Re: is anyone towing a trailer with a 1y/aef engine?
Thanks footstuck! Good to know that it can be done. I think i may have over estimated the weight of the trailer - seems its not likely to exceed 500kg even with all the gear packed into it . also, the AEF should be packing 7 more horses and 15 more torques (as they say on top gear) than the KV. look...

If so, how do you get on with it, especially interested how it handles hills and long drags on the motorways. We've come to the conclusion that camping with the van + awning isnt right for us.

Re: New Door Cards
Nice job!
I was thinking about making up some door cards and speaker pods myself and this is just the inspiration I needed!

diesel starter battery
I needed a new starter battery for my diesel van. The one I had was a little on the small size (63ah) and I wasnt sure how big I could go. Anyway, I ended up with a 110 sized 80ah 660cca banner battery from gsf for £65. Much longer than my old one but fits nice. Just wanted to post this up here in c...

Re: Which car seat for Newborn??
Not sure where you are in the country but if you can find a place like kiddicare near you then you can take the van along and they will have someone help you find some seats that'll fit - lay out all the options for you.

Re: To trail or not to trail.....?
get a high top - i can fit all that stuff on your list (and more) into mine. Plus I can stand up in the back and enjoy the view out of the side windows - v handy for keeping an eye on the kids as they run around the site like lunatics
