Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Re "sometimes", I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, just like I would to owners of various vehicles so as not to stereotype them.

Dont risk it NE - anything outside of training there is a high risk of bollox :-)

What's more scary than this is that now I own a T4 it is obvious that these T4 types have issues with anything newer - strange world the VW T4 owners live in :-)

We loved our T4 (ex AA) and only traded it is as it had done over 250k miles and we wanted to hit France and Italy for holidays (handy living in Dover). We decided to get rid of the T4 and the family car and I now drive the T6 daily.

We had our remap done purely for a bit more power up the hills etc, if I wanted to speed I would not have brought a T6 šŸ˜‚. It drives so much better now

250000 miles on mine , did some good miles across the UK last year but it is very much the 4th vehicle.

I still see my future being a full blown 4th vehicle camper if we go with it.

Those 1950cc lumps are easy to remap. Nice one.

Now THIS is the info I was hoping for. Engines to remap etc etc :)

And as the PoD / NE said earlier, I’m not interested in a ā€œperformanceā€ van (I’ve also got motorcycles for that) But I want a van that can perform.

Ok, dream sheet time (again). What about air suspension? From the point of being able to lie flat in your bed at night as opposed to anything cosmetic.

Thoughts? Experience?
