Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
I do without heat at work. When we get a rental trailer in we slap our trailer number ID on which is on a number plate that gets attached to the front and on the rear inside. Have to pull the bastards off when they go off hire so end up with the shite to remove off the back of the plate so it has at least a chance of not falling off next time it gets used.

I thought WD40, but that'd leave a residue & stop the new tape sticking afterwards.
Brake cleaner is always the answer.

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
Anyone have one of those cheap Android Auto/Car Play head units? The sub £100 quid ones you just stick to the dashboard, plug in to the 12v socket and Aux in and its ready to go?
Don't want to splash out €400 to have the standard head unit in the Doblo taken out and replaced.

This might be better.

I'm thinking of getting similar for the kia.
I've already got one in my van and it's still fine after three years.

Or find me a return ticket to you and Ill come and plug it in.
It's a piece of piss to put a head unit in. The hard part is fucking around fitting options like cameras.

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
I don't really want to change the standard head unit, so one of these add on units will be sufficient for my needs
