    personally i dont think you need to use that much of the sound deadening matt -- its to heavy and expensive to cover the whole of the panels. You only need enough to stop the panel resonating . Why do you need 18mm ply for the floor --- what are you putting in there; 12 or 15mm is thick enough

    • @richard_builds_it
      @richard_builds_it 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      everyone is like ‘iTs ToO hEaVy’ honestly the sound deading is like 10kgs tops 🤣🤣 and also it’s dead quiet on the road and at night so great for me. the flooring for the 18mm ply was literally a temp floor while I did the rest of the build. a 12mm black ply flooring from my furniture company was installed in the end.

    Hi when you attached the white fuel line into the black fuel line. How far does the white fuel line go into the black pipe. Also did you just clamp the exhaust on or did you do any additional cutting down at the top of the pipe. Thanks

    • @richard_builds_it
      @richard_builds_it 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      just enough so that the jubille clips can hold down and make a decent seal between the two different pipe diameters. it technically wouldn’t matter how far you put it in - as the fuels only going one place! exhaust - yes - as per the instructions I basically cut my exhaust pipe a third from one end and inserted the muffler there. the ends were unchanged from factory.

      just google Kira Vans and they sell them! good price! I actually used a seat out of an older Vauxhall zafira or something but I did need to modify the fixing rails and use the correct strength bolts etc. the advantage of using a different seat is that it reclines and everything.

    You used the 4 torx bolts to pull the new one back in, could you not have knocked it out with the bolts without taking the entire hub off or a big puller from the front? My bearings arrived today so guess what I'm doing this weekend! Thanks for doing the video.

    • @richard_builds_it

      yeah you could absolutley leave it in I reckon - just would be a real pain to knock it out in situ or indeed to try a puller. I have a puller but for the sake of undoing a couple more bolts just thought it was way easier to remove the whole assembly. try it your way and let me know!!

    at 12:48 minutes, clearing out the gunk in that sensor. i did try to clear it our before without succes. this time i turned gently by hand with the pointy side of a 3mm drill in the first part of that sensors straight tube to clear it. than i took the backside of that same 3mm drill and twisted gently deeper and found some sort of a springy feeling. i think that's the actual membrane that i freed-up. i could feel the drill bouncing up and down. i think that's the thing you need to feel when trying to save this sensor. just thought i'd share this with all of you searching to fix this yourself 🙂 after this i didn't even have to clear the fault codes at the start-up.

    Just watched your video, I know it's a vauxhall but are they renault engines as per the traffic,and can you use copper slip grease for future removal. Good video and good van build. Cheers

      thanks I think it was from a 2008/2010 one I’m not sure. but I still had to drill the spacer box section in any case! just make sure to use the 10.9 rated bolts and do your own research 💪🏻💪🏻

    Any chance you could measure up those drawers? I was eyeing up buying this, but when I measured up in the van I thought the full length drawers would be tiny, but in the videos I've seen they look pretty decent width wise. Really nice set up!

    You didn't say what you did with the sensor wires, otherwise you will have a panel warning light come on. The single seat swivels easier and you have easy access to the rear, but that double seat is very useful. But good job...by the way you won't die, but I get the point.

    • @richard_builds_it
      @richard_builds_it 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      the passenger seat (in my van) didn’t have any wires what so ever! so absolute win! every time I removed the driver seat I was mega careful not to turn the engine on and throw a code. wouldn’t matter anyway as I have a code reader - but yeah no wires for the passenger side!!

      hi bro and thanks for the support! erm I mean it works with check engine codes etc and it dosnt go super deep. for the home mechanic it’s okay. I think it only covers check engine codes and not much else. I think in the future I’ll probably spend the £££ and get a proper Autel or something like that as it does everything.
