B14 And Arb Fitting Recommendations In/near Mamchester.

[fezza68]

As above...anyone recommend any fitters in or near manchester?.

 

[Fish]

Vanstyle!??. Great price too..

 

[fezza68]

Yeah I've been considering vanstyle and they arent too far away...

 

[Fish]

Only thing to do is book early and be patient.

Other wise alittle travel south to midlands and you'll get sorted sooner.

 

[In a state]

Mersyspeed?

 

[fezza68]

Theres a new one...not heard of them. Il google them now.

 

[Northern Monkey]

Well if I was going down this route it would be a road trip to @BognorMotors maybe couldn’t be further away from Manchester, but at least you’d have piece of mind your pride and joy was in good hands.

had Merseyspeed fit on t32 t5 4yrs ago still going strong easy to deal with too happy customer

 

[DaveBos]

+1 for Merseyspeed

 

[fezza68]

Id love to take it to bognor motors but its just a bit too far!..

 

[Tourershine]

Maybe not in your area, but worth a drive to TransporterHQ. They have a dedicated suspension guru now, and according to the latest social media post are supply/fitting B14s for £1095

Yeah a two and a half hour drive doesnt really put put me off,have you had the arb changed as well cos some are saying you wouldnt notice too much of a difference with the t32 having a thicker roll bar anyway?.

I'm not sure who said that, but you will find the ARB is probably one of the most noticeable modifications to the handling of a T6.

I've had mine done yes, and highly recommend you do it at the same time if funds allow. You will only want it doing in the future anyway.

 

[fezza68]

At the minute driving a standard t32 is awful,its like it has a sail on its roof!. I've not drove another t32 with the arb done so i wont know what the difference feels like. But the plan is to get them both done at the same time.

Midland vw in Cannock if willing to travel south an hour or so. Always top service.

You won't regret the investment.
It's funny you mention how yours drives now. @T6180 has just popped round in his T6 with B14s/ARBs. He's been running a normal standard load T6 whilst he had some work done to his, and he actually commented on how he thought the standard set-up in the loan van was going to blow over in the wind.

 

[T6180]

@fezza68 where in Manchester are you? I'm in Salford most weeks so if you fancy meeting up one night I'll take you for spin in mine it will give you some idea of how it will feel

 

[andys]

When I first picked mine up the first roundabout scared the crap out of me, the wheels were in the left lane and my head and shoulders were in the right. I don't remember the standard T5 handling being so bad, but my memory's not what it was.

 

[T6180]

The loan vehicle I've just had I could of got my head between the wheel and arch....not only that every time I got in the thing I tripped on the door sill...nearly kissed the steering wheel on one occasion

It was ok to drive but every time I over took a lorry on the motorway I had to hold on for grim death to stop it swaying about
