Fitted these bulbs as I had one stop working. No pics of the fitting as it only took seconds.

Started with the carpeting. Sadly only got enough carpet left to do one side so will have to get some more. Looking good though.

Finished that then mopped the floor. Happy with my work. Shall order some more carpet up and possibly look at getting the rear windows tinted before I advertise it for sale.

It's probably not even that good. At least I did it all myself though. That's all that matters to me.

How fucking hard is it to clean that Kombi seat and spray a little bit of satin black on it? It's been looking shonky for far too long and it upsets my OCD.

Have to agree with that, it is pretty nasty looking.
Especially with all
The rest of the effort gone into

Awaiting the "I use my van it's a work van and I put muddy bikes in it" response, in all fairness to the guy stleast he's come to his senses and decided to sell it.

I've enjoyed owning my transporter more than any other vehicle I have owned. Flexibility to do anything, drives like a car does, never let me down. Plus it's probably worth more than when I bought it. I came to my senses when I bought it. I just don't use it, or a vehicle at all currently. May as well, regretfully, sell it when the money is good on them.

So HANG ON..
* Its massively flexible
* It can do anything.
* It drives like a car.
* Its reliable.
* You LOVE IT.
So riddle me this: A) if its so great why the fuck don't you drive it all the time and B) why are you selling it?

Were you not tempted to turn it into a weekend getaway van?
Should be a good buy for someone

Originally yeah, but all I ever seemed to do was go biking in it, mostly on my own meeting friends there instead of taking a few people as well all live all over. Actually feel sad to see it go, wasn't this bothered when I sold my Corsa. I have no use for it or anywhere to keep it sadly. Probably regret it, may get a newer t5 if I do.

Good grief. This is what VW have resorted to in order to win back their customers.
