Hello Tarzan, Welcome to the Forum.

Hi Sash, I can recommend a converter within 30 miles of you. I am delighted with my conversion, but it cost more than £2500. Depends on what you need. A pop top itself, will costs more then £2500. Send me a PM for the details.

Welcome to the Forum. Should be doable. There are ingress/egress 'handles' to the front upper of the front doors that could be used for the hammock style straps. And another set above the middle doors, or you could 'sling' around the headrests There is quite a gap between the front seats, but that should be easy enough to deal with. Good luck. Let us all know how you get on.

22.5 mpg, sounds a little low to me, but it depends on the route I suppose.

Hello Phil, What type of blinds are you referring to ? Do you mean curtains> Internal for windows, I assume; or for the front screen ? Some early Gen 1 vans have a screen across the back of the front seats. I found a company that can make internal curtains (I cannot remember which) but if you need them pleated, they will not be cheap.

Apparently the only difference, I am told, between your set and mine is the pattern of the key. The parts, I am told, are identical apart, of course, for the key pattern. Against my better judgement I will buy a 'bigger' toque wrench tomorrow and try to fit them myself. So I will be able to check for myself. The mechanic said they would not tighten correctly ! Maybe he was in too much of a hurry ! I am left hoping that the mechanic hasn't damaged anything. especially the studs. The supplier has accepted a return if I choose to go that route. One of the flat washers does not even pass over the nut ! Hopefully, I'll figure it out without too many damaged knuckles . Thanks for your help.

I bought some of these from the above mentioned company. Went to fit them yesterday, post MOT, and they don't fit properly. I have noticed the ones supplied to me are 21156SU. I am in discussions with the supplier, as they are just out of the return period !

Hello Both, Welcome to the Forum.

Good thinking Nov.

Well Done on winning the auction. Looks great. I hope it is a small crack, or a chip. They are probably repairable, without replacement. Lots of companies can do that. Replacing a screen, not so many. Good luck with the shipping and insurance.

I got an answer back which wasn't helpful. I am trying again for you. Personally, I think it is a high risk strategy. Depending on the crack, it will probably fail the MOT. You will need an MOT before you can register the vehicle in the UK. Proceed with extreme caution is my advice !

You need to check with your local garages. Most official Toyota Dealers will not work on imports. Snows in Torbay and Plymouth will. I use them myself. As Phil says, there is a lot of commonality of mechanical parts. I have the V6 too. Toyota Direct can source 'common' parts, genuine but not cheap ! Motor factors can supply oil filters air filters, oil etc. Do use genuine Toyota oil and antifreeze. I believe as these vehicles become ever popular parts will be easier to get.

I have made a request to Autoglass on your behalf. Welcome to the Forum. I will let you know their answer. My guess is, it won't be quick, and it won't be cheap ! Anyone had the misfortune to need their windscreen replaced ?

Hi Marty, Hi PaulE, Welcome to the Forum. Thanks Paul, this is really useful to know.

Don't forget to tell your insurance company what modifications you have made ! May not be important in SA, but is in the UK.

Welcome to the Forum. Thanks for reading the content. HAPPY Motoring

Sounds like a bargain; but then you are doing most of the work !

I think many members, myself included, would like to know where you got the Conversion Kit from. Good luck, keep us all posted on your progress; maybe a photo or two !

Hi Paul, Welcome to the Forum

Hi Jellybean, Thanks for the method. When finished, throw pole away, or take wife to hospital ! If I can get the correct struts, I'll get a correct mechanic, and HIS wife, to do the job for me

I just checked the part numbers for my MZ G 2006 in the EPC. They are different. I have a power door which may make a difference. I need to check more fully. So, if you have a Gen 1, as I do, proceed with caution. The Gen 2 units may not fit a Gen 1 correctly. I need some struts so will research this more thoroughly and advise.

Sorry confusing your engine with Nov ! I replied to your PM.

I just did ! Surprising result. First, thank you, Picasso, for bringing this to my attention. I was unaware of this initiative in these 'zones'. But I am even more confused now. You have a 2007, 2.4L; I have a 2006 3L. My search came back with NO CHARGE, in all of the zones ! ! ! Obviously that could (will) change. If I were you, I wouldn't believe me, so I'll send you my Registration number by PM, and you can check for yourself. Mystifying !

Not me. Before doing anything, I would ask Direct Line for a list of approved devices. Otherwise you may fit one, and they still won't insure your campervan. They are many trackers to choose from. Real time trackers, activate after theft, etc. Your car will have a immobiliser, and cannot be towed. My advice ? Depends on the value of your camper, but I would shop elsewhere. I went with Scenic, part of LV, but, my guess is the value of your van will exceed their upper limit. There is a list of Insurers on a thread in this Forum, but not all will insure conversions. Persevere, and Good luck
