...both cambelts etc. No problems so far, added another 10 000 already. I cannot consider resale value because the van was modified for wheelchair access and I will have to keep it for as long as possible, but I guess it will be difficult to sell with such high miles. Do not buy ii if it is...
...I'm trying to find out if the 80l fuel tank sits lower than the 70l or if its a different shape. Basically how the extra 10l is incorporated.
Tried searching but no joy, would be grateful for any links or pictures.
Its due to needing an underfloor side lift fitting for wheelchair access.
Having completed the wheelchair access removal we are now moving on to the camper conversion. I have read numerous posts on shuttle conversions, but can't convince myself on the usefulness of retaining the rear hvac unit. We will fit a separate diesel night heater as part of the conversion, and...
@starstruck
yep same from us at Surrey we go down to the south coast most weekends
my wife is disabled and wheelchair bound most of the time but hey life goes on
anytime you wanna day out down our way just message sure we can all arrange a meet up
good luck with your new van
...Also has electric side steps on front and side passenger doors and full length running board on drivers side. It has been used as a wheelchair accessible vehicle and also has at present a 1000 mm wide electric semi automatic vapor ricon rear ramp. Full length flat ( not dropped) smart...
Had Adrian Flux with a wheelchair accessible vehicle - had to claim due to a no fault accident driver drove off. Had an extra premium to provide a curtesy car in event of a claim. Bloody curtesy car was a Corsa how the hell can you get a full time wheelchair user in that. Their reply "we will...
...especially as you can never settle for the 'starting from' spec. Presumably that's a vat free price given that it's specifically for wheelchair users. I think the wheelchair adaptation on these is more than we need. I don't think we need or want a heavy ramp/lift. Just something that we can...
Has anyone bought and fitted one of these eGrill hidden 240v hookup to their vans. We are considering it so that we can charge our wheelchairs overnight when we go camping Or just generally away from home anytime.
would love to hear peoples feedback on it and to see some install photos.
I am looking for a set of Caravelle floor rails - either a full set or one single and one nearside double rail to convert a wheelchair vehicle back to standard.
Have tried most of the main suppliers but they will only supply the rails when you buy a triple seat, which I already have!
Thanks...
I agree Dell - as I tried to explain in first post, this van has been modified for wheelchair use and adapted for hand brake and throttle. I've been checking on the hand brake mechanism and there is a compression switch there to mirror the foot brake being operated to enable starting - I just...
...was still extremely light. My local garage today did 4 wheel alignment for me, and after their test drive they commented on the lightness of the steering which prompted this post.
This van was based on a wheelchair mobility conversion - is it possible that the steering assist could be boosted?
I don’t have the luxury of an EHU being fitted to the van as it is a Motability vehicl.e. I just thought that this would be a way to bring power into the vehicle that can be removed before the lease ends.
Anyone removed wheelchair access equipment from your van and turned it back to stock. Seen this Caravelle with no front passenger seat and wondered if it was straight forward or going to be absolute hassle!
...as mine, you will not be able to fit a standard tow bar as is, as the drop down part of the rear valance goes where the tow bar would be and the fixing holes through the chassis to bolt the tow bar in place are cloaked by the sides of the wheelchair ramp. Post some pics of what yours looks like
...at the standard level hence not having to worry about the front spoiler becoming damaged. Would you be providing access for your sons wheelchair via the rear. If so this would be the solution.
I hope this helps.
PS: if you want I can take an image of my T6 with the rear aired out and the...
My van was originally a wheelchair access vehicle and I suspect it may have been fitted with extra ride height springs to give adequate ground clearance under the fuel tank which was lowered 150mm. It's currently on 19" Range Rover wheels and I nearly needs step ladders to get in! I don't want...
