All done it mate. Knock on the door & the Yodel van is outside "wtf has she ordered now". Open it up & get a flashback to ordering something that seemed like a good idea after a few beers :joy:

As I explain to my wife over and over, it's no good shouting at sober me for things drunk me done, sober me has no control over drunk me, she needs to speak directly to him
 
So today I finally changed the oil. TBH I daren't even look at when it was last done (by BMR) and at how many miles ago, but let's just say it was a little overdue and quite dark. Because it's only 7" off the ground at the front and jacking it up is just such a friggin faff I built a couple of ramps out of a 3m scaffold board from Wickes. Impatient me didn't work out how much wood I'd need and thought 3m would be fine, so I ended up making them three thicknesses high instead of 4, but actually 4.5" lift is fine. Width is perfect for the 235s.

And they hang on the shed wall.

I could have bought some plastic ones but they would have been more expensive, and as I have the tools I saved some money (which went towards the overpriced Halfrauds oil as I hadn't got organised and sorted that out).

Still haven't washed it, or changed the front cabin filter, but I did put a stainless jubilee clip around the exhaust heat shield that was rattling again.
 
Well crap pics but managed to get passenger door and sliding door 20190713_221610.jpg20190713_221707.jpg lights working but even more not working now! 😁

So we've done a few bits and bobs since we got our Elgrand, but getting both TV's to work and play freeview tv has been hubbys mission. Today he had success so now checking out a couple of other things before routing all the cables and installing a switch for the system. View attachment 20819

We just bought a cheap Manhattan freeview box from curry’s which is 12v so we could see if it was possible. We had to buy an hdmi to AV adaptor and it worked. Just dabbling just now and seeing what works what doesn’t then we’ll route cables and adapt as needed. Solar panels, leisure batteries and inverter are next on the list before we start really thinking about our rear conversion and what we want from it.
