V471 Tau is an eclipsing binary system (white dwarf + K2). Its rapid rotation rate makes it a perfect analogue of the well-studied and characterised K dwarf, AB Dor. We have collected spectropolarimetric datasets closely monitoring the rotation period at three well separated epochs. I will present the surface spot and magnetic field maps of the system at all three epochs and discuss the short and long-term variability shown in our datasets. To conclude I will compare the global properties of its magnetic activity with that of AB Dor.
