It wasn’t too bad in the summer, you could pretend the dry mud was sand lol

Yes I definitely will get the rest of the underside checked Si . I really enjoyed Bournemouth, the beach is fantastic. We have plenty of beaches in south devon, but not as good as Bournemouth. Still lovely though, when I was a kid we had to travel for 2 or 3 hours to get to a beach . I was happy swimming in the Thames though lol !.

Yeah the old T4 is a good van Si . I’ve had it for 9 years and it hasn’t had an awful lot done to it in that time . I would love a nice new T6, the T4 is hard work to drive at times , very slow , but being a plasterer it would just get messed up. I had the some major work done on the car. The roof line at the windscreen edge was cut out ,both rear quarter edges under the windows, the boot lid (the usual spot ). Up and around the boot as well and some other bits . It was a lot of labour. When it goes in I’m going to get them to do any works needed to the underside as well, have a good poke around and make sure there is nothing else . My mate has just moved to Bournemouth, I went to visit him this year, nice place to be . Rob

Hi Si . Yes agreed rust is going to be an issue. I spent 3k a couple of years back having issues sorted. With regards to the T4 yes a check wouldn’t do any harm at all . It did go straight through last year and one of the best things about the T4 is they were galvanised , so rusting is a low risk.

Some updates . none good though . First of all we went on holiday a few weeks back . So the car was cleaned and i put the cover on it . I took the cover off when we got back only to find a cat has sat on the bonnet and done that stupid needing thing they do with their paws , the middle of the bonnet is covered in scratches , a bloke who was in the MOT centre today was admiring the car , he said the same thing to the MOT tester , its definately cat scratches . Fortunately they should polish out . On to the next grumble . She failed the MOT today because of rust on the rear sill . I knew the lip was going and have been talking to Dave at Resto shack to have it sorted . It was only when the tester started digging that the extent of the worm was revealed ,its quite a large hole in the sill . I guess thats me off the road for a while now till i can get the car booked in . My T4 has to come first as it's a work van , the MOT is in november and if there is anything major on that and ive done me dough on the car I'm in trouble .In 12 years of ownership the car has always passed with only advisorys on rear wheel bearings which just need tightning . Its had a couple of failures but only silly things . I will up date more when the car goes in .

Welcome along .

Welcome along Ben .

I wasn’t far out then .

This is the product I bought Martin. I fitted the closed cell stuff , then put the deluxe underlay in , then the new carpet from newton commercial. I then found out the seats would not slide . The new carpet is thicker than Oem . I had to remove one layer of the underlay.

I would say between 8mm and 12 mm at a guess Hasan . You could ring Heritage, that’s where I purchased mine from . Sorry I can’t be exact mate .It may be thinner, I’m not sure .

Welcome along chap .

Yeah , good news Si . Before Tapatalk it was a faf . I had to down load pics from my phone onto my Mac. Then copy n paste them .

Not having Tapatalk is a pain in the arris . It was so easy .

Yep , liking these .

I Will be purchasing one next month.

I’m happy to pay .Ive always donated anyway. This forum has to stay alive .

Well let’s keep it marching on. It’s a great forum . We do need an easy way of posting pics though .

Great news , thanks for sorting it out .

Tried to reply with a quote . Thanks sprinter .

No problem Hasan .

I’m not 100% Hasan , but I’ve got some sunroof parts in the man cave . I will check this evening. If I have the sliders I will send them to you . Kind regards Rob

I’m interested in one please uk spec . I can’t see the price as the first page is a muddle of letters and numbers.

The forum is a bit umpty at the moment. A lot of us are experiencing problems. Hopefully it will get sorted.

Another vote for MK4 callipers. I bought my cables from VW Heritage.

Good news on the new purchase Chris . That must have been a bummer to make the decision to let MK1 go . I haven’t had one myself but I know people that have one or have had one , great cars . Good luck with the new purchase.
