Hey guys So I've had the van for 2 months now and have prepped as below. Removed bulkhead Fitted front/rear dash cam (still not workin quite right) Fitted wind deflectors Removed the cargo racking Fitted ghost Replaced light bulbs (still getting a fault though) New nr side front damper New...

Hi, Im Dan, I introduced myself on the new inductions section. I recently part ex'd my 69 indium grey caddy for a ravena blue dsg single cab t6.1. So far, really enjoy the driving position and additional features that come on the highline model, compared to that of the caddy one. Not done much...

Hey peeps, Following on from my intro thread, I thought I’d put up some posts of how our T6 is progressing; so far she’s called ‘Baylee’ as the accent colour will be ‘Bayleaf Green’ (trims, gaitor, curtains, plus others as the van refit progresses. We’ve replaced the centre-console for a new...

Hi everyone, Been lurking for a couple of weeks having just bought my first transporter. So much amazing info here. I’ve gone with a black 6.1 high line panel which I’m going to convert in to a camper over the next yr or so. Not sure where I’m heading yet but my side windows and new jigsaw...

Howdo everyone, as title says my Copart T6 arrived late last night. Too late to have a proper mooch round it but just had a good look and it’s not too bad. Needs a new bonnet, front bumper and possibly a rad as it’s not holding water. Back doors don’t open and they are quite heavily dented at...

Now then I’ve lurked for a while as Facebook groups have generally taken over forum activity, but thought I’d start a thread on the van, as I expect it will go through some small, continued transformations…. We bought our 2016 SWB Highline Kombi in March last year when then littlest one came...

What’s up everyone. Im Johnny from Lancaster, I’ve had my T6 for just over a year, here’s the journey. 2016 SWB T28 Startline, 102bhp, candy white, 110,000 miles Found the van on eBay in Feb 2023 over in the North East, about 2 hours away from where I live Went to visit & test drive, no red...

After the best part of 10 years saving up, we finally bought our T6 just 2 days before Xmas. The perfect spec. with loads of extras we didn't know we wanted but are now glad we have, now fully converted by Van & Bus in Bollington/Macclesfield. I will be writing a full post for the Review a...

So after months of searching I finally managed to find a van in the right spec and colour. I’ve just picked up a lovely 150 highline T6 kombi and the plan is a very slow camper conversion. Spec wise I’m pretty happy being twin captain seats and a comfort dash from the factory so it’s just...

Hi All, I thought I'd post a project thread of my 1st Camper, if individual posts are not allowed, please remove. I bought this last week, after months of searching. Originally, I wanted a tailgate model, but I had to think realistically and let some of my options go. Here she was when I got...

I've posted a few times before and read a huge amount of helpful stuff on here - thank you all! I thought it might be worth me setting up a thread for my build because I keep forgetting what I've posted or not. I'm converting a 2017 sub T6 - my first time and I'm trying to do much of the work...

Hi all, When we started our build we found some super useful pages relating to bits we were considering, so thought we'd contribute with our own pictures and lessons learned- in case anyone is thinking of doing their van a similar way. To aid anyone searching for their own build purposes, full...

Evening, I've been lurking for a while now gaining info and tips so thought id share my progress so far. I bought my 21 plate T6.1 3 weeks ago, I've had caddy for years which I loved but sadly as the family has grown so has the need for space, this is my daily work horse doubled up as a kids...

Thought I would share a few pics of my ex RAC van and the changes I’ve made so far.

Well in eager anticipation of delivery of my T6.1 (build week having been confirmed as this week!! I thought I'd start my 'build' thread here and show some pics when it comes and keep a track of what I intend to do to it! This thread kind of takes up where this one finishes:-...

Hi all, I have found the forum super useful in getting information together for my build and deciding what I want. I figured I could document what I end up doing in case anyone wishes to do similar. I decided to write the thread in retrospect so the first few posts are back to back. I've...

Hello to everyone, I have been watching the forum a lot over the last half a year to which i finally made an account a couple of months back. I've now paid for the membership as i believe the information on here alone is worth tenfold that. I just want to start by saying what an amazing team...

Thought I'd document my attempted self build of an ex AA van Purchase Price £14,000 Target total spend £24,000 Delivery day First up was to remove all the ply lining and the bulkhead Obscene amount of screws/clips/bolts Once all that was removed, it was time to tackle the wiring...

Hi all, Just got myself Ascot Grey 2023 T6.1 150bhp DSG Highline last week and absolutely love it! Had a mk4 150bhp highline Caddy previously and unfortunately it was getting too small with work requirements as I am self employed handy man here in Ireland. Took about 3 months to get her built...
