So...if I kept my T5...what could I do to spend money on it?

Thanks for that. I will check it out with my new VW mechanic. While it's s business expense I'll take the luxury and lack of stress of not trying to do things myself.

So far I've bought the Engel 40l fridge (as mentioned). And I went for the 210w Cree LED light bar. Also went for the upmarket 120w projecta solar blanket - very expensive but so portable I can afford to leave it in the van. And a 35amp projecta battery charger for the 2 x 100ah aux batteries - I was almost seduced into one of those Redarc do everything BMS1230 but baulked at the price and some suggestions they are not as good as purported.
Looks like the suspension is all that's left.

I have thought about that one many times...but I just can't work out how to justify it as part of doing IT technician work
Yes I should probably just save my money for the future repair bills

I use Loctite sometimes as an IT Technician.
It must be refrigerated.
