Not so much a chore more of an unexpected surprise. I I though all I had to do was remove the interior light but ended up removing all the other bits as the aerial sits a lot higher up the roof than the light. I should have realised. Anyway it didn't take long, just longer than I thought. Is it because mines a hi-top its further up.

carpeted the cab side of the bulkhead, fitted some elastic storage nets and made a hinged flap so I can get 3mtr lengths through the bulkhead :-)

Those are useful mods. Any pics available?

Vans are designed for people with imagination. Cars are so limiting ... what can you do with them?

Swapped the single cd player for a 6 cd player, got error code E3, searched the net for ways to fix it, took it apart, still no joy, sent a nice message to the dick on Ebay who sold me it only to receive a load of crap off him so started a case against him. When I said it didnt work he said I should contact the carrier and claim against them for dropping it! Surely it's his account with the carrier and he should do that, he even said "it's not like its a £1000 stereo and i'm trying to have you over" (all of this in badly spelt English)
Is it by pure coincidence that as soon as I paid for it, it vanished from my Ebay summary so couldn't leave him feedback!
Also is it coincidence that he answered all his emails asap until I asked for his address to send it back!

Sorry for ranting off topic :oops:

Opened a case in the resolution centre on Ebay, he now refuses to help and said "i'll leave it to Ebay to sort it out"
