So so so very nearly there

[Chrisfraser05]

Just been in contact with swissvans and my kombi is in the UK.

Just reconfirmed my upgrades are all correct and they are going to pick it up and start the work.

Due to my work pattern it might be 5 weeks till I get it unless they can get it done in the next fortnight though lol

Can't fricken wait

Finally mate

Considering we ordered at similar time it feels like I have had mine for ages.

 

[Chrisfraser05]

I know.

Just heard back and there's no way they'll have the leather done for me coming back out offshore.

I'm going to collect it in person end of September instead. Going to fly down

 

[PukkaT6]

Im very much looking forward to your wrap and you finally being able to mod your van.

 

[Chrisfraser05]

That makes two of us.

My box of mods is growing.

My dash to windscreen seal is on it's way too now

 

[PukkaT6]

My vans now producing much better mpg and thats doing 70-75.

 

[ZipcodeUK]

Wow, i'm impressed. Even more so considering you are in reverse

I ordered an 'Off the shelf' T30 Kombi Highline DSG 150 a few weeks ago from an online leasing/sales company. The van is actually being supplied by Listers VW Droitwich and I got the confirmation today that it will be delivered as planned next Friday 1st September (67 plated). Eeeeekkk I am so so excited at the thought of DSG in my van! Spec I got was heated seats, twin sliders, tailgate, cruise, MFSW, Discover Media, folding wing mirrors in Indium Grey.

I think I must drive too fast. Lucky if i get 34mpg. Maybe I shouldn't have gone for the 204

 

[PukkaT6]

Id swap for a 204 if I had the chance, infact i'd remap to 260bhp if I could lol

I'm thought about remap but it already struggles for grip if you pull out of a junction too quickly. Part of me wishes I'd gone for 4 motion now.

 

[Chrisfraser05]

Got my modding trip planned now too!

Flying down to Cardiff to inspect and collect.
Going from there to Nottingham to have a kombi bed installed.

Heading from there to Preston to have forward camera and DAB android head unit fitted.

Sleeping in the back overnight then continuing up to north Scotland.

Going to bring my vango mat and sleeping bag in my carry on luggage lol

 

[PukkaT6]

What dates this? Im only an hour away so could meet up for a pint and I can check your van out

 

[Chrisfraser05]

28th Sept at the moment pending the wife interfering, tagging along and changing my plans lol

 

[PukkaT6]

Im not doing anything so let me know if you do fancy it closer to the time.

Im just getting some stuff together for a 4 day trip to Cornwall/Devon neck of the woods. No plans and going to stay where ever (hence the toilet coming lol)

Collected my van from Slidepods yesterday, chuffed doesn't even start to cover it, even though my SCA roof hadn't been supplied with all the bits, it's still on the van and a really nice piece of kit.
Took M5 up to Bridgewater where gridlock sent me cross country on B roads and lanes for most part. Thing is, av mpg on screen reads 50mpg when I parked on my drive and after nigh on 2500 miles on the clock, the adblue thing is still saying 5000 miles to top up. Is this unusual?

 

[PukkaT6]

Its similar to my mileage and adblue amount so all good mate
