Sort taking pics of your pod’s out … nice one

[@craigmcg125]

neil, with the berlingo away to pastures new do you plan on giving the vito the ceramic coating. with being ADR would you be able to install a diesel heater in the back for those winter nghs?

[@neptunecourier]

Hi, maybe not, although it did make the van look nice and it was easier to keep clean, I am not sure if the benefit out weighed the time and cost. I dobt fancy a diesel heater i fwel uncomfortable with having the fumes anywhere near where i sleep. If I was going to add a heater it would be a modern camping battery and a low wattage panel heater.

Why didnt you wire them unto the existing light fitting to work with the door?

[@neptunecourier]

Because when tramping I want the lights in the back. Their is a connection in the back of the van. I prefer my way

[@joeaston3785]

Hi, on average what percentage of total miles per week/month is acceptable for dead miles?

[@neptunecourier]

Hi Joe, tough question, and hard to quantify. I aim for as low as possible, and because of where I live I often have a 25mile empty journey to my first job. That though is not uncommon. I have not tracked the dead miles and unlike other drivers I don't get hung up on it. A few days ago for example a driver pal of mine drove from Glasgow to Manchester empty. And another drove from Glasgow to Liverpool empty.

I have the same lights just never got around to fitting them 😂

[@neptunecourier]

Do it I am very impressed for £8.5. I male it look harder than ot was.

[@DaleSteel]

What's with the mechanic suit. Look like a proper technician

[@neptunecourier]

I try

[@vanroamin]

Would of been an easier install just to splice into existing load area light no need for another switch would new LED’s would come on & off with factory fit light as normal

[@neptunecourier]

on the new vito, it can causes a engine management light to come on as it overloads the existing LED circuit. And I would not want it that way as I may be tramping and want the light on for a while

[@niceguy235uk1]

@@neptunecourier SOrry just asked a similar question above. But surely as the new Vito has an option for an LED strip from factory so they would just use the existing lighting circuit?
