What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

Well the weirdest thing happened today, so I've sort of done something to mine. The dealer rang me with a deal. Basically swap my nearly year old Velle with 10k miles for an identical 19 plate with 7k miles. No money to change hands, they'll do the private plate swap etc, and here's the odd thing, £50 per month cheaper finance!!!

Mine came from VWHQ, so is the new one. They've been offered the van at a good price and VWFS have adjusted their rates. They say they win by selling another VW stock vehicle, plus signing up another finance deal. They also get my van for stock. It seem they can't get enough Velles. Why don't they just buy the new one for stock? Who knows? But I've said yes. I think I would be stupid not to, unless anyone thinks otherwise.
 
Why does that never happen to me! Yeah, i'd of done the same probably and looked at the £50 a month cheaper as compensation for what i'd paid into the original Velle to date.
One wonders if VW are going to start offering some nice deals on any old stock T6 just before the T6.1 is released, because I read @BognorMotors mentioning that no more T6 orders were being taken, and the 6.1 info would be available soon.
 
Decided the SoLows are just a tad to low so removed the lower splitter till I get them lifted next week
save ripping it off on a speed bump!

How low are you sitting, and how much room have you got to raise it with?

Not sure how low it is but the factory fitted mud flaps are about 10mm from the floor so pretty much scrape on everything so going to raise it around 20mm
 
Well.... today was blind day and they look brilliant.
My final picture of the front window blind includes my dad who did the poppers for me so you are getting the one without the poppers.
Very impressed.

We also have the door seals but they aren't attached yet as my master mechanic (my dad) has gone out walking the dog.
:giggle:
 
I’ve got about 15mm front and 20mm rear left (think it’s that way round)
After getting the tracking done at two other garages I’ve finally got a van that doesn’t pull to the left so well chuffed
 
Fitted two more windows today. Rear one a fake one.

Did the rear the other day. Just the other side to do. Unfortunately no time tomorrow though.

Filled up this morning with 10 litres of AdBlue for the 1st time @ 3910 miles

Ignition turned on and waited 30 secs for recalibration.
All is now good for a while longer
