So the van is home, the vacation is over, and now I can start getting her prepped and ready to home me and my office on many excursions. I've been making a list of items that don't work, need updating, or could do with maintenance, and I plan to use this thread to keep track of all the things I'm doing and hopefully showcase a new era for the Bacon Van.
Here's the current laundry list in no particular order:
I'm going to do a basic interior clean tonight, and my priorities are to get the rear door locking again, replacing the vinyl insert, and either recharge the A/C or fix the driver's window. The rest I will have to work through as paychecks/time allow.
Here's the current laundry list in no particular order:
- Washers don't work (wipers do move though)
- Driver's power window doesn't roll down
- Slight steer to the right
- AC needs recharging
- Seatbelts need fixing up
- Squeak occurs on full crank of the wheel (I think in both directions but I still need to check)
- Read door doesn't lock - key doesn't turn all the way
- Needs an oil change
- Check all rubber components and replace where worn
- Go through the recommended maintenance schedule and basically do it all
- VOLTS is lit up on dash - car started on first attempt after 6 days sitting though, so charging system seems ok
- Slight squeal comes from the roof of the van at around 40mph - I think air is coming in somewhere
- None of the lights seem to work, but I don't know where the switch is for them
- Front headlight is out and has moisture in it
- Remove and decide whether to store or sell middle seats
- Interior clean (decide if carpet and bed is being replaced)
- Exterior clean
- Find and destroy spider factory
- Weather stripping on doors is old and cracked
- Vinyl insert needs replacing
- Figure out how to get CB radio working again!
- Install a new sound system with aux input/bluetooth
- Replace blinds with something less fiddly
