      And again......another thread gone....6 inches...chapped lips...blah blah.

      I don't really understand your light problem. Is one side light staying on after the engine is stopped?

                  The engine stays running if you turn the ignition off with lights on .you can take the key out , it wil only turn off if you turn the lights off.

                    At least you won’t leave your lights on I suppose!

                        A thought i had was whether it was a half baked turbo cooling system?
                        Like a turbo timer but you have to turn it off yourself?

                          While the panels were off to fit the speaker pods - I had a crack on the top edge of the driver's cab door panel which was annoying when leaning my arm on it. That was sanded on the back side with 80 grit, pasted with wilko epoxy, bandaged with glassfibre CSM and pasted over again with epoxy.

                          [





                          Now the door doesn't pinch my arm when I use it as an arm rest, and it shouldn't crack open again with the glass on the back.

                              it's been a while. i've been doing bits and pieces but i'll lose track if i post up stuff i've only half done. so the latest thing i've finished is sticking some ventilation into the van.

                              i've had an ECS ventilite for about 5 years that i've been meaning to fit. 6 weeks of constant blazing sun seems like a good time to actually do it.

                              first tape a bag to the inside to avoid showering the interior with iron filings:
                              IMG_20180725_174801522 by Simon Goriup, on Flickr

                              set up lubrication system:
                              IMG_20180725_174808758 by Simon Goriup, on Flickr

                              mark up the centre of one of the flat panels. vent needs a 97mm hole... scribe circle with vernier calipers set to 49mm, draw around it with sharpie:
                              IMG_20180725_174826503 by Simon Goriup, on Flickr

                              drill starter hole for the jigsaw:
                              IMG_20180725_175248017 by Simon Goriup, on Flickr

                              realise there's no way in hell the jigsaw is going to cut curves, so drill loads of holes:
                              IMG_20180725_175804647 by Simon Goriup, on Flickr

                              drill/saw/repeat until you have a nice neat hole:
                              IMG_20180725_180829658 by Simon Goriup, on Flickr

                              turn hole of death into a circle with a powerfile:
                              IMG_20180725_181721476 by Simon Goriup, on Flickr

                              bash 5mm holes through to screw the vent down, key paint with wet&dry, carve out some random rust with strip wheel/drill, wipe down with thinners, zinc primer, couple of coats of 2k satin black:
                              IMG_20180725_193010531 by Simon Goriup, on Flickr

                              a bit of sika 221 to seal the holes, bolt the vent down with m5 a4 stainless screws and nylocks, et voila:
                              IMG_20180726_095218584 by Simon Goriup, on Flickr

                              took about 2.5 hours all in. it's not pretty, the whole van is getting painted hopefully this summer, and a full rhino roof rack will hide the vent anyway. forgot to mark where to cut a corresponding hole in the roof lining before screwing it down, so that'll be fun to fix...

                              no idea how well it'll work. i bought it more for getting rid of condensation when camping. i reasoned that if i start with the smallest vent i can find then i can progress to bigger ones if necessary.
