Hi All, Thank you for all the help so far. I am trying to work out how to remove the lower plastic trim in the dog bone bumper so I can replace it with a chrome trim. Photo attached. I have read that the bumper has to be removed, I did manage to take the trim out from the front but for some...

I have been in contact with the conversion company and mentioned the advice given to me by CRS concerning the incorrect tyres being supplied on the rims and Steve mentioned this was very common and he didn't know why it still occurred. I didn't know it would be an MOT failure until Steve told...

After some advice please, I have been taking my eldest paddle boarding recently and she loves it, looking to buy an inflatable one (or two!) just looking for a lower end price one that will do the job, can anyone recommend one? Amazon would be ideal as I could get it quicker as away next week...

Hi guys, I have a T5.1 T30 LWB lowered 40mm on H&R springs I find the ride a bit crashy I recently changed from 275/35/20 wheels and tyres to 18 inch 235/55/18 all terrain and the ride has improved considerably but I would like to improve the comfort levels. Has anyone fitted the H&R with Meyle...

Hello all, Started looking at fitting my new so-low coilovers on my T28 T6.1. Got drop links off, strut bolts removed and top mount bolt removed but strut would still not come out due to driveshaft fouling on the subframe not allowing the hub to go low enough to take the strut out. Am I right...

Mu advice is don’t put grease on the lower roller if you visit the beach, it just turns into grinding paste.

Hi All, new to this forum but just recently took my T 32 17 plate to Bognor Motors for an STXA suspension upgrade, was it worth it, absolutely! The difference in ride quality is amazing in every respect the van now feels better connected to the road and much safer and the lowered look is just...

Did you get this resolved?!

A bit of an extension to this thread.Trolley jacks and axle stands are the answer for most jobs without a lift. Recently though I’ve had to lower the rear belly tank on my camper to access and repair drain pipes. The axle stands get in the way for this job so I used ramps. Although most...

The ideal tyre sizes can vary depending on your vans load rating and if you are lowered and by how much, but I prefer staggered width tyres on staggered wheels when possible. If you can let me know the load rating of your van and how much your van is lowered, if at all, I can offer you some...

An entertaining post @Jonesy123 with an important dash of reality for anyone considering “van life”. We are 2 years in now and very glad that we (1) went with a new T6.1 conversion rather than a romantic purchase of an older van (2) avoided the trend towards lowered suspension and massive alloys...

Hi everyone after a bit advice my swb shuttle is lowered and on 20” which I love and drive ride is great, but I’m not convince everything at rear is correct when I look at van I always feel like the wheels at rear aren’t sitting straight. I’m not technically clued up on this so not sure if it is...

Advice please, and apologies in advance if it's obvious to you. But I'm not the most mechanically minded chap so really appreciate you sharing what might be obvious. :) I've had enough of the look of the 16" Claytons and it's time to man up and have a change, and I fancy going for something 19"...

Fitted a Handbrake lowering kit yesterday, handbrake was already on the looser side of things, so now even maxed out on the adjustment Its not biting enough. Assume easiest way now is to use the underbody adjuster? How many clicks am I looking for I keep seeing the magic number of three...

Hi everyone, I could do with some help. My T6 T28 is currently on factory 17" alloys with 235/55/17 tyres. You can see the gaps between the wheels & arches in the photos, 65mm on the rear & 100mm at the front. Ultimately id like to have some wolfrace wolfsburg Gloss Black alloys on the van but...

I’m going to be getting the gloss black upper and lower grill. I haven’t got fog lights so would the existing covers need to be sprayed or wrapped as the fills don't come with the set! I’m buying from Transporter hq. Any advice much appreciated.

Morning gents, looking for advice on my van valuation. I know people will ask this all the time, but I literally can't find another van close to mine and its time for a new one. Original specification September 2018 Highline T28 SWB 2.0 TDI BMT 150 Barn doors Panel Van 67,700 miles but in...

Its the rake angle of the van all the weight is on the rear , you need to level it up !! ideally get some proper shocks in there too to maximise grip . We all talk about camper sag affectionately as a joke , BUT these vans arent safe when the rear is 40 mm lower than the...

Thanks, yes I was intending to use both the jack and the stand.
