Hi I'm Will from the UK. Follow me as I build & modify Vans whilst creating videos about the trips I take in the vans.
I don't really specialise in any manufacture of van, neither am I professionally trained, just a regular guy winging it as I go along adding my own personal touch. I've just completed a build on a VW caddy maxi and am now looking to the next project.
I hope my content brings a smile to your face and maybe inspires you to get on the conversions yourself. Please consider subscribing to help support the channel!

Great video I have just ordered mine, what size self tapping screw did you use?
Thanks! They are great, I think it was probably a 3mm screw and quite short in length maybe 10-15mm.
@@willsvanadventures amazing thanks 👍
Hey do you remember What the rear dropout size is?
Umm I'm don't I'm sorry was a few years ago now haha
Anyone know what resistance the 2.0tdi injector should have
Mine just went on AP68 in Spain, having all 4 done 3000€, 4 extra nights in hotel , paid by insurance
That's annoying but great to hear the insurance is covering everything!
2 many adds unfortunately
Don't think I mention one add?
Did you have to use porno music???
Good tutorial. The stands look like car ones not heavy duty ones. Lucky you aren't under it!
Yeah I agree, I was told by Halfords that they we're good enough to hold my van. Wouldn't trust them again...
@@willsvanadventures glad you weren't injured. I generally use machine mart for tools - smaller business and generally good value too.
@@jrewillis yh same haha ok ideal thanks, I'll check them out when I next need something!
1.50 😂😂😂😂😂
?
Where did you get it from?
Vanpimps
I'm shortly buying a VW Caddy Life and will do a simple conversion like this (I mean, you did it properly), for anyone watching who's thinking of getting a small van like this, to convert into a camper, the Caddy is a good choice, there's also a Peugot Partner tepee, A Fiat Doblo or a Ford Tourneo Courier, and others.. a slightly larger but good, reliable van would be something like a Nissan NV200...You can get it with windows all around like the other cars mentioned too... Peace...
That's awesome to hear! Thanks for the tips as well! Hope the conversion goes well. Have you found a van?
what size of piece of wood did you use ie thickness - the one i bought i a bit thinner does it matter?
Hi, I can't remember sorry, but it's doesn't matter, as long as it's wide enough for the curtain rail and fixing into the van it'll be ok. 🙂
@@willsvanadventures thanks for your reply got the wood up now just doing the rail.
I find leaking injector 4 ..on top..like 10/15 ml..per month..vlean it and again..but the car drives ok..1.6tdi vw .. Advice? Pls
I don't know sorry, have you found a solution?
I find leaking injector 4 ..on top..like 10/15 ml..per month..vlean it and again..but the car drives ok..1.6tdi vw
Nice to see you back with something new mate! Are these also waterproof so you can pretty much leave them on all the time?
Thanks! Taken a while to get things sorted but getting there and finding the time! Yeah exactly, can leave them on. Think just every few months it's a good idea to take it off and clean the bonnet.
@@willsvanadventures I will look forward to some more videos from you hopefully then mate! Glad to see you still have the caddy too! Would love to see some vlogs of your trips in it or something. And ok mate thanks for that!
Love it 🙌🙌
Thanks!
"Promo SM" 🤔
Hi Will, great job. Small Q, did you need to pre-drill any holes for this? Ta
Thanks! Sorry I Missed this, yeah I did on all bits before screwing.n
Marvelous, thank you so much man
No worries, glad it helped!
400-700 for a injector? is it better to get a used injector?
Yeah it is with fitting, I'm not sure but I'd like to think a new one is better. Or get AA parts and garage cover.
❤
Thank you! Are you doing a conversion?
Can you put me in touch with this Chris ?
Yeah sure, here is his fb page, facebook.com/bellmansautoelectronics
Are you struggling to get yours off as well?
And wearing flip flops, fsk mate are you crazy!?!?
Ahhaa
Its silica tablets isnt it
Yeah it is
hey, this is really useful, thanks! just wondering whether you guys put the recycled bottle plastic on the ceiling as well? or just sound deadening and thermowrap. Thanks!
Glad it helped! I didn't on that van but I would normally. I'd sound deaden it first and then insulated it and thermawrap it. 🙂
@@willsvanadventuresbrilliant, thanks! and did you fill the sliding door dips with recycled bottle plastic too (like in the back panels) or just thermoerap them?
I went to ask. Is your car in reverse for you to put your finger on it. Or is it when it’s neutral
It's in reverse 🙂
Does the gas pedal still stay in place?
Yeah it did for me
Hey Will, I’ve just bought this curtain and need to get a piece of wood to attach the pole. Do you remember what wood you used; is it a 2x1?
Hi, yeah so you'll need somewhere to attached the rail to. I went for some wood, put into the old bulk head holes. I believe it was 2x1 yeah.
@@willsvanadventuresthank you!
@@willsvanadventures i should have looked at this comment
Nice mate, I've recently been looking at buying set of alloys for mine but this looks a decent alternative 🍻
Yeah deffo a lot cheaper!
Just bought one of these for my t25 conversion thank you ! As you made up my mind lol
No worries, I'm glad it helped! How's the conversion going?
Is it supposed to be so noisy ? Have to put the radio on to stop it getting on my nerves ..... a constant knocking sound .......
No it's definitely shouldn't sound like that, might be faulty?
I don't get it 🤷. Surely all it is is a button that disconnects the battery? Just like removing the +lead off the battery?
I guess yeah, cuts the battery out of it's getting drained. Stops it going flat if you left the lights on etc.
Hi Will , Great job bruv , but I would have also put vapour barrier on the ceiling. Looks superb .
Thanks! Yeah I agree, have done this on more recent builds! Have you converted a van?
Yep my 2013 caddy van went into limp mode last week just before Easter long weekend and all of the Injectors have gone what a shit 🤬🤬🤬
All 4?! That's crazy, sorry to hear! Are you going to get them replaced?
@@willsvanadventures unfortunately it’s my only vehicle and I need it for work so I don’t really have much of a choice 😭😭😭
Mine went into limp mode last week and now going to have to get them all changed what a shit!
Ah that's so annoying! Think saw this on another comment!
Yer I was so pissed off I wanted everyone to know haha! The story doesn’t stop there got injectors changed all 4 still reading faults so fuel pump needs to be changed cheapest one £1200 then cam belt needs to come off so new one of them it’s never ending I think it’s going to be about £4000 worst Van I’ve ever had 😭😭😭
Which engine do you have in it? Has it been reliable? I’m looking to get one Thanks
I've always had the 1.6tdi and it's been great, no issues over 3 vans.
Hi mate I've just had my vw caddy maxi British gas vans remap was a big change but after 24h of having it done the return pipes on the injectors started leaking did u have the same problem
Ah I'm sorry to hear, I didn't have this problem. I suggest going back to the garage that did the remap and asking them?
Yep, mine failed mid drive the week this video came out! I wish I’d seen this video before I bought mine 😂 love your videos buddy, thank you!
Ah man that's so annoying! Glad you like them! Was it in the injector in the end?
@@willsvanadventuresyep, at 153k, one failed so I got all four replaced. Each was the price range you said too. A surprising ouch to my bank account for sure!
Nice1 Will..yes I'm requiring the Protector but I need to put in my search engine the correct measurements for the reg..PK67FHB if you can assist. I would be grateful for your advice on size & product Will thank u
Great job well done
Thanks! Do you have a van?
@@willsvanadventures yes a new berlingo in delivery miles and I’ve no idea what to do with it as it was bought on my company
Crazy reliable engines but they need new injectors all the time
I wouldn't say all the time, probably thousands that have been fine.
Ni e1..Will would u be able 2 advise me on my 2017 2.0 litre TDI Bonnet Protector as I'm struggling 2 get right 1...cheers will & thank u
Are you looking for a bonnet bra or protector?
@@willsvanadventures Hi Will, Protector & my Reg is PK67FHB
Hope u can assist me Will & by the way concerning the "HEKO" if possible the right terminology I would need to state to get the correct size Will & thank u
Nice1Wills
Thanks!
I comment to help statistics
Thanks!
Anyone know why on eBay, loads of wheel trims for a Caddy state they won't fit a Caddy Maxi 🤷. Same dia wheel, same tyre size etc but why won't they fit? Confused.
Buy wheel trim do you mean the plastic cover that sits over the wheel and clips on? Or a wheel arch kit?
Yeah the complete trim that fits in the steel wheel rim.
@@x4dd I'm not sure but any trim that's the correct size should fit i imagine. Most steels at 16"
Hugely helpful, thank you!
No worries, I'm glad it helped, are you converting a caddy?
@@willsvanadventures In a sense! Bought one at a severe discount... off a fishmonger lol. So I'm converting it into something survivable 🤣 Stripping it back to bare bones
Great job man, stainless Steel bolts would look wicked dude!
Thanks! Oh yeah they definitely would, thanks for the idea!
Apart from the injectors these 1.6 are bullet proof
Yeah I agree!
I use gumout fuel system cleaner before every oil change and they work. Every 5,000 km.
Ideal! I'll give that one a try as well, thanks!
Open the windows end of at night your in bed if your still cold in bed visit your doctor or get pissed on whisky
Huh
Do you need to put the vapour barrier over this inner metal skin or did you not bother for this panel?
Yeah I put a vapour barrier on the inside of the wooden panel.
@@willsvanadventures Awesome ty!
