Not a lot other than finally removed the crankshaft sprocket and took some pics of where I have to put RTV sealant, no idea how Im going to do this from behind the cover and back to front!

After failed attempts at getting my local jet wash to clean without using their brush I bit the bullet and have started to buy in stuff to clean the paintwork. I already have a Kärcher K2 which has only been used to clean the MIL's patios.
So far I have bought 2 £1 buckets from Halfords and the stuff in this photo arrived this afternoon. I have pretty much used the stuff listed by @Karl here. Hopefully the stuff will arrive in time for me to get the muck off before the NE meet up on the 18th.

Joined an elite band of dual fuel brothers and sisters. Yes my friends our Ellie has been to see Simon for LPG conversion. For those newly here thinking about it, all I can say is; do it. My wife and I read many of the great reviews about Simon's LPG conversations. They are all true. In fact I'd like to add that Simon and I had a few conversations prior about our conversation and I knew he was the man for the job. Let's just say I messaged Simon a few times on our way home because the LPG kept going and going. From South Elmsall, Pontefract Yorkshire to Conwy then back to Pembrokeshire all on LPG. Over 500 Km on the E51 odometer. Looking forward to filling up with LPG again soon. The craftsmanship and pride Simon takes in his work is why you want to choose him for you LPG conversation.
All I can say is my wife and I are extremely happy we met with Simon and had him do our conversion.

Not listed on their website anymore though? I mention it and it disappears.

Hey @P4ddy , I really struggle to update the website and adverts sorry, its an ongoing thing unfortunately, but feel free to give us a call or whatsapp if you ever have any questions and happy to run through prep on any particular vehicle

But yes, we prepare the Elgrand with an open cheque book....

Powerflex bushes also fitted pre sale.

If we have any paintwork done, I will take photos before to show you we are not hiding anything, and always provide a copy of the auction sheet so that you can compare our prep vs what it says in Japan.

Jumvea mileage certs issued in Japan and BIMTA available too.

Thanks, Matt 07721 731916

Thanks very much Frederick, I enjoy our chats too and it was nice to meet you both.

Todays update from Dipesh @Daisuki JDM

Filters replaced, even though they didn’t really need it

 

[Richard Fox]

Gave the white one a well deserved wash and then stuck in 35 euros of 98 octane at €2.09 (16.68 litres or 3.7 gallons) that should get me between 100 and 150km!!!

Replaced the standard front fogs with LEDs & integrated halo DRLs.

Lost £104 on a tank of fuel….. eek!

I've done nothing to, and can do nothing to my van .
Currently have no drive as we're building an extension and can't even clean it on the street as it's chucking down again.
I've got a very dirty, sorry looking van.

Having a brake service Monday though

Realising any kind of van of van based Vehicle is a pipe dream. Even if we had one we couldn't use it for our intended purposes because we have cats who suddenly require twice daily meditation for life as of last summer and we have no one who can administer it for us whilst away for a weekend anyway. I can change out of my wetsuit in the car as it's roomy enough so that's ok. Bit gutted really but that's just how it is

Oh no I know how you feel missing our e50

Simple install, with 4 bolts behind the front trim panel.
