Was a Newbie but getting the hang of it now.
Ordered new 2 level step - managed to bend last one as to low and more or less had to jump down to it.
Also milenco quad just for the extra height.
And some motion activated led bowl lights for around the throne.!
The two level step came during the week IT'S HUGE!! This one I may have to step up to get on it!
I've stood on smaller podiums!!

Also found a supply of these

Out of interest where are you getting them from as I find the reflections a pain in the arris.

Fiamma Cargo Bag for bike rack fitting

Looks neat now but can't say I'm too impressed. The holding loops can't be used because they centre the bag on the rack and it blocks the rear light cluster, and they don't stay tight anyway. Looks neat(ish) now but a lot of diy modification needed!

I've just ordered another right hand side wing mirror for my left hand drive. This time I have gone for medium length as In my various trips to Scotland I have now had three mirrors trashed or badly damaged. The most recent is on dash cam showing I had slowed to 19mph in anticipation of limited room. The knob coming the other way was doing 40 plus and my wife is screaming he's going to hit us just before impact. White van man regardless of colour is simply thick. I think his sat nav stuck to his windscreen actually blocked his view of my wing mirror. I have bought from Autodoc £139.95 delivered from Europe

Can you do a write up of instal and also provide the amount of “sticky out” that the current and new are from the door. It’s a job I’ve thought of doing but can’t find the measurements
Thanks.

Since 1996, had Elddis/Swift/Rapido/Rimor/Chausson MHs. Autocruise/Globecar PVCs/Compactline i-138
A new telly - LG 22TV410V 21.5\" Full HD LED TV Monitor - for the bedroom (doesn't have one) as it will be nice sometimes to be able to go to bed for late night viewing rather than sitting in the lounge, got it off Curry's on Ebay for £113.99 delivered as there was a 5% discount on this particular model. It arrived today and the sound is brilliant, much better than a lot of TVs, probably better than the large on in our lounge! As it's a monitor too I can use it when I do our tax returns (laptop for the return and monitor for the figures to input).

Also really splashing the cash ... they say things happen in threes ... well our kettle has lost it's 'spring' so the lid doesn't stay up when filling it and of course this means if you forget it's early shower time :rolleyes:, then our Breville sandwich maker decided it only wanted to cook one side of the sarnies, and finally our toaster occasionally has a hissy fit and doesn't pop up and has definitely seen better days so as Asda has some of their own brand products on offer at the moment I ordered a matching black kettle, toaster and sandwich maker, just £25 for the lot! :giggle:

I can't ever remember buying a new toaster in the past or matching small appliances so I'm unproportionally excited about getting them! :LOL:

There is only about 40mm difference and I'm quite certain it will not impair field of view. Most important is that left and right hand drive mirrors are not the same as the mirror housing to arm angles are set for the driving position. To change you just need to remove the door card but yes I can do pictures.

Just googled
I believe arm lengths are
S 80mm
M 160mm
L 190mm

The arm length is basically the width of the gap between mounting face, and the mirror head I assume?

I would like to just change the off side, as it’s in the wrong place for me when I drive, as I get the window bar across the view to the mirror.

I will have to measure mine and see if I’m long or medium

Thanks for the measurements

Bit confusing working out whats medium, I've seen medium listed as 135, 145mm 170mm even 190. And then it's not clear exactly where measuring between. I think ours are long and would consider swapping to medium as they look overkill. But with conflicting info its hard to know whats what.

Not bought but this is a good price if anyone is looking for a Catloc for a 2.2 HDI euro5 Boxer or Ducato. I paid similar for one a couple of weeks ago. Usually about £130

Why not pass any bargains spotted to fellow Funsters (y)
