But i guess most of this interior is applicable to you guys......I kinda owe a dept to this forum and the electrickery implications i've stumbled into here.......... it's also probably the slowest of slow builds and I'm silly time pressed so you'll have to bare with me a tad. We are country...

Can anyone recommend a one man brake bleeding kit and if there is a sequence to bleeding brakes on a T6 T32? Looking to remove my brake calipers one by one to coat them hence the questions. Cheers all.

Reading the posts on curtains for Caravelles. I was considering making my own system. This looked promising INAVIS Ceiling Curtain Track https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09L7RHGBY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1YMC2AF17TWKM2GGCMMQ?psc=1 Anyone made their own? Any words of wisdom?

Just wondered if there was any advice / VW schedule for maintaining the sliding door(s)? I guess keeping roller bearings and latches well lubricated and checking slider mechanism fixings for tightness are the things that spring to mind. Anything else to consider? There have been a few threads...

It is one year ago today (at day of post) that I purchased a 2017 Kombi to convert. I still have to finish the door to the rear cupboard and a other few bits and bobs but thought that it is near enough finished to post a few pictures. When I was planning my conversion I was desperate for ideas...

Have put a few posts up regarding the van furniture i have been designing. Well its now coming together in reality!! This is in my T6 LWB. Still got the read doors and top to put on and the control panel to cut in but i am beyond stoked with the quality i have been able to achieve.

Does anybody have any experience of doing a ceramic coating at home and if so which products actually work? It’s not actually for the van which is too far gone to make it worthwhile. I am buying a road bike which just has a clear gloss finish over raw carbon, and apparently it is really...

I had a go at installing the travelinlite 3 colour led footwell courtesy lights today as ambient lighting instead so connected to the illumination dial. I wasn’t keen on using the posi taps supplied with the kit or splicing and wanted to try and keep it as oem as possible and removable without...

Hi, can anyone recommend a diy pop top kit for a SWB T6 ? Or if not a tried and tested installer. Also what are the feelings regarding high top roofs pros and cons over pop tops. cheers, Pete.

SWMBO’s Octavia just been in for service and brake fluid - basically oil/filter change and check lots of things - £310 :eek: What is everyones thoughts on DIY servicing? Considering many of us rip stuff out, fit other stuff in and generally modify wherever possible! I’m the sort of person who...

Can I, a DIY hater/idiot fit a front splitter to my T6.1 ( if it ever arrives ) without jacking up the van?

Hi everyone. I'm going to take on the challenge of making some units for the t6. I can't get my head around the cost of pre made. Anyway, I've had a look at birch ply and it seems there are a few different grades which determines the quality (and of course the price!). I'm thinking to just...

Just finishing this, Really pleased how it works out. Enough space for several tops of battery and the other electrical gubbins fits in the front section.

Hi all, I'm curious to know how much £ you can save by doing it yourself if you feel competent with these sorts of diy. Any info welcomed. As always, thanks. James

HI, Everyone. So I decided to try and fit a pop top to my VW T6 myself. Instead of buying a full kit, I was able to find a lid, tent, gas struts, and hinges. But in order to install it I need to source strengthing bars and also the trim which finishes the job and holds the pop-top bed in place...

I've made a slot together plywood bed so I can sleep in my kombi. I can set it up as a single bed (70cm or 80cm by 200cm) or a king size bed (150cm x 200cm) - long bed because I'm 6'3 When I'm with the kids it's a bit of a squeeze, three of us can sleep on the bed with mats and sleeping bags...

I’ve finally finished laminating the last bits of ply to extend the rear platform into a bed/ loading area. I use the van for work and camping so wanted the fit out to be versatile and the platform load bearing though I do think I over engineered this a bit. The drawer is fantastic.

In the heat of Tuesday, I finally grabbed the adhesive and carpet and went for it. 2 stone lighter at the end of the day, but a result. I then did the other side with the sliding door on Thursday. I found that side more difficult, but it’s not that hard folks - have a go !

Long time lurker but I have finally taken the plunge and got myself a T6 LWB from Salop Vans. They were great, very flexible and worked with me on what I wanted. I could not recommend them enough. Van is now a perfect base for what I want. Externally complete and internally very clean ready for...

after purchasing my t6, top of the bucket list was a pair of comfy heated captains seats ready for conversion to a camper.my mate put me on to a guy who imports caravelle seats from Germany,so once installed the drivers seat was formally a passengers seat.so these are seats that I purchased.....
