What have you done to your Elgrand today?

Was pleased as we've had end of the world rain where I am for ages, and before I went for a spin, I opened the sunroofs to have my regular peek. Chuffed that all that was there was one single drop in the passenger side silver drain rail/channel, and a few on each side of the front sunroof's cassette, right by the drain holes. So I dabbed that with a clean microfiber. I mentioned before that I hope this scant amount is because it's got good seals on them, and hardly any gets in in the first place 🤞

Then took the dog for a walk up New Tredegar

(the thing under the doors is the electric slide step)

Gotcha. I've definitely got 2 reverse lights and it doesn't look like there are two bulbs in the lenses from what I can see. I suppose it's possible they could also be dual function bulbs, but as mentioned I can't find a switch so I'm reasonably convinced there are no fogs at all.

Reverse lights aren't a legal requirement and aren't tested as part of an MOT, but there may be some regulations around their number and positioning, and now that I've said that I think there are similar rules around position of foglights. If I'm remembering correctly, they must be 300mm up off the road. I'll have a look at the regulations.

That's it, I can't travel too far with them...I hadn't thought it through the far..🤣
...its actually an extension for the EV charger.

Wife's car (Elgrand) sits near the house, my car from work, an hybrid behind that but the lead wouldn't reach.

4 pole plug & socket used to extend it.
 
Spent the afternoon cleaning out the rubbers on both sliding doors and boot. Looks like they had never been done!! Cleaned all runners and insides of sliders and boot door too. A job totally unseen but glad it's done
