What engine oil is everyone using?
I don't know but my Estima i was changing the oil every 5 - 6 k. With this engine i would assume 5 - 6 k again depending on driving style. Personally oil will be changed every 6 months or 5k which ever comes first. Using Shell Helix is fine but there are cheaper oil's that do the same job.

Not sure as we won't get ours converted due to the government not making its mind up on LPG. However there are a few members who have gaslow installed so go for it.

Welcome, As said above. Plus make sure you get a 3L or above if having a camper. A lot of people have them as campers and there are a few converters which are preferred. We have not converted our van. (While the kids are young still) But things to look for. 1. Make sure it is undersealed 2. check for any rust spots on the inner wheel arches 3. if LPG converted check the certification and make sure it's had a service in the last year.

Never used them. We are still at the point where it's the whole family and not just myself and my wife. But we have a company we look after who deal and sort out conversions to all vehicles to campers. So will be going with them when it's time. So please let us know what is good and what is not.

Speedo converter chip
WIth the camera its a case of soldering the wires as it comes clean or you can use (urgh!) scotch locks.

Speedo converter chip
Are you okay with a soldering iron? Normally they actually have the sockets on the back you can plug directly into. (most models, depends on who's selling it and the model) But we've used these from halfords before. ISO1 ISO2

Speedo converter chip
If you can afford it take it to a garage to do the conversion. Then the liability if it is not correct is on them.

it will, it pushes the video signal out from the back of the unit which would have three phono leads coming from it.

Using the default Fog light switch
Okay so you hate having the "Fog light" switch you got from your installer in the UK. Those small ones are okay but stand out like a sore thumb. Here's what you need and how to wire it up. 1. Remove the surround for your switches. 2. See which wire is the on to the light. (For instance mine was the one by itself at the bottom of the switch. 3. pull them all off the old switch and cut the connector off and use the scotch lock on the Blue/Red wire on the image below. (these plugs are tied back a bit so you need to free them up.) 4. cut the other wires off (I taped them up so no bare wires were showing.) 5. Click in the connector to the switch. Here's a couple of pictures and links you need. Parts needed: Fog light Switch Scotch Locks Stubby Pliers Cable snips Electrical tape Time: 10 - 15 mins.
