless :mrgreen: and stole my 5 € parking coins)

And yes, it was from eBay. I search for a UK Dealer on eBay because my German Dealer don't deliver to UK and has no more arm rests. Here is a example in the UK:eBay Item

Hey, Graham. I should think that made fitting the exhaust easier! I never thought of tipping the van on its side! :lol:

Took headlights out (without removing bumper) flatted em off and 2k laquered 'em, look 50 times better (were cloudy and yellow!), new bulbs, leds sides and chromey indi's, changed steering wheel and the gearstick centre (nasty 5 quid insert from ebay), swapped all wheels for a set of michelins, scrubbed bumper and treated, front end looks tidy now, was going to fit a c/l alarm but ran out of light..
The left hand one (in picture) was shot, been run with the back off for a long time by the looks..
