There's a drop down document tray under the glove box too in case you haven't found it yet

Today I used my Ellie to drive to a shop and buy a coat for my 9 day old daughter! Then the sun came out and it was far too warm for a coat!

I hope you took it back and got a refund so you could spend the money on the coat back on your ElgrandIts summer so its NOT classed as child neglect for a few months yet

Gave mine a good hoovering out and cleaned the carpets this morning.Whilst thumbing through the Japanese manuals in the glove
Box I found a small red bag with two little Rider stickers in it.Wondering what they may be for?

Possibly for the wind deflectors?

It was quite chilly here yesterday morning and the missus got in a panic cos we hadn't got a coat for her. I will return it immediately and spend the six quid on Ellie

Any chance of before and after numbers?

Milage wise? I'm afraid I didn't drive it much between fitting the K&N and having the EDT treatment - which is what I did to my Elgrand today. I'm going to be keeping an eye on mpg (or km/l) and will report back in the EDT thread.

Today (ok, yesterday) I restored my headlights.

After:

Not perfect but definitely better. Been meaning to do it since getting a warning about them on the last MOT.

That looks good - a big improvement. Mine are slightly cloudy so it is something on the list. What did you use?

Turtle Wax - Headlight Restorer Kit - neither the cheapest or most expensive but the reviews were pretty good for a non-machine based (i.e. using your drill!) restorer. Took about an hour from start (masking the paint work) to end (using the UV protection pads).

Word to the wise: Do mask the paintwork if you plan to use the pads as they make quite a mess which could be difficult to remove should it get on the paintwork. And do wear the provided glove when using the UV wipes - I used a non-gloved fingertip to help open the wipe and it started tingling very shortly afterwards! Definitely a skin irritant.

Anyway, pretty happy with the result given the minimal outlay of time and money.

Thanks for that - useful stuff

Washed mine and repositioned the front camera. Don't know what the birds around here have been eating but I now have small yellow stains on my paint Good excuse for a detail later.

Had my rear nearside caliper sorted - stuck piston fixed, new pads and slide pins fitted, and had the air-con regassed. All good now - thanks to Ollie Keates @ Keates car and van.
