What Have You Bought Today?

[Spazpecker]

New defender steels x 5, cheap enough.

 

[Dave Mac]

Yea, I trust you on that.

Thing is… I have two windscreen covers which are both meant to fit the T6. Any advice on why they don’t?

I’ve attached photos of my black S+S cover and a blue UKCustomCovers version. If you look at both mirrors, you’ll see the velcro tabs stretching to attach under the mirrors. (It’s the same with mirrors folded or not.)

Has anyone else found this?

I bet they fit a T5 with the old style mirrors though, many companies think there is little or no difference but as you now know there are slight difference over all the reincarnations of the T5 & T6 models.

Night Owl coverless 10.5 tog duvet with 20% off. I’ve been looking at these for a while and think it’ll reduce the bulk of our bedding considerably. Unfortunately, they don’t come in Ravenna Blue though!

@Dave Mac is correct. Lots of companies being lazy and selling T5 stuff as T6 without checking. Most fits but the covers dont as mirrors are one of the things that changed.

Nice one. Didn’t know about the 20% discount. Just ordered the double sleeping bag with £19 saving.
Thanks.

Did @AussieMick 's thread spur you on?
That's the trouble with this Forum there's always somebody reminding you about something you could do to your van!

I agree, currently on euro car parts..... Air filter, cabin filter, wiper blades, discs, pads.....and so on.

Can someone break the Internet so my wallet gets a rest.

Yep! Especially when I saw the state of what came out of it!

Maybe the chap who didn’t gain as many bhp on his remap as he expected should check his

If you are getting the stuff delivered, have a look at carparts4less - it is a sister company of EuroParts but online only. Often cheaper for exact same part from same warehouse!

 

[ma77y]

Will do, cheers for the heads up. I usually collect as I'm 5 minutes away from Trafford Park branch but happy to have it delivered as I find driving round the Traffic Centre puts me in a foul mood due to the accumulation of bad drivers it seems to attract.

Did you get any replies to this? I just bought a S+S windscreen cover and it doesn’t fit my T6 mirrors.

I’ve been in email contact and at first they thought my van must be a T6.1 (it’s not). They say it fits plenty of T6s properly.

I don’t get it.

No replies on here, but a similar response from S&S.
It doesn't fit perfectly, or even properly, but my mate's perfectly fitting one cost £200 so I guess I'll live with it.

If they are genuine VW T6.1 ones, where did you get them from?
I tried to order some on Ebay but the German dealer wouldn't supply them to the UK & cancelled the order

 

[Pedro20001]

From Lithuania on ebay....we shall see how good they are
