Mounted an OEM T30 front spring on a Koni Special Active using a pair of widow makers. There's a surprising amount of preload in the springs. Just got to work myself up to doing the other one now...
Working with those things has been one of the most scary car jobs, ever. This is back from when I did mine, there’s enough force to make the rods bend
Squeaky bum time. Mine stayed straight, but I have to admit I was on the verge of nipping out to a garage to see if they'd build up the strut/spring assemblies for me for a few quid. How have you found the shocks?Working with those things has been one of the most scary car jobs, ever. This is back from when I did mine, there’s enough force to make the rods bend
The shocks have been great, absolutely nothing to complain about. But I changed arbs, ball joints, lower arm bushes, tie rod ends and drop links on the same go so it’s little bit difficult to say how much of the improvement was down to shocks.

Also doing all of that except the ARBs... when I get enough of a break from the kids to get the van in the air!
That's the second one done. Two eyes, two thumbs, eight fingers all still attached. I'm calling that good.
The wife or the van???
Messed up the fitting of our new side stripe slightly on the passenger side but only if you look really close. Will see how well these stand up to stone chips and washing etc before deciding to remove or refit. Love the look, don't love my attempt at fitting!
Got round to enabling Indirect TPMS on my T6.1, using this information on the forum:

Picked my van up yesterday. It's all booked in for a camper conversion but delivery times on the equipment & parts seem to be getting longer and longer. At least I get to drive it for a few weeks before it goes to the converters.
Hi, looking for a gloss rerplacement myself, would you have a link? cheers Niall
I'm looking to adding this, where did you buy the tape from?
