Long time lurker but I have finally taken the plunge and got myself a T6 LWB from Salop Vans. They were great, very flexible and worked with me on what I wanted. I could not recommend them enough. Van is now a perfect base for what I want. Externally complete and internally very clean ready for...

after purchasing my t6, top of the bucket list was a pair of comfy heated captains seats ready for conversion to a camper.my mate put me on to a guy who imports caravelle seats from Germany,so once installed the drivers seat was formally a passengers seat.so these are seats that I purchased.....

Looking at getting my new Stance Plus Streets fitted soon as I’m about to be placed on furlough leave! My question is - do I need any specialist tools to carry out the swap? Spring compressors I know I need but do I need a ball joint remover? Also, any advice would be appreciated.

Hi guys. I brought a new LWB T6 in July 2019. It's done 30,000km. Dealer is virus closed. Brought oil and filter today. 2.0 diesel CAAC 103kw and 340nm. They sold me 7 litres of oil and a cartridge filter. Can you please give me instructions where oil filter is etc and other relevant details as...

Wanted to continue to maximize storage space and utility in the rear of my kombi, so I made a low level centre console from 9mm ply incorporating a small tambour door and a double cup holder from a Mokka rear seat armrest. Its mostly for travelling as there is only ever 2 in the rear seats.

You know I never thought I'd find myself on an Internet forum asking about curtain material, but here we go. We're making curtains for the van and have made some basic templates. They're going to be held on with magnets which we've also tested. But what material have people used to provide...

My kombi has a tripple rear bench seat, and there is a huge amount of space under it that is unused. In last years trip I used a couple of storage tubs to put things in, which was ok, but not great. I was confident I could come up with something better, and started looking for suitable...

Hi, I just bought my first California (T6, Ocean). I'm a big fan of the bi-color version of the T6 looks an will carwrap the extra color myself. Because I want to make it look perfect I'm looking for details how to (safely) remove these items: - door handle sliding door - door handle tail gate...

Hi I will be converting a PV next year. I was wondering if there is any one in south Lincolnshire that is about to or is doing a PV conversion that would like some help or can assist me with queries? Just a thought.

Has anyone got any recommendations for oil extraction pumps? Now, I'm a firm believer in dropping the sump plug to do an oil change but I always seem to spill at least some oil so I'm thinking of getting an extraction pump to pump most out before removing the sump plug.....and I think it would...

I need to get a tow bar fitted to tow a small trailer, I have had a few quotes but just wondered what you guys might suggest as a reasonable price. Also should I get a removable or fixed hitch and will any electric work affect my warranty?

I was making progress along the M27 yesterday, when a fella in a Transit stated flashing and waving at me. I naturally assumed it was just van envy, but he drew alongside and said my rear spoiler was flapping loose and I should stop straight away ! I pulled off at J2, and found the thing was...

Hi, is there a particular way to update the map on my sd card. My T6 was new on 22nd December so I guess I should have an update to make sure it is up to the latest version. Thanks.

Hi All, Cant justify the cost of a set of thermal blinds that will only get used once in a blue moon, has anyone made their own? Thinking, some black fabric with bubble wrap inside and magnets to attach? Or are there any cheap 'off the shelf' alternatives? Cheers.

Looking for examples of how people are storing boards and equipment in the rear, and still having space for other items. I have a Kombi for reference. Seen on another thread some people using these: Kombi Beds for Camper Vans But at £900, I'd rather make my own. Any pictures or ideas most...

Any folks out there have a DIY Awning? I'm not wanting to fork out hundreds of pounds for an awning i'm probably going to use a handful of times in the Scottish Summer so I was thinking about a Tarpaulin plus some extending poles with a couple of guy ropes pegged down. Anyone made something...

does anyone know if its still possible to fit cab divider curtains in a t6 with a sunroof, and not drill through anything in the roofspace ??

I'm sure it's been covered before but I can't seem to find the answers I'm after before I start breaking things! I want to remove both the chrome part of the front VW badge and the chrome strips that emerge from the badge and go towards the headlights. The idea is that I can then either black...
