You do really need to remove the air box and I found it easier to loosen the battery clamp and slide the battery to the side slightly. Ridiculous design.
Got an invite down to Portsmouth to spend a day out on a Clipper Yacht with Sir Robin Knox-Johnston heading up our novice crew, so made a couple of days out of it and squeezed in a visit to Beaulieu whilst down that way. Now have new found admiration for the crews that take on the Clipper Round...
Well thats a crap outcome. Mine eventually turned up, after weeks of excuses and difficulties in contacting them and it is not a bad bed. What excuse did they give you and why can't they get another one out to you?
Excellent work @Pauly following this with interest. Just a shame you have had to experiment and be the guinea pig and VW have supplied such shabby light s and have since buried their heads in the sand.
My biggest pet hate alongside littering/rubbish dumping is morons using their phones whilst driving. Hope the van is fixed quickly, glad no one was injured and hope the police prosecute her.
No two ways about it, the rack oozes quality. But it would be very easy to forget the extra height when entering a drive through, car park, low bridge etc. Just thought it was worth throwing out there for anyone considering a rack
And after using mine for the first time last week I agree with Polzeylad about the length of the van with the rack down. I was also surprised just how high the bikes sit above the roof of the van.
Returned from a week in Norfolk staying with the old folks. Clocked up well over a thousand miles without incident but van is now covered in 2 inches of bug guts and bird poo! Luckily I managed to grab a couple of shots just outside their gate on the first night up there.
