My donor NE was a 5.1 GP T28 2.0 102bhp, air-con with electric pack. Was happy with the engine size and power but may get it re-mapped later. My main focus was mileage, and the comfort options with electrics and air-con + colour. Only things i do want to do is get cruise control added as this is an option that can be purchased from VW as an upgrade.

Yes, it can. My Cali doesn't have cruise control and I was thinking of adding it as an option. Pretty straightforward, it's a single stalk.

Yeah, think it would be a great addition for long journeys. I still have a list of updates i'm planning; - Leather front seats to match Rock n roll bed - Arm rests on drivers Seat - Awning Rail - Multifunction Steering Wheel - Cruise Control - Diesel Heater - Removable Tow Bar - Engine Re-Map Sure i will continue to add to the list but as already said a bottomless pit for my money to go into. |

Let me know how you get on, partic. with the steering wheel. My Cali is an ex-demo, therefore I couldn't exactly choose what options I wanted ... the one I miss most of all is MSW. There's a Polish website that specialises in after-market VW stuff and I was very tempted, but you're talking a load of dosh and I don't know if it's worth it.

p.s. get the heater. It makes a world of difference.

Thanks NE yes heater is high on the list for colder months, I know VanWorx vanworx.co.uk have done MFS replacements but I have not used them yet and not sure of the £, they use Golf steering wheels i think as they are all the same.

I wish I'd never seen this thread. It was an idle passing thought that I might like one of these in the future. Needless to say, now I want one immediately ...
