Welcome new members

Hello!
Thanks for letting me join your forum.
I'm not yet the owner of a T6, but I hope to be soon - once I've found the right van.
I'm thinking 150bhp, possibly lwb, and maybe automatic/DSG... With a poptop... There are just so many choices and factors to consider!
I used to have a Ford Transit which got eaten alive by rust.
Hi M@x ,
We took a couple of longish test drives in different vans, and then rented the sort of thing we wanted before we bought. @Cuffy talks the sense! Welcome to the forum that prefers not to use the 'T' word, good to have you!
 
Thank you to you all for a kind welcome. Will post pictures once the van is with me. It’s taken some months to finally get there but hopefully exciting times ahead.
The T6.1 150 DSG 73 plate should be with me within 2 weeks. It’s been scoured and converted by a company who have been unbelievable in no pressure and extremely knowledgeable.

Welcome! Exciting times indeed, I hope the weather improves by the time you get it. Who is doing the conversion for you?

Hi All. Found this forum while looking for uses for the T6/6.1 roof console. We've just bought a 6.1 Santorini from Camper King (pick it up tomorrow) and will be digging around here for ideas and tips n tricks. While I was checking some of the threads for the roof console projects I saw a couple of you have 3D printers. Me too and a laser cutter / etcher. I'm pretty handy with CAD / Design, so will be willing to offer any help or advice if when needed.
Happy Tuesday! :p

Welcome to our humble abode @Dom1nion ! Always good to have another 'fabricator' in our midst! I'm sure there will be a useful item you can create that the assembled brethren will realise we/they need to have! Has anyone done VW fridge magnets yet? Are dometic/sanjo magnetable?
 
Hi all, we have just moved to the UK from Cape Town, and decided to ship our 2019 DSG T6 Kombi along for the ride. It doesn’t seem that the UK has the equivalent model so it’s been tough to get insurance but we are sorted now. (Fingers crossed!). Thanks for an amazing forum, been reading lots of the threads for some time now and thought it time to register.
 
Welcome... both to the UK and to the forum. :)

Hope your insurance wasn't too expensive - at least your steering wheel is on the 'correct' side. :thumbsup:

We did our T6.1 Highline DSG, through Just Kampers Insurance. They were the better option all round, Didn't need Breakdown cover as it's a new van, but we took the replacement / substitute vehicle, (they came out just under £100 lower than SafeGuard, who couldn't offer a replacement van). They wanted us to fit a tracker due to the value, and we went for a Scorpion S7 (as they have a good rating), from Trackershop, who had it for £189. Ordered at 11pm last night, and fitted by 2pm today, by a fellow countryman of yours, called Neville.

Just thought I'd introduce myself
T5.1 t30 highline kombi from Cambridgeshire
The van seems more like a project with the amount of little niggles than an upgrade i've been loving the research with how well documented the transporters are but not the prices to sort my problems...

Welcome to us @Milky199 . We're a lovely bunch of likeminded folk, spending money here, there and blessed everywhere in pursuit of our vans ultimate happiness! A seemingly never ending process! An element of monetary restraint can be a good thing, but it won't take you long to find something that you desperately want and didn't realise you absolutely need!
Best of luck!
 
Welcome Milky! Lovely looking Bus you have there! What plans do you have in mind for it??

At the moment just keep it as it is as it has 3 seats in the back and my boys both ride bikes pedal and motorbikes it seems like a good fit. I’ve just brought some curtains for the back for the long journeys so I hope they might sleep. Just got to fit them soon.
