Took out the cabin filters for a hoovering & soak in some Oxyclean - now drying off in the greenhouse
While the Glovebox was off I thought I would "just" put the pumpkin head unit in - four hours later its all back together & working, as others have said its a bit tight & make sure everything is earthed properly otherwise its not going to work. Might have dropped a screw down the back of center console - no idea where thats gone but Im sure it will make itself known next time I drive it.

Just cleaned/restored the headlights on my E51.
This worked a treat...

Youtube video (not mine) on how it's done...
The van looks almost brand new now It's amazing how much a difference it makes.
I know there is a thread somewhere on this site, that inspired me to do this
Edit: insert a pic of said Ellie

You can add spacers but I think about 20mm is the max otherwise the bracket hits the bodywork. I experimented with mine so the brackets just touch when closed. 20mm at the bracket end gives a good lift at the latch end.
plug and play it's easy lmfao
Thought I should finally contribute to this thread. I made a combined subwoofer / air suspension tank / compressor box, with sound-sensitive leds, and some 'classic japanese artwork' (tentacles warning ...).

Hardest part was making sure the seats could still slide all the way back / recline as usual!

Nothing on van but had 5 people at various sites wanting a nosey! At least 3 want one so directed them the EOC for advice... Usual questions I couldn't answer... Does it? What extras? Caravan conversion? Can I? 
I know they will get the answers here!
