    Bilstein B14 rear springs snapped.....Again!!

    Will be keen to know if that translates to the E-transit customs as they are close to 50/50 weight distribution unloaded.

    Bilstein B14 rear springs snapped.....Again!!

    New van is the MRST Transit EV. As soon as coilovers are developed for it I'll slam it. I'd go with B14 again, i like the ride. It's superb just unreliable. However if I was to keep the T6 (I won't, hate the thing) I'd go with the Bilstein CUMforts.

    Bilstein B14 rear springs snapped.....Again!!

    Thought I'd weight in on this. My T6 now has 112000miles on it. I had Bilstein B14 fitted when the van had delivery miles on it. In those miles I have had new shocks all around at some point from them leaking. Both front springs have snapped and been replaced. Now the rears....well I'm...

    VW closes T6.1 order book today (3/3/23) !!!! - T7 Next? or T8?

    I've ordered the EV transit MSRT. Fed up of waiting for a faster ID buzz cargo if ever there would be one. Plus I like the big ghay wing and muchos power the msrt has. I can't see the phev been any good. Underpowered petrol on an atkinsons cycle and all ran through a CVT gearbox. I hate CVTs...

    [Resolved] Start stop error/alternator charge issue ongoing

    Thought I'd update this. After much fault finding we found the issue. It was a break in the Linbus wire from battery negative module to the alternator. The whole wire looked perfect, but after testing continuity every few mm across the wire we eventually found where it had smapped. Right bang...

    VW closes T6.1 order book today (3/3/23) !!!! - T7 Next? or T8?

    I'll be moving to the Transit. Hopefully put my order in for the full electric sport ASAP as order books open shortly. The Transit will be cheaper. 19" optional wheels cost £720 from Ford on the sport model. The same upgrade wheels are €2700 on the german configuration. Crazy price difference...

    VW closes T6.1 order book today (3/3/23) !!!! - T7 Next? or T8?

    The new/Current Caddy is on the VW MQB platform. The brand new Transit connect is built on the VW MQB platform and is a VW at heart in a Ford frock.

    [Resolved] Start stop error/alternator charge issue ongoing

    Will get screen shots early next year when back at the garage if they have one. I can load up the system at first start idle, like heated screen and my amps and the battery light comes on after a minute or so. I have to blup the throttle to initiate charge. Idling/charging after the start up...

    [Resolved] Start stop error/alternator charge issue ongoing

    I've been chasing my tail with this issue for over a year now. Literally spent a couple of thousand trying to sort it and it still won't fix the issue. The garage I use are at a loss too. I have a start stop error on the dash. Also, if I start the van and let it idle, it won't charge the...

    Is this the T8 in Ford (dis)guise ??

    I can't wait for it. Transit is great looking, better than the camo T7 thats been teased but I'll be bodykitting either out. Come on ABT and MS-RT sort it out. I'm going for the 217bhp e Transit custom sport but waiting to see what the 282bhp Transporter is like and depends on wait times. I...

    H&R rear roll bar bushes

    I'll call on Wednesday, H&R responded and gave me to the part number for eurocarparts but euro cannot comprehend anything. These roll bars have been in my van 7 years now so doubt warranty will do anything. As it happens my vans water pump failed whilst having it's service on the ramps. This is...

    H&R rear roll bar bushes

    Does anyone know the size or part numbers of the 30mm bushes on the rear H&R roll bar. My brackets bolt snapped, came loose, the bush has fallen out and is lost. It looks like I have to buy a complete roll bar kit just to replace the bush. H&R have yet to get back to me and no Transporter...

    I'd be going 20x10 et25 most likely, a good 47.7mm more poke that 19s or 20x10.5 et38 (39.1 poke) But again, no Buzz to measure and depends on how much camber is induced when lowered and how adjustable camber is (if any.) I would be nice to see someone with a cargo load it up with weight and...

    Massively helpful. Thanks. Now I'll just have to measure tyre to arch distance and get the right look. Will likely end up going for the BBS CI-R. They will be load rated enough for my weights that I carry but not for max weight, unless I find another decent wheel that I like.

    What OEM wheel size was that for? 18s 19s or 20s. My t6 uses 20x9.5 et40 all round The 5x112 options are limited. Fronts would be 20x9 et25 or 38 and rears 20x10.5 et35 on stock tyres. This is all without actually measuring and for the flush but no rubbing look. I like the concave but not...

    I replied on Facebook but do you know if they are active suspension? When I test drove the cargo the sport, comfort etc made no difference to the ride. Just wondering if it's active and if coilovers are active. Assuming H&R. I want to put BBS CI-R on mine like my T6 but not quite load rated high...

    Over 200miles of range isn't enough? 100 miles a day is enough and charge at night at home. Even loaded they will do over 200.
