So I Brought A T6
- Thread starter GilesT6
- Start date
The old wheels I would imagine they keep them. You can always ask Leighton vans what the deal is with them. The rear liner is done by them also in suede which is really nice and gives it s more car like feel.
Yes it’s from Leighton vans.
It's covered under warranty, but it took the best part of 20 days in a local VW garage to get it sorted - the replacement EGR valve ended up having a faulty temperature sensor which led to further problems. It wasn't a great start to the van.
Leighton Van's finish is really polished, internally and externally, but I can't recommend what they do with the wheel size and suspension lowering. After six months of having my spine shattered every time I go over a bump, damaged front top mounts due to driving 100 metres on a dirt track and really loud vibrations when you hit around 80mph on the motorway I've ended up forking out an additional £2k to get the lowered suspension taken out, replace it with OEM VW suspension coils, getting rid of the 20" alloys that Leighton supplied (see this thread as they're on sale) and getting smaller 18" alloys and new tyres for them. The enjoyment and comfort of the T6 has gone up infinitely after all this work.
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I just can't see how vanity can override practicality when it comes to driving the van.
