Will be colour coding the front light inners to match at some point too. Might even order another CB antenna and use it for the DAB so one on each side match one looks a bit weedy at the mo

Yep Loot,you can delete it now before anyone else sees it,you secret is safe

Well I marched into the garage, smashed the place up to find some gear oil, martched out to the van, smashed it up to find something to lie on and an allen key, smashed the bolt to undo it, and as it came to the end of the thread guess what, oil came out ffs i could have not bloody bothered. :? So the box is sh*t then basically. But it is OK when warm, and I've greased all of the mechanism.
What's up with the box??

filled it with 3 christmas trees for the family, they all slag me off for having a van and then when it comes to moving stuff or picking up christmas trees it suites them down to the ground :evil:

Had to break into the camper this evening, Locked it using the remote a few days ago (after some scumbag trying to break into the house) knowing the front battery was knackered but figured I'd just use the key in the door to unlock.
Key worked in the door last time I tried it but not today :x

Won't say how I got in but it was much easier than it should be, under 5 minutes, no damage no noise :shock:
