What did you do to your Sprinter today.

I mounted 2 second hand leather Recaro seats to improve seating comfort.
I welded adaptors to fit them. It surely improves comfort.

I went around all the exposed internal seams in the roof of the loadspace with a high quality urethane sealant. On my van's wheelbase there's one seam you can't get to because it's obscured by a roof rib, for this one I opted for a generous application of aerosol creeping wax through the holes in the rib.

I'm convinced the rust which developed in the roof seams of my old T1Ncan originated from the inside and worked its way out.

If I get time I'll just overpaint the grey urethane in body colour.

IMPORTANT: do not emulate this task using a silicone based sealant.

I installed a flushmount table floor base, pedestal, and table top

Woke up in my Sprinter this morning, made breakfast and went to work. Another 10 days of this and i have to go back to the city.

Installed cab step set ( purchased from EuroCampers)

Simon,

Can you share the brand of urethane sealant and creeping wax you used and where you purchased same.

Thanks,
Wayne

Got it back from my brother. He used it to get his daughter home from college

As usual, I continued working on my camper conversion. I actually got farther than this on the van today, but by the time I quit, it was late & there was sawdust, tools and stuff all over the place & I was too tired to clean it up for photos. I'll try to post more on my thread tomorrow.

Over the past few days I have:
1. Determined I have a bad injector
2. Installed a Curt Hitch
3. Installed my 50 sound horn
Early next week I should be installing my new injector.

Might poke a mouse under my windscreen rubbers and pull out some mud ,or it might rust

40,000 miles and my first time at doing the maintenance. What do I find, check out the fuel filter. I didn't do the last one so I know who broke it, but didn't feel like driving 50 miles to argue about who done it. The forum left me feeling like WIF sensor could pop out so I figured I'd do something about it. It did drive the last 10,000 miles in this condition so I didn't panic. What's the saying "ignorance is bliss". I did the maintenance and came back at McGuivering the fuel filter after making the hold down out of some stainless I had laying around. Not pretty but I feel better. Found that using the Dielectric grease on the connectors made it easier to disconnect. Anybody else use this or have bad results from using it?

I think it's very pretty. Great job.

For me the jury is out on some dielectric greases. The turn signal switch I recently removed from a 1995 Buick had copper slide contacts which had turned green where the grease was. I think that caused them to fail. I saw that the replacement switch had no grease at all on the slide contacts. Maybe the contact arc affected the combination of the grease and copper? Using it on static slide on connectors should be fine. YMMV

I was told not to use it on O2 sensors though. This link supports that.

I drove it to the surrounding areas of Ellensburg, WA.

I'm considering going out to wash the bug splats off the front end.

moved it out of the way so I could get my chopper out of the shop so we could ride like the wind

I ran a can of Sea Foam through the fuel filter into the motor to see if I could open up injector #2. No dice.

Waxed the roof plus front and rear , do the sides tomorrow
