Hello all,
Not yet in a vehicle hunting has begun
Will then be taking the weeks that follow to build a camper out of it. Looking forward to the journey and experience.

Welcome.
Shuttles are classed as a car (M1) rather than a commercial (N1) so for road fund licence (car tax) they will incur the new vehicle premium - some of the 2-4 years old vans I was looking at were nearly £600 a year in road tax.
Also consider 8 seats or less, as 9 seaters can also be difficult to insure privately - however if you are insuring it as a hackney carriage/for hire and reward/taxi then this might not matter.

Hi all. I will be picking up a used T6.1 Highline next Monday. We have a conversion all lined up to turn it into a camper and then we'll start planning some adventures. I've been lurking around for a few weeks now and found this forum to be incredibly useful.
Greetings all!
Previously a member of the T4/T5 forum but had my T6 for 4 years now. T30 LWB 180 DSG is now my daily drive and still puts a smile on my face whenever I drive it
Hello all, just found this forum, looks like i found a new home !!
Would appreciate any suggestions where to go for a starter project Devon/Cornwall based and looking for something i can work on in my spare time but drive to work - maybe ex fleet as they seem to have pretty decent history ( unless you guys can suggest sommat else ? )
Cheers

Hey all!
Been out of the van game for a while but now back on the hunt for one, thought i'd sign up after being a T4/5 Forum member years ago!
If anyone's got a SWB Highline DSG with less than 50k miles, fully converted, does 400MPG and is selling for £300, let me know yeah?

Hey mate.
Cooler commercials in Exeter are good. He can source a van if he doesn't have what you want to start with.
Welcome. You've come to the right place.
Welcome to the best forum.

Hi All,
New member here, got a 2016 140 PS HI LINE with 190K miles on the clock and low EGR flow, I reset the MIL from my phone ever few days, I can see the vacuum exhaust bypass flap on the valve is stuck solid, so suspect it really carboned up. Thing is the van runs great, I quite like the fact the EGR's blocked so not fitting a new one, but wondered if any ones have much luck cleaning these valves?

Hi everyone , I have been looking for a T6 for a few months , coming near a time when I have to stop looking and start viewing .I have no real preference for Long or short, WB had a 2.5 diesel LWB in early 2000's .The range of engines now I thought stick with 150 but have since seen 204's advertised any comments on reliabilty pro's /con's etc. on both. Would have liked a six seater but don't know if it's too much hassle converting to Kombi by myself , or look for factory Kombi ,any advice would be appreciated . Another thought if converting does DVLA take notice and also insurance costs do they differ if a modification .
cheers John
