They look nice mate shame they weren’t comfortable enough
I was thinking of retriming my standard seats as the ones I’ve put in are looking to be a night mare to connect heated seats

Today I have been mostly.......knackering my brakes up. Being a complete idiot I’ve managed to get a load of air into the system and I think the ABS needs bleeding. As I don’t have VCDS (or the skills to use it) I’ll be phoning the garage on Monday........

With taking the callipers off, wouldn’t the ABS need bleeding anyway?

Well, today I gave the old girl a wash
Followed by a good cut, polish and wax... and she scrubs up rather well for an old dear...
First time using a DA machine polisher, cutting compound and polish, what a difference it’s made, swirl marks pretty much gone!!!

@Badger2202 who did the seat re-trims for you?
I like the look of the covers that are available, but fear they would soon go baggy, maybe re trimming is best way forward?

They were done when I bought the van, GTE Customs had them retrimmed, I think it’s the same person who manufactures their seat covers. They maybe able to advise, the chap is very helpful.

Amazing work going on by everyone.
I've been social distancing from the van over lockdown. Been doing a fair few projects in the house.
Have managed to change the discs and pads all round and gave her a wash.
Few things I wanted to ask.
How hard is it to replace the bushes on the wishbone? Is it doable at home with a decent tool set? Came up on last mot and want to change them for polybishes.
Also the brake lights always on and found tha the brake sensor has been butchered.
