Took our EURO 6 T6 150 Velle to Bognor Motors for REVO Re Map + air-filter and TVS DSG Re-Map, incredible difference, loads more torque spread over a wider range and a much improved gear selection, no more forced downshifts to stop engine laboring as revs drop off going up hills, also better initial pull away and smoother shifts, why didn't it come like this from the factory, I can only assume its mapped more for emissions than driveability, one other bonus is that I averaged 39.1 mpg driving to Bognor Regis and 41.9 driving home, 180 mile round trip well pleased as I would have happily sacrificed a couple of mpg for a better driving experience. I can highly recommend Bognor Motors, they are a very professional outfit who I will definitely be using again when I can afford some suspension mods, planning on THQ V3 Headlights next with full LED, main beam and dipped beam then some B14's or ST kit, not sure which yet.

I’ve just put stance+ on my blackberry. Really pleased. Massive difference. Recommend these no problem. I’ve driven the same spec van with B14s and can’t tell the difference....

How did you build the back pocket bit? Photo of the back?

Test fit of the floor. Little bit of trimming and give it a good Hoover underneath tomorrow, before sticking down. RIB being fitted on Monday

Bits from the shed but lots of measuring!

Corrected for you.

Not today, but in the good weather yesterday.

Fitted new steering wheel.



Fitted battery isolater switch (in place of relay) and swapped tidied some wiring up. Voltmeter now wired up to a momentary switch instead of on all the time, those combined seems to of cured the parasitic drain on the leisure battery.




Powered by Guiness as the afternoon turned to evening.

Had to prep van for going away next weekend, welded and fitted kombi type bed will powdercoat if it works, fitted curtains and was about to fit RCD unit but have stored somewhere so safe I can't remember where.
Bed seems comfy

Installed this cover to my lowered handbrake today.

 

[Ayjay]

@BoroBoy. Did you lower the handbrake yourself?

 

[Paynewright]

Improvised a grab handle out of a Sparco tow strap as SWMBO complained she struggled to get into her changing room. She’s just taken up open water swimming. Bolted into the now redundant seatbelt anchor with an eyebolt (doubles up as clothes hanger!). Even managed to get one to match the curtains

Velcro’d the tailgate handle to stop walking into it…

Talking of walking into stuff.... At the weekend, I stepped off a kerb whilst loading the bus to come home from Tenby (the tailgate was open) and put the worst part of the tailgate into the top of my head. You know where I'm talking about..... that awfully pointed section of the tailgate.

Butterfly stitches needed, and a lot of emotional support for my 8 yr old daughter. Blood everywhere.

@BoroBoy. Did you lower the handbrake yourself?

@Ayjay- I didn't but I initially removed the assembly and put it back to the normal position. Then I found the leatherette gaiter online. Purchased and fitted myself, including lowering the handbrake.
Check out a video on Combe Campers website, I simply followed the instructions on their website.

I’ve done it, hurt so much I’m very aware of it every time it’s open now. Stoopid design.

Yea, I’m very conscious of the tailgate. At 6’6”, I don’t trust anything at head height.
