Newbie from Cumbria

[Martin Gibson]

Hello,just thought i would say hello. Just picked up my first Transporter. It is a T6 Kombi Highline 150 in pearl black. Ex demo with 1500 miles on the clock,comfort dash,nav,twin electric sliders tailgate model. It felt nice driving it home,good step up from my Shogun Sport that I've had for 12 and a half years. I bought it from Liverpool van centre which i have seen some bad reviews about but have to say,i found the whole thing spot on and i also think i got the van for a really good price. I wasnt worried about bad after sales rewiews because i will be using Vw in Cumbria for any work. They have got an absolutely massive stock,there are literally 100's of new and used vans. Anyhow,we will see how it goes

Superb, and welcome to the club .

Now get posting some pics.

 

[Martin Gibson]

Thanks i will take a few tomorrow and post them

 

[ChesterD]

You probably did get a good price. End of year and sales of new cars have been down lately (at least here in Australia and probably in UK I imagine if that's where you are).

...Yeah...Hello from Cumbria! I've been planning to get a bigger van for a while, I've been running a Caddy for my work, and so have just picked up a T6 Highline 102. I plan to make it usable for accommodation when following the BSB and work purposes. Looking for lots of sensible advice on the forum and will be asking many questions....some probably very stupid! But....none of you know me...so? Who cares!! Haha

Hi! Just brought home a 21 plate T28. Have already lined up a conversion company, but here to get help with some DIY upgrades. Live in Cumbria. Looking forward to getting out and about in the van.

Hi all, just picked up this 2020 plate today after long drive from Cumbria to Peterborough and back. Promised myself I wouldn't but another black vehicle (had 4 before) but they do look great when clean (for the first 5 mins). Been looking for months for the right van.

2nd vehicle for us, planning to convert to day van for me the wife and dog after serving duty as a van for a few month while we renovate our new house this spring.

Pleased enough with performance for the 150, I guess from the feedback from my wife in the chase car, I need recalibrate the speedo quite urgently before I collect a bunch of tickets , ordered a new genuine VCDS cable tonight.

Just saying a hello. Just joined the site as I'm looking at getting a T6 or 6.1 shuttle or caravelle if I can find one that my budget meets.

Anyone from carlisle with a shuttle I could come and view

Hello all just wondering if there's anyone on the forum that lives in Carlisel Cumbria and owns a shuttle. As I'm on the hunt for one I'm finding it hard to go view any because there hundreds of miles away. Swb or lwb is fine if there's anyone nearby cheers Lee.

Driving a x-trail 7seater just now but find when we go anywhere with our family it's not big enough, having 3 dogs that's the boot space taken up and 3 kids me and the wife. Or and half the house that goes with the family...hehee
So shuttle 8 seater but thinking of keeping the middle seat out the 2nd row. Will have to see how much boot space is in the swb version for the dogs. Caravelle same 2 2 3 but like the way you can turn the 2nd row seats around to face each other. Been looking a se shuttle but the specs are different some have heated seats some have 3zone air and a few other things. Also dsg auto I think. So a big hello to all from carlisle
