SOLD

Firetec system bought here on group buy, still boxed and arrived after van was sold. Foam filled with ChafeGuard and red LED switch (need to buy and then run the wire and the LED to the dash - switch is in extinguisher) £165 - prefer collection only but have original box with the warning...

I have a brand new Firetec still boxed and never fitted (ChafeGaurd, Foam and Switch). Bought in the group buy but it arrived after I sold my van, after £165 to break even. Matt

I had an original and the length of the bars was a pain, trying to fit it when it is raining outside, went bluebird in the end. If you have the fittings for the original then I would get one, if not then go bluebird. Matt.

...or at least something with dents. I installed a tracker on PAYG SIM. Park up, text it to arm it then go enjoy yourself. Anyone tries to unplug it or move your van and it texts you back with a link to google maps. One time cost and peace of mind. It is worth getting a switch for the fuel...

Same here, I ran mine off the dynamo for about 6 months then went alternator (for no particular reason) without issue. The only problem I have had is I cooked the leisure battery when I left the charger attached on 'supply' mode this summer.

I put one seat in the front, one in the rear on the 3-point side and the wife in the back with the lap belt :-) I did have retractable belts but have since got rid and now have the non-retracting Wolfsburg ones. I find them much easier to get seats in and out with.

funds paypal'd cheers for stepping up and sorting this out... Matt

bargain! I have been trying to work out if I can build one, just haven't found the right sized baking tray but for 38 notes... well done... I would get some inflatable wheels though.

anything that has patina but if you have to start with a fresh coat then got to say neptune blue, very cool colour and since it is the original it is a no-brainer. do it... blue!
