Well, i'm new to all this and got a couple of things planned, just small weekend to warm up etc... then will work out what we do need, don't need etc etc... all a learning experience but I'm a more "just be out the door in 30 minutes" type of guy, the missus will over think everything... which for me in a camper, isn't my way hahaha but we shall see!
Nope, that's the thing, it looks like they have but they haven't Originally ran 225/55/17's, now running 245/40/19 the overall diametere is exactly the same at 26.7"... width increased by 7.9% and less sidewall but the overall diametere is the same so jeight remains the same. Hence why I didn't go 20's as they start to then make changes overall that I couldn't be bothered with.
Ours was £19k mate, which is a lot of money but they go for all sorts of money when converted like ours. You can pick up a normal 7 seat version i.e. the MPV from £5k upwards for solid ones... and because they're 100% galvenised, they don't rust either... there's a few on auto trader buddy! We're well happy! Can't wait to get camping which could be... from Friday 29th which would be good... for a couple of nights. Then me and a mate going for two nights upto lakes... just to kinda get a feel for what you need and don't need etc!
Depends how many sweet he has at the time
A Years supply of Wethers Originals... gets them everytime hahaha
Hahaha, yeah so did my mate when I sent it through. TBH the calipers look rough in those pictures in the flesh look a lot better and smoother... happy with them all the the breaking wow, sooo much better. However, pushing big pistons in with your bare hands... it's tough!!! hahahaLooks good.
I thought you were using that log as an axle stand at first glance
Generally people will run things until they break... the pads came up on the MOT that I asked them to perform independantly... and they were going to replace... I said just don't bother as I'll be ripping all of them out anyway, it's literally a waste of their time/money and my time... as long as it passed MOT I didn't care. If they were brand new pads and discs, I'd have still replaced with mine as I always do on all my cars. Things like this don't bother me at all. Like the alloys, not bothered as I was replacing them with my own wheels straight away.
Well, in the middle of a test, however, I filled up yesterday on way back and did 210 miles and if was half a tank left... so, it's looking good mpg considering it's a V6 and converted!
"embedded sim"? Not sure what you mean? As for the wheel, yeah I "THINK" they're refurbed, but the wood is ticker and more contoured, but the frame is pure original so I'm assuming they strip it all down and do their own, haven't a clue I'l be honest but it's spot on I know that but 100% they must take originals and re-do them, for £150 quid it's a really nice piece of kit though!
Cheers man, yeah it's always the little things... I can't help myself, it was the same with the SRT8, things like the old crappy standard steering wheel, now mines all carbon and looks factory at the same time.. I love the individual things tbh... like putting my stamp on my vehicles, can't help myself
Cruise is easy buddy as long as you have the facelift model... basically this is what you need:
Ahhh that's a shame, yeah it can cost £1k or something mental to retro fit it... shame thatCheers, mine's pre-facelift though, so no cruise for me
Ahhh right with ya no it doesn't, however, it auto connects to my wifi hotspot anyway so no need for it tbh. As soon as I get in the car, wifi and bluetooth auto connect, job done.
I'm around 25mpg right now in a mixture of driving so, it's where I expected it to be and considering it's a 3.0ltr V6 plus all the weight, yep can't complain
Not really and to be honest the only real things you need to know are, 2.4ltr is a cam chain... BUT is the only slightly notorious (in my opinion), engine Toyota did and I believe it has a little bit of oil burn... also they're only 160bhp... which for tootling around yeah all good, but as a caravan type thing I believe the 3.0ltr V6 (220bhp and cam BELT annoyingly) is the better engine as it's less stressed and obviously smooth. Other than this, now and then the electric door motors can fail but other than this they're bomb proof and also rust proof as pretty much all panels are galvanised.
I've calculated 23bhp per side... easily! hahahaThose decals will make it go faster
