My MK5 Minibus Project

[Muttley]

Tips for tinting, take out what glass you can get out, clean glass SUPER clean, cut tints precisely to shape, use plenty of slightly soapy water on the glass and the exposed glue side of the tint, work with the squeegee in an X pattern from the centre of the glass. If you get "spearing" at the edges, squeeze the water out into some kitchen roll at the edge to remove the water. Use water on the inner side of the tint to avoid scratching it, thats about it, good luck

Wish I read this before I done them, could not work out how to remove the windows do done them whilst in

[RonTransitmk5]

Window Tints all done, took just over 3hrs including a couple of coffee's & cost a grand total of £15.68.
Now in the same bubble league as Altransit & Robbie.cee

Note to anybody thinking of doing this, read muttley's advice above & buy better quality tints.

As mentioned before, if you stand right up close & look for the faults, you will see them everywhere, just glancing at the windows though they look fine & they look well from a distance I am with the results for less than two pound per window

Well thank you, will be keeping this baby on the road as long as it's viable, still needs loads doing to it, I'll get there eventually lol

[robbie.cee]

Well your not alone there , Ron. Ongoing owork for us all mate

[RonTransitmk5]

Not done anything on the minibus last couple of months as been side tracked. Does washing it count
Built a brick BBQ & a greenhouse for the kids.
Just finished making a space under my stairs just in time for the England game kick off.

My reverse camera has just arrived, hoping to get it fitted soon (Not today), need to wire it to the reverse light.
How do I tell which wire to splice it to as upon opening up the rear light there are lots of wires.
I need to work out where to put the red wire & the black wire?

[Muttley]

Get a test light, disconnect multi plug from rear lamp assy, put in reverse (ign on) test each terminal on plug till the light lights up, bingo thats the one. Red lead is 12v pos and black is earth
