I am considering getting our T6 Caravelle lowered later this year - likely to be 30mm drop Eibach springs or 40mm H&R as I'm not sure I can justify £1,000+ for Bilsteins. I will possibly add spacers at the same time to fill the arches better and whilst I could easily fit these myself, I won't...

We have our first service due in March, any recommendations (we are in Luton)

Hi All, I’ve got a T6 fitted with Air Ride (originally done by Plush). Van has just been diagnosed with a bent drop link (which I have got a replacement of - as that’s what I thought it was) and a “shock that has gone through the top mount”. The garage it’s at won’t do the work on it, as it is...

Hi I've a T6 California Ocean 204 4mo and am looking for a good specialist independent garage. Looking for experts ideally rather than the cheapest. Thanks

VW experts seem thin on the ground in East Yorkshire so I can recommend John Galley on Pocklington industrial estate (near the gliders). Very experienced with VW. He diagnosed my DMF when others didn’t and replaced it with new clutch and release bearing for less than a £1k all in. Very happy so...

Hi all Van is now out of warranty and I’m looking at using another recommended garage in the Aberdeen area for servicing and repairs . anybody on here use other garages other than Clark commercials? Cheers
