New Cambelt for me today... thankfully under warranty from VW - which is handy as the warranty expires in 6 days 
Also passed the All-in-one check at the same time, so signed up for that now as well, and it's still 25% off
In case it's helpful to anyone else, great service from VW South Oxford, can't fault them at all for getting me in nice and quickly (before the warranty expired) and general communication etc. was pleasingly efficient!

Did you make a contribution to the cost of the cambelt? It will be warrantied for 3 years if you didNew Cambelt for me today... thankfully under warranty from VW - which is handy as the warranty expires in 6 days

A few purchases made in the last couple of days:
After much mattress research (something I thought I’d never say), I bought a Duvalay VW Campervan 5cm Freshtec mattress topper. We tried their 2.5cm Compact Topper on our campervan’s maiden voyage and decided that an upgrade in sleeping comfort was required!
Bought one of these Ducksback cable storage bags to store the 25m electric cable in. It’s tidy, quite literally.
And finally, also after much research into camping chair reviews (what has my life become?
Is there any point as a campervan owner than you stop buying accessories for it? No, thought so.
Have neen using a Helinox Chair One for a few years now. Chair OneTell me about itI never thought camping chairs could be as expensive but reviews were universally positive so I consider it an investment to have super lightweight, compact chairs that should last years. 5 year warranty and I got each chair for £20 less than the usual price. Still a lot but hopefully worthwhile.
On the mattress topper front, the Freshtec was also highly recommended. I was actually fine with the 2.5cm compact topper from Duvalay but the boss wanted more comfort so who am I to argue
Excellent quality.
There are lots of cheap copies available but they are not the same quality.
Also have the table. The hard top version is properly sturdy and folds up very small. Table One Hard Top
Both are great by the van and also to carry down to the beach etc.
Not for the first time, it strikes me as strange that they recommend a 4 yearly change of the cambelt yet only warranty it for 3!Did you make a contribution to the cost of the cambelt? It will be warrantied for 3 years if you did
What is even stranger to me in other countries they have longer recommended cambelt change intervals
@Skyliner33. Probably best that we leave the picking of that particular scab alone here - it's well covered elsewhere!

Squeaking like a canary when it was cold. Soon disappeared when warm.
It was investigated a while ago and “fixed” but soon came back, so replaced this time.
And there’s a lot of ugly pus below the surface!!!@Skyliner33. Probably best that we leave the picking of that particular scab alone here - it's well covered elsewhere!
Still, it is a valid point regarding warranty v replacement recommendation. I’m very tempted to prod VW about that….a few snarky emails!
