More Small Repairs

The rear "wardrobe" door had a broken hinge. I replaced it with a new one.

I noticed that the front left turn signal indicator housing had water in it. So I removed that glass housing and drained the water out.

Also, the whole left front light assembly felt as if it could be moved easily. When I looked closer, I saw that there is a crack in the rear of the plastic housing, right next to one of the screws. I bent it slightly so that the cracked parts snapped back into the proper shape, then I put a piece of duck tape over it.

When making tight turns to the right, I had noticed that the left front wheel did touch something inside the wing. I had a closer look and noticed that the inside wing plastic cover was broken and apparently bent out of shape. I removed it, then re-attached it, slightly at a different position than before, further to the front so it would not touch the wheel anymore.

More Work Done

The battery box coincidentally fits exactly between the bars of the structure in the back. So I put it there and attached it with screws on the top and on the right side. First I wanted to put it to the very left, so that it would be covered completely by the left door. Then I decided it would be better to have it at the right-most end of the rack, so that it is closer to the "electricity distribution center" under the wardrobe at the right side, and that the cables would be shorter.

Attached new handles at the wooden doors of all furniture. Reworked the glove compartment closure and added a second catch. Placed the TV-antenna outside in the back, cable just going through the rear door seals. Hid all the cables coming from the central locking control box. Bought strong 25A cables for the battery connection.


Realised that the electric connection of the relay TEC3M is incorrectly done. At the moment it would always use both batteries, and any power consumption at the leisure battery would also drain the main battery. Which moron did the cabling of this relay?

Cleaned a bit the vehicle.
