What did you do to your mk6/7 today?

[ned]

Drove it even though I still have a caliper bolt missing I'm not dead yet

[bambi mk 1]

Has anyone got a link or info on 21mm x14 x2 tapered alloy wheel nuts genuine Ford?
I'm considering fitting alloys at some point and it is possible that they'll be tapered ie. Custom wheels.

I've seen 19mm nuts but would prefer oe.
Read many threads on wheels etc but nothing conclusive on Ford fitment nuts.
Cheers.

These are the ones I bought and I've had no problem with the studs bottoming out

I did look for open nuts at the time but could only find them in 19mm

That's from the sheer horror of the flashing coil light

Well that was fun

I opened the fusebox to reveal the 60A r21 relay positive splice cable for ignition live. And I got a live cable into that and loom taped it up to the radio area. I then connected a ground cable to the A pillar ground bolt. This gave me the ignition live that I wanted for my accessories. I kept the permanent live that already went to them. I was going to have switched option for the 3 that I have but couldn't be arsed, so we have ignition live to the left cubby and the centre. But I have a switch to turn them permanent off camping etc. The drivers cubby is permanent.
The following picture will explain.

Nice and tidy job, notice your battery is reading 11.8 V. Mine settles down ant 12.2, wonder if it means battery is on the way out. I guess we will find out soon as this winter might be colder than usual.

I have a small battery at the back and a big 3000 battery at the front and I suspect they aren't suitable combined, but I don't want to spend nearly 200 on 2 new batteries
I will bite the bullet eventually

Been great so far, ok so I buy a new one every 3 years even though the one in the van is still health

So did you fit the switch with a hammer
