    Add seats on V5 - reclassification from LCV?

    Hi. Total Transporter newby here! I’ve just agreed a purchase on a 2017 T6. It was a panel van I believe - although a detailed vehicle search says ‘van with side windows’. It’s classed as a LCV. It’s currently empty in the rear but has side windows. I plan to add a RIB bed in the rear, which...

    Court case for (not?) speeding in converted camper SCOTLAND

    Hello, I know this has been done to death but I have yet to find any information on cases in Scotland. I got caught going 62mph on a single carriage way in my converted van (less than the approx 3t unladen weigh limit). I meet the internal DVLA requirements to be a camper but NOT the external...

    Speed governor?

    Hi everyone, picked up my T6 yesterday. Decommissioned RAC van. Noticed it won’t go over 77mph so assuming there is a limiter on it? Wondered if anyone else has had the same experience? Thanks all

    Speed limits/ DVLA / Motor Caravan / Dual Purpose / N1 and all that malarkey.

    Much discussion has taken place over the years regarding the status of vans & conversions with regard to speed limits/tax/insurance etc. There's a wealth of info on the forum - particularly this thread - but it's scattered and fragmented around the forum. So I thought I'd bring it all together...

    Notice of Intended Prosecution/Speeding and the speed limits for a van

    Ok So this week I got a notice of intended prosecution for doing 68 on a dual carriageway from a police officer standing on a bridge- no signs, no van. I was in the slow lane in a row of traffic so I wasn't going nuts. My van is a full camper- pop top, sink, cooker, table, RnR bed but I did the...

    Speed Limiter

    I have a T6.1 2022 highline, previously I had a 2014 Golf the steering wheel & buttons look the same. On the Golf I pressed 2 buttons to activate the speed limit, on the T6.1 I'm pressing 4 buttons. Is it me or is there a easier way to do it.

    Motor Caravan Internal Features - Minimum install to meet speed limit requirements

    Current build is a T32 highline with full width rib bed and pop top roof - No table, or cooking facilities. Double front seat, so that should cover storage?? Are there any space efficient (and cost efficient) ways of making it qualify as a motor caravan? It would be handy to be out of the grey...

    T6.1 Deactivate speed limit warning message...?

    Hi, I've looked in the manual but can't seem to find anything relating to this... I'm trying to deactivate the warning message that pops up on the dash every time the speed limit is exceeded. Not that I do that of course ;) But if someone did, is there a way to stop that from happening? TIA

    Unsure of speed limits

    I am due to pick up my 2018 T6 today and it has been professionally fully converted from a TRANSPORTER SHUTTLE 2.0 T32 TDI to a campervan. I have been told that it is down as a Transporter shuttle on the V5 and not down as a campervan. So can you guys tell me what bracket I will be in when it...

    Tyre speed rating vs van top speed.

    Hi guys, new here and looking for some help. Ordered a SWB DSG T32 204ps, build is week 16. Looking to put KMC hole shots with BFG tyres on it. As the tyres are R rated, 106mph and the vehicle max speed is stated at 123mph, is this permissible?

    4Motion - Dual Purpose Vehicle?

    I know that this has been covered before on this forum, but I remain confused on speed restrictions that apply to 4Motion vans. From reading previous posts, it is clear that there is agreement that if a vehicle falls into the scope of "Dual Purpose" then the legal speed that it may drive...

    Would you let the van speed limit put you off buying a T32 LWB Kombi vs a Shuttle?

    Hi all. About to purchase a van, narrowed it down to a LWB T32 Kombi for £29k or a Shuttle for £26k. Same age (2019), both DSG and similar miles and spec. Kombi advantages to me would be the number of larger choice of mods, camping pods, converters, roofs etc and this particular one has a few...

    Speeding “Class of vehicle” (Kombi 2040kg)

    This may help someone else - My VW is a SWB T30 I got clocked going 62mph on the A39 in Cornwall. The ticket says EXCEEDED SPEED LIMIT CLASS OF VEHICLE! Here are the facts for those that do not know them. If your van meets certain criteria then it has the same speed limit as a normal Car. Here...

    Hi, a little help required re the V5. I have recently received my V5 from the DVLA for my T6 which was converted to a campervan by a local company.

    Vw T6 Kombi Vehicle Classification And Speed Limits

    I'm trying to work out what vehicle class a new VW T6 Kombi would fall into ... This has been discussed previously here I see (Kombi speed limit ?), but information I have found elsewhere seems as though it might contradict this. According to these links, and if I am correct, a VW Kombi could...
