Ref light conversions. Here’s the MoT 2021 update, Sub-para 4.1.4 gov.uk It adds LEDs to the existing ban on HID conversions. But as I said up there, I’m pretty sure it’s still ok if you swap the whole unit so that you have the correct reflectors/filters. |

We're looking to buy our first van this year. Got a good idea what we want, but what do I NEED to know after looking at a van? Any crucial thing that I must not miss (apart from the usual vehicle buying stuff like mileage, MOT, etc).

Depends what age etc you are looking at. Some vans/models had known issues. Cam belt is always one of the main things we look at. |

The one we are currently looking at is a 16 plate VW T6 with 55,000 miles on it.

One requirement for us, RR, is a fixed bed. That was top of the requirements. A fold away bed was close but didn't quite cut it. The one we hope to get has a fixed bed and separate seating, so one of us can slob and the other one has somewhere to perch. The downside is that it means you are probably looking at a 6 metre long vehicle. |

Then double check the DMF has been checked as there was recall - ours has been replaced. There was also a recall re the belt tensioner. Cam belt will be due at 4 years so check that, other than that our 66 plate T6 is brilliant. The headlights aren't great so we upgraded ours. What engine size, what spec is it? Just looking at getting a poptop put on ours now - should have done it first |
