Another great video,I've got a transit but do enjoy watching your stuff for ideas and like you say every little bit you do makes your van that little bit better.
Well thanks for watching. It all helps. 👍🏻
Well said in the end :D Thats what i think also, i have building my van for 6 months now and it looks pretty good now and its so much better than before with hifi and reverse camera etc. Vans are awesome! 😍
Vans are definitely awesome 👍🏻
Good stuff. Have got the dashboard trim in already and it’s invaluable. Had to dig no end of rubbish out before I fitted it 😂
Ha ha. 👍🏻
A common overhead light upgrade is fit a tourag one. Lovely mood lighting with it.
Never heard of that. 👍🏻👍🏻
🤣🤣🤣love the "do you need these NO" should you buy the maybe ,probably, yes. nice vid and great to see you back on youtube.👍👍👍
Ha ha.
Cheers you 👍🏻
the windscreen seal looks the bollocks to stop moisture from the windscreen dripping down there after a nights camping/shagging 👍 cheers buddy
Ha ha. Yeah that too ha ha
On the storage box in the step we add a small loop to the lid that lays in the small cut out ❤
Ye nice. They should really do something here eh
thank you 1,2,3,4,5 times........... please keep them coming as there lusssssssshhhh
Thanks mate. 👍🏻
Only yesterday I was wondering if there was a cover available for the seat brackets
Then came across your video (not literally 😅) so thanks for showing these will purchase today
Ha ha ha. Spot on.
The side step hole lid glue some fabric to the underneath 😊
👍🏻
Love a straight forward honest review 👍🏻keep up the good work
Cheers you 👍🏻
good watch, thanks, some ideas for the carravelle :)
Nice one
going to be researching whether they make these for discoveries too! I’ve got no end of parking tickets and even a literal flow test down there!
Mate I bet it would work in any car/truck. It’s just a triangle at the end of the day
Really enjoyed the video, some great ideas in there. Could you please tell me the wattage and fitting type for the bulbs in the cab lights? Thanks
Probably not ha. There is a link in the description below. It may be in the website 👍🏻
Awesome thanks 🙏👍
👍🏻
Awesome Steve 😊! Have you ever thought of having the rims painted in a darker silver, imo tat would look perfect!
Whose Steve???
Darker silver. These wheels are black?
@@urbanarkoverland Steve Field.....sorry i reacted to the wrong Video
@@jensdobernecker609 ha ha.
For that compartment near the step you NEED some self-adhesive felt, so those plastic caps don't rattle all the way...
👍🏻
Just ordered the door seals following your review for Camper - code worked too when I copied and pasted. Hoping this purchase will help with the noise reduction for the new speaker I've just installed. Thanks
Ha ha. Should do 👍🏻
Great Vid Right about the 5 or 6 thing
Might get dash trim seal for my Sprinter camper van which has a dash to screen rubber trim strip already fitted as standard but from the amount of debris found when I stripped out the dash great idea bad execution(it's a new one fitted by previous owner
MB should be Made Bad 🙂
My old MK4 Golf Door seals are fitted in place of the original Sprinter door seals much better fit far quieter look better as inside trimmed in cloth & free
Awesome mate.
Was a bit dismissive of the extra door seals when i saw them on another vid somewhere. Just did the uograde and they make a big difference. Dont care about the shutting noise but much less noise leaking into the cabin. Also makes an even bigger difference replacing old main door seals on older vans.
Oh man. For the small cost too. No brainer for sure 👍🏻👍🏻
Drill a finger hole 20/25mm the step lid so you can pull it out? Or a small recessed handle
Yep. 👍🏻👍🏻
Like the vids like his delivery 😅
I appreciate it. Thanks
Great video!! Just wondering where did you get the cab lights from? Hugs from Sweden :)
Hey. All links in description 👍🏻
5 is good!!!! lol. Nice
😂👍🏻
Great video! Do you have the reference of the LED lights?
I’m sure link in description mate. Try transporterhq. Have discount codes too. UAO5 👍🏻
Hi I watched your video about installing the 10ltr hot water cylinder and being a heating engineer myself and planning to undertake a van build I wanted to know your thoughts on having two of those cylinders and fitting them in series hence 20ltrs of hot water!?!?, plus they do a 12v version I see.
Yeah that’s no problem at all. Although they do a 20 litre cylinder. So you will be paying twice. Benefit is. If you had them on delegate switches. You could choose to only heat 10 👍🏻
Another great video. Thank you 👍 Could you please advise me about a upgrade horn for my T6.1 caravelle.
Ha ha. Not yet. I’ll look into it. 😂
Volkswagen must have been having a bit of fun in the parts bin when choosing horn for T6.1😊
@@alanritchie7902 silly isn’t it.
Regarding the Van X step, could you drill a neat little finger hole in the top so you can lift it off easier?
Door and dash seals make a huge difference 👌🏼
Yeah I could yeah. That’s a great idea 👍🏻
@UrbanArkOverland tbf they should be made like that 🤷🏻♂️
@@adiehull I know. It’s a little silly to be honest.
Top video. Do you put links up for the things you use ?
Yes mate. All in the description. Use code UAO5 at transporter hq 👍🏻
Another great video mate.
Where did you get the bulbs from? I bought some from travelinlite and they flicker more than viberlite
Is there not a link in description?
Yes sorry mate, didn’t think to look.
@@morrisclearancecompany8507 👍🏻
Hello UAO, where is possible to buy the first (door seal)? do you have the specification like thickness and wide? tks in advance... good video!
The link is in the description mate. Trabsporterhq

6: Go to town on the rust-proofing. I work on an endless stream of Transporters - there's seldom less than 3 in the yard at any time. All have rust. Get a load of rust treatment stuff - smother every part in it. Ideally before you have any rust. Prevention beats treatment every time. Rust proof your van - VW didn't.
Oh ok. Thanks 🙏
What part of the van is worst for it? I've seen a few with rust in the corner of the sliding doors
@@chrisweston9764 chassis where the rear shocks mount, front crossmembers, under the sliding doors, blah blah - they go everywhere. Above & below the windscreens too.
I've used a hose before now as dashboard trim so as not lose crap
Nice 👍🏻
Do we need this video? No. Is it going to make your life easier? If you have a transporter rather than a proper van, yes ! 😁😁 Nice extras, well done!
Ha. Rather than a proper van ha.
What’s your van mate??
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍🏻
@@urbanarkoverland only yanking your chain. 🔗 They are fine vans and suit a purpose. As a family of four with loads of stuff to carry, never any good for me. 🙂 Enjoying the vids. If you came from the deep south west, top 6 would be easy as we all have 6 fingers snd 6 toes 😎.
@@nigelburton7408 ha ha. Where you from.
I wasn’t sure if you were saying about it being a real van as I previously pulled it apart for being too small?!
@@urbanarkoverland West Wiltshire.
Do you have any vida on sound deadening and insulation please?
No mate. Sorry. There are bits here and there across other videos.
Just bought a t5, the amount of crap I found down by the dashboard was ridiculous , pens, pencils, metal blades, drills etc. Guess what I'll be buying soon 😂
Ha ha 👍🏻
Those door seals you fitted. Have you had any issue with water entering them from the cut top or bottom ends? I fitted some yesterday and they do make a difference to the clanking doors and cuts down on road noise a bit. And YES .... I do own a Golf 😊
Hi mate. So since making this video bead a few people mention to make a cut or drill hole on the radius to allow for water to escape 👍🏻
Ha ha. Do you drive like you’re alway in a hurry? In ya golf?
@@urbanarkoverland Thanks for your reply. I did think about making a couple of holes with a soldering iron. I think I'll put a small blob of silicone in both ends and a few choice holes to let air and any water escape.
I drive my golf like Miss Daisy... eeking every mile I can from a tank of fuel🤷🏼♂️
Keep up the good content 👍
@@PhilHaddon I wouldn’t seal it up. You want air to escape when it slams shut 👍🏻
Where did you get the interior leds from, where they expensive?
Link in the description 👍🏻
How’s the ovano table? Just ordered one myself 👍
Really good mate. Looks the nuts too. Has a beautifully cnc’d piece as the table joins the leg. You won’t be disappointed 👍🏻
Now I want to buy a transporter 😅
Good lad ha.
Maybe watch my REGRET video first 😂
what's the name of the wheels? I saw another video of yours with the Navis Gileda s but they are not that
These are kmc hole shots. All explained in that new video mate.
what size are your wheels and tyre and where do you get them
245/65/17 if you search transporter hq. Then email me. I can get money off 👍🏻
You NEED the golf door seals as otherwise, over time, the metal on metal door slam will eventually rust.
Nice 👍🏻
Cool:)))
👍🏻
Door seals order, thanks!
👍🏻
@@urbanarkoverland you need to get yourself affiliate links for these
@@Premier_lawns_official good idea. I’ll send an email ha.
@@urbanarkoverland end of the day, it's an advertising cost to them. They only have to pay if a sale is made. That way you both get something out of it.
@@Premier_lawns_official ye man. It makes perfect sense.
I've had my t5 for about a week now. I've spend just over £1200 on upgrades. Its getting there but far from finished
Hope you’ve been saving money. UAO5 at checkout. Transporter hq
😂😂😂😂 the interior bulbs , good idea.. not sure if t5 bulbs are different though?
@@bathams love them bulbs.
UAO5 works on anything across thq.
Have other upgrade videos too 😀
Haha I got three of those upgrades
Ha ha. 👍🏻
Break Cleaner removes paint. Alcohol doesn’t.
Door seals work on the passenger side but I now have to slam the drivers door to get it to close. No good at all. And yes I fitted them as per the instructions.
Why would the passenger door be different???
@@urbanarkoverland the van is factory, I bought it new. All fine before the seal was fitted.
@@urbanarkoverland the van is factory, I bought it new. All fine before the seal was fitted.
@@stonkeng don’t know what to tell ya mate. Mine shuts lovely. Takes a tiny bit more effort than it used to. But don’t need to ‘slam it’
Mine is the same. Really have to slam the drivers door now
Bungalow
I haven’t got a 4ft wall outside my house
I'd drill a 20mm hole in the door step storage to pop your finger in to open it up
👍🏻👍🏻
Grer4
i lost somthing down the dash/windscreen . i nearly topped my self.
What was it????
@@urbanarkoverland just a bit of felt but my van was only a few months old. did manage to get it out a few months later because it moved. will be getting some of that trim now.
@@dd-yg3cx ha ha. Glad it worked out 👍🏻
breake cleaner dissolves your clear coat.....
On the inside of the door.
Thanks
mate, dont come on here with your "hard earned money" you've already told us your a plumber hahhahahahhahhahha
Ha. Ssshhhhhh
Get a shave
Brush ya teeth
I use mine for work and don't need any of these things
Still looking at van vids though huh ha
@UrbanArkOverland not really mate got to the bit about the door seals the first and turned it off. I'm on my 5 transporter do about 50k a yeah and keep them until the warranty is up. It's just like driving a golf/polo of a few years back wouldn't have another van. Only they have stopped making them.
@@firkit2 then how do you know you don’t need any of them? 🧐
Another VW. 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
Go on. I’ll bite
