When were they last bled through? Might be worth bleeding them to make sure there’s no air in the system.

Bronson has grease ports too.

Give these guys a go. Well regarded on the t5 forum.

Closest agent in the link to you is Portsmouth.

Not sure what age your van is but the earlier t5s (up to 2010) with the 1.9 should see around 140bhp. I think they get a bit more out of the newer t5.1s (2010 onwards).

Camelbak Mule NV for me. Had it for about a year now, great pack plenty of space for an all day ride and light enough not to be a hindrance.

Option 3 for me every time.

Whenever I look at full builds there’s always stuff I’d want to change straight away.

Really sorry to hear this. Hope everything works out for the best.

Just given my Labrador a load of fuss. Makes you realise/remember how fragile these animals can be. :(

I thought it had only just come in for pupils now in year 11 :/

My daughter is in this boat (started year 11 in September). The letter stated full time college course, an apprenticeship or a combination of part time course and volunteer work.

I’ll see if I can find it but I have a feeling the wife has filed it under B.

Hope pro 2s or pro 2 evos are a doddle to change.

Have you looked at Puremountains, chat to them regularly through twitter, seem a great bunch with nice facilities. I’m hoping to get over there at some point.

Been running 2.2 MK for about a year.. Normal folders first which were ok.. Now running 2.2 protections and they’re awesome.

Could of gone for 2.4s but for my mix of commuting and off road the
2.2s are great.

No problem. Not like I’m driving it around, it’s currently sat in a local garage/workshop having some interior bits done.

Class of MOT will depend on the van you end up.

Think it’s something to do with payload or all up weight between classes. My T5 is a standard class 4 MOT same as any other car.

Bland – it is indeed, SORN for now whilst I have some work done to it.

Mines got garish bumpers, spoiler, alloys and lowered.. But I don’t care I love it :)

the drawback of a crafter is the height when going places.

No hope of a multi storey car park visit.

Length of a swb crafter is nigh on identical to a LWB T5 transporter so no major issue there.

I’ve got a swb t5. It’s my first van and I’ve got no intention of changing it until it’s in a total state of disrepair. Nice to drive, cheap to run, reasonable economy looks pretty good for a van too IMHO.

Received mine just now.

Really bright compared to my old Cree T6 light even without a properly charged battery, left it to drain now re-charging to full ready for a proper test :)

Once you’ve polished it’s bet to add a good coat of wax. It will deepen the shine and will go along way protect the finish you’ve achieved.

Very disappointing. Was at least hoping for some sort of challenge/race between an E-bike and peaty.

Thanks for that. Chucked it on record :)

I have a 16 year old step daughter.

Storm in a teacup springs to mind. She can be good as gold but the slightest off thing and it’s like I’ve arranged to have all of her friends and belongings destroyed in front of her.

Think it’s all gone from here now (Somerset), finished around 5:30ish.

Just a bit of rain and wind we’re reasonably well sheltered so nothing worse than a few knocked over wheelie bins here. No doubt there’s a rotten tree or two down though.

I’ve had one for the last week too, still not great.

Doctor has told me to spit into a tissue if possible as it’s your body getting the infection out. And what you cough up is the mucus that is causing the chest infection.

Impressive riding.

Note at about 1:18 the dog that has to be avoided!

Answer pro taper expert AM 720 on mine, low rise and a nice sweep.

Although next bike is getting fatbar lites :)

I’ve got an endura convert with the removable sleeves.

Works pretty well up until the weather gets really bad then the gaps where the sleeves join can let a little water in. Ideal for spring, summer and most of autumn in the UK though :)

Nice edit and some good riding skills. Way quicker than I’d of been going for my first time there.

Very nice looking van at a great price too. If you haven’t already join the t5 forum there is lots of information and handy if you do get any issues or questions (chances are it’s been covered on there).

I’ve got an older t5 (2004) and wouldn’t be without it really easy to live with.

On a t5 the load rating is denoted by the t26, t28, t30 or t32. Each one relates to the gross vehicle weight.
T26 = 2600kg
T28 = 2800kg
T30 = 3000kg
T32 = 3200kg.

Most common are t28 and t30s. All bar the t32 share the same chassis setup just with different spring rates to allow for more payload. T32s have a completely different front suspension setup.

Brilliant video. I shared on twitter earlier this morning.

Clutch rear mechs?

What about more of a touring mtb shoe?

May help to fend off the cold.

Cheap here too.

Thanks Spockrider :)

He’s managed to get hold of some CCTV.

Sounds like a great ride :)

Personally I’d be looking at a 2000-2005 passat estate.

Reliable pd engines go well and economical. Plenty of space and comfortable.

My son has the apache a quad bike and a couple of soldiers. Had them for a couple of years now and despite his and his year younger brothers efforts it’s all still intact and working as intended. Brilliant stuff.

Takisawa2 – I used my fitness pal to keep track of my calories and just kept riding when I could.

In fairness prior to this year I was very lazy and had a really bad diet so it’s a big step change which meant the first 2stone came off very easily. After that just a steady plod of 1800calories a day and riding when I can :)

Thanks Lester :)

I had an agreement with my wife that when I reached my goal weight I could buy a dream FS to go alongside my hardtail.

Since the new year I’ve been working hard to save money for it and also to eat healthily and get the miles in on the bike.

I’ve lost just over 4.5stone in the last 10months and I’m now lighter than I’ve been for over a decade so I’ve put my name down for the next batch of bronson C frames to come in (couple of weeks away now).

My skills aren’t amazing but the bike is my reward to me for my efforts and I will concentrate on skills more than fitness from here on. I don’t ever expect to be an amazing rider but I enjoy it so b**ls to what anyone else thinks :)

Pictures of said German penis extension to make a judgement please :)

No doubt in my mind you did the right thing though.

Nice video :)

Looks like a fun place, seen pics in magazines but never ventured there.. Another venue to add to the list :)

I’m currently pricing up a 650b build.

What have the rims worked out at cost wise including shipping?
