Might be worth travelling a bit further and go to MV Engineering in Telford.

I think he means a loadbed cover, is this the cover that fits over the drop sides, a tonneau, or a full height cover such as Vindic as I have or a canvas canopy with frame?

How much oil does it take to fill? 4.5 litres of mineral* 15/40. One oil is pretty much the same as any other oil (within reason) as long as you change it regularly (4,000 miles or when the tappets tell you it's time) and check it ... that's daily if it's a new van until you know it's behaviour pat...

It's fine as far as I know...15/40 then.

Any make better than others?

What oil is recommended for a 2.1 MV?

Done a search but seem to come up with different answers, so far its either VW Platinum 5w/40 fully synthetic or 15W/40 semi synthetic, andrew page website says 10W/40 semi synthetic!!

Andrew Page site says 10w40, can't find any 15W40 on there.

Only problem is when I'm driving u can still hear the kids in the back!!

MVM stuff or Silent Coat?

Thanks jonny, would be good to hear from anyone with before and after knowledge before I commit.

I am looking to trim the interior of my Doka with MVM lining carpet and noticed they do sheets of sound deadener, has anyone got any experience of this stuff? Is it worth fitting first before the liner?

Lacquer maybe?

Whats the thought on gearboxes with this conversion?
Standard ok?

I used Satin black on mine after a quick rub down with some wet and dry, came up a treat.

Yep no problem, PM me your mobile number and I will text a photo over.
Give me a couple of days as need to dig them out of my shed.

Dangerous and illegal.

I have some very similar but not fitted them yet, the lower bracket on yours looks like it's been cut and is shorter than mine, also there should be a pair of secondary brackets that fit above the chassis rail and then bolt together. I notice you are in Worcs, I am in evesham, you are more than welc...
