Hello 👋 thank you Kai 👍 👌 💪

Good to see some content on your channel again 👍🏼 Did you think about using correx instead of card to help vent the cab. Use it at work, flexible and durable.

[@TwiggsT4]

Yes thank you 🙏 got to do the pump timing idler next, drill out thread and insert a timesert 😥 Not a bad idea, to be honest I made the template out of cardboard and wasn’t sure about what material to use, the cardboard will do for now and I will look into getting some correx 👍

[@stuartjacobs7171]

@@TwiggsT4 I’ve had some rust issues and now an oil leak, which I think is coming from the oil cooler seal. It’s all around there, so assuming at this moment. Got some electrics to sort and replace the pin in the door mechanism to stop the door pin dropping. The list never seems to go down. Lol. But, it’s all good fun. Lol

Nice, unfortunately that model is hard to find. But I'm pretty sure there are other models which are 1din inside 2din in front ;)

[@vern453]

There's loads out there I have the Pioneer SPH-EVO950DAB It's ❤❤

[@roots2825]

@@vern453 I'm more interested in multimedia which are inside the dash not outside or with folding screen.

[@vern453]

​@roots2825 I originally thought that was the way to go i had a alpine flip out before, but I can tell you it looks really nice in my T4 plus you can go larger than what will fit in the dash.

[@vern453]

And they do a long cable so you can fit the din unit elsewhere. That give you the freedom to put the screen wherever you want as an example

[@paulbower5274]

whats that below the unit with the lcd display ?

Air con?

Climate control for front and back, was from factory on some caravelles and multivans

@@TwiggsT4 ahh caravelle .thanks for that summat else ive learnt

[@Stainless316L]

Gets expensive cutting the dashboard trims. I needed a new heater cover on ebay wow they've gone extortionate. Really wish I had the climate control I wouldn't like to think how much that panel is these days. Guess it's all about supply and demand and not much supply 👍

[@TwiggsT4]

Yes the replacement dash vents were not cheap, and the lower trim although I cut it, I have kept the half I cut off in case I was to go back to single din I would be able to get a 3d printed one 👍
