| I have successfully removed the 'you have left the key in the ignition whilst the drivers door is open' beeper. Quite alot of mucking around involved, It is located down beside the air duct for the far right hand side vent (RH Drive) within the interior light relay (blue box), I unplugged the relay a while back thinking I had solved the problem, only to find the interior lights no longer operated with the opening of the doors. Since my Van is having a brake master cylinder rebore, I removed the resevoir tank for the brake fluid and was able to pull out the relay, only held in by one bolt, unplugged the cable and out it comes. You then unclip the bottom cover off the relay and the circuit board slides out, simply desolder the piezo electric buzzer from the board (round thing in the corner of the board that lines up with the holes in the outer case), only two pins, slide the board back into the case clip the bottom back on and refit. SWEEEET! | |

| Or you can snip the wire running into the beeper. Just remove plastic cover that surrounds the ignition. (where you put the key in to start) and snip the wire leading into the little silver box that attached to the ignition barrel, tape up the end and done. 5 min job. | |

| Auto steering wheel tilt! Sounds like you have a flash one! Youve got me there, trial and error to find that out I'd say. These vans seem to have a wide variety of spec, yours sounds like a nice one with some extra goodies! | |

| Mine is a work van with shelving and ladder racks , and now brakes that work with out excessive pumping on approach to intersections and no more vibrations due to newly discovered (and replaced) seized uni joint, happy days! It does have some goodies, I just learnt about the proportioning valve that loads up the rear brakes more when I have a load of solar panels on board, I have, however, removed the electric curtains, rear heater and inner panels, or linnings/ trim from the back (to fit the shelves). | |

| although this method disables the interior door light too, I tried just taping up the ptt switch on the door. very quick, but it also disabled the warning light for headlights which is risky. |
