Hello Jamie, Welcome to the Forum.

Hello Greg. Is your van a Gen 1 or a Gen 1 facelift ? Either way try the TfL website. (Transport for London).

Hello Paul, Welcome to the Forum. Insurance is such a personal thing. However, there is thread covering this topic, but not the groupings. You will probably find that quotes vary quite wildly; and it is an ever changing market. Regarding a quote for you, there should not be much difference between these two engines. Get an AA or RAC report on the van before making any financial commitments (if you have not bought already).

Hi Pcous, I tried the link; I try all links. Their website would not take my registration number. I tried to enter my details manually and was offered a 2002 screen; and only a 2002 screen ! Could be the same; but then if I had a Gen 2 or Gen 3, are they the same ? Not impressed really. Autoglass, so far, have been wonderful.

Thanks Chris, I don't need the info, but other members will. A sincere Thank You for all your valuable contributions to this (unofficial) knowledge base

Hello Lee, Welcome to the Forum. We all hope it goes well for you, and that soon you will be able to recommend JVS to other members.

Hi Lee, Who fitted the new windscreen ?

Hello Sam, Welcome to the Forum. Try Northstar Cowes, IOW.

Hi Chris, FYI. This first file did no load for me, on my PC running Win 10

Hello Tim, Welcome to the Forum. Sorry, do you mean middle or rear ? My comment refers to middle seats. But if you do ... Only four bolts secure the seat to the seat rails. Be careful removing the blanking plates

I spoke too soon ! I have a large crack. Courtesy of a lorry on the M5. I will update members when the process is completed. I believe my Insurance will cover it. I do hope so, as the quote I received was EYE WATERING. Supply and fit; but way, way, way more than the reported by Lee above.

Just a small point. Generally speaking. Chains don't last forever, despite some Toyota engines doing so. Chain tensioners tend to have a shorter life than chains and engines. I need to research whether the 2.4 litre engine is a non interference design.

As Kay says. Northstar certainly do for the non Hybrid. So it would not surprise me that they can relocate the necessary obstructions to enable one to be fitted. However, they will not sell you the seat. They will only supply and fit. Quite reasonable, imho, considering the safety issues. Northstar are a very good company, but they are not cheap !

Hello Kay, Welcome to the Forum.

Chris.ac posted a very useful thread on this topic. I suggest you search through all his postings (there are a lot) to find it.

beanbean280r on eBay. Cannot find his 'name' on the forum, sorry.

FYI This movie fails to download to my PC running Win 10.

A better photo would help. Looks like overheating warning lamp.

Hi Matt, Ben only does this work part time; he already has a full time job. He is difficult to contact, and rather busy His mobile number is on this site somewhere. I'll have quick look, but can't spend ages on it. Try and contact him through YouTube or ebay. I'll try and find his 'monica' for ebay and this forum. Hopefully, one of the many members that have used him will add his mobile to this post; or send it to you via a PM.

Make sure you tell your Insurance company about the modifications !

Hello Matthew, Welcome to the Forum. A popular topic this ! You ought to get several recommendations. Try searching in the search box on your home page for radio replacement or similar. Ben Hau, in Birmingham, seems to be the go to guy.

Hello Roger, Welcome to the Forum.

I suggest you buy the JPNZ manual from eBay. The section may help, may not; but the manual with worth having anyway.

Hello Adrian, Welcome to the Forum. Lots and lots to read on here !

We sleep our heads at the drivers end. We have a PC / TV on the kitchen worktop when parked up in the evenings. We have small mattresses that fold and fit under the table when en route. We use our day cushions to even out the dip. It's OK, but I have seen a stowable frame that fits on the seats and levels the bed out. I may get one but am worried about stretching the leather with the concentrated weight load. I also considered the type of cushions you seem to be referring to; wedged shaped for hospitals. I normally drive with the rear curtains closed, so i would store the wedges on the kitchen worktop.. Food for thought.
