I'll either seal the under floor ventilation or replace the exhaust for a ss one and direct the fumes away, plan is to have the back comfortable for the dogs and open it up to the cockpit so hse wants sorting out.

Why not add a pipe on the exhaust and direct it straight out just in front of the rear wheel, stainless pipe on eBay's about £12. N

Well tbh i don't know what parts are needed, ie. Does it only have the 1 antenna? I have the roof mounted antenna and it picks up fm great, but no other frequency seems to get picked up :-(

It is possible that the last owner pinched some bits off the van before giving the van back, that said tho they left the European maps sd card for sat nav, spare brand new wheel, document pack, and expensive looking sine wave inverter which could have been removed in 10 mins and sold down the pub for a oner.

So what gets dab to work then bloody hell? I've never ever heard the quality of dab, we've only just started to get channel 4 round here :?

My DAB aerial is a single aerial that splits into two wires, and connects to the head unit seperatly if that helps?

Can't say I've ever listened to am? But the dab is pretty good signal wise :D
