Blimey, that flies !!

[sidepod]

Finally collected the new wheels.

What a difference between the new one (2003 Tdi 150) and the old one (2.4D).
It flies!! So smooth and quiet. Hard to believe it's based on the same van.

I just set cruise and giggled all the way down the M6.

Roll on Spring.

You must have doubled your power to weight ratio?? Do share some photos so the T5/6 gang can see where their vans came from (rather than wondering what we are doing here ).

 

[sidepod]

Ha ha indeed. In my op, the very last T4s were way better than the early t5's.

Photos once I've valeted and detailed.

It's off to my man next week for a good going over etc.

Actually, I never new they had the heat exchanger underneath to feed the rear with warm air plus the heat controls above the fridge. Well bling.

Lovely van and a nice colour.

I had a T4 lwb van for eight years. What a great vehicle it was and it never missed a beat. Happy adventures.

Sourced here in Blighty. I was stalking several in Germanyshire and then this one appeared. Result.

Hi all, I presume the Bi Zenons are a great upgrade to the standard lights. I have never drove a car with them so I don't know what to expect.
Is this an easy conversion? I presume its an expensive one!!!

I've only used it once in the dark so far but yes, a massive step fwd over stock.

I didn't fit them and I've not had chance to poke around inside.

I'll post details when I do.

Fabulous - love the colour!

Sounds good so far. yea it would be interesting to know what is involved in the conversion, could be a great upgrade for Cali owners.
