Changed the pollen filter,wiper blades and air filter this morning because they were blocked solid, they were supposed to have been done on its last service. Fitted a new actuator pipe as well because the old one had perished and finally got the egr blank done. Just got the oil,oil filter and diesel filter to do tomorrow

got my van back from the painters yesterday. 3 days later than expected but well worth the wait. Looks like a new van now. Will try and get pics up later on today.

Got a remap done, feels a bit more responsive. Will wait to see performance figures

Tried to fit Focus ST seats, wouldn't fit on the fitting plates I bought, frustrated!

I insulated the roof of my van with Thermawrap, hoping to try and stop/reduce the condensation on the roof.

Cheers for the comments, the locking draw box things are just from homebase I think and I bought the latches and used "stick like sh*t" to hold the latches on and drilled holes in the side pillar for them to lock into.
The LEDs are great, was fed up of not being able to see when it's dark, now it's like daylight in there :-)

Fitted new cambelt and tensioner and replaced the broken blindspot mirror glass on drivers wing mirror.

Not sure what to do to it next I'm sure I'll find something
