Hi Guys, Just wanted to say a quick hi. Just bought a ‘16 T6 from Broadway Van Centre in Pontypridd. No conversion on it, but it’s carpeted out. Planning on using it as a vehicle for the business (photography and a bit of engineering), and then sleeping in it on the odd photography weekend...

I'm old Colwyn myself. What you got? May have seen you driving about. Have you any recommendations for a mechanic who knows the vans and conversions etc?
I don’t live in North Wales but have a static caravan in Towyn which we stay quite often.
My parents used to take us on our holidays in the 60s to Old Colwyn and we stayed at a large house in Sefton Rd opposite a small car park the house number was 7 if I remember rightly.
Fond memories of the late 60s early 70s riding my motorbikes up the sea front in Towyn and Rhyl.
We regularly go to the Station pub for a meal when we visit Colwyn Bay.

Wilson's in Rhuddlan are indipendant VW garage.
White T6 Orange strips on front. Wilson's in Rhuddlan are good as VW independent garage. We dont do to many transporters we normally send them to Wilson's unless it's standard service or timing belt.
I use the van centre in Junction, not a bad place, don’t be scared to haggle with them, I saved over £100 with my cam belt change.
I always wave, then swear far too much when I don’t get a wave back not getting many waves in the crafter though

Lovely.
Are you a mechanic yourself then?
Ill look into them then, thanks
Just seen you're from stoke. Im originally from Newcastle u Lyme myself. Mile house and Chesterton area.
Cambelt and water pump? I think VW want 850ish but I've seen others offer for about 500 or less. Also read VW have changed the criteria from 4 years to mileage only.
Yeah unfortunately. Don't know that much though just know how to take apart and rebuild lol.
Belt and pump, alt belt all VW parts plus service(filters not VW) cost £850 price fluctuates as oil and filters change prices regularly.
I wouldn't go off those anyway. I did T6 water pump and belt today. 67playe 25k and bearings had failed on pump. Very lucky customer as bearing case sat in bottom of the belt cover.
Cam belt and water pump was just over £400 in 2020.
