I’m just about to fit my new housing , do we need a gesket sealer or anything? Or does it just connect and bolt on ? Thanks
Good job
Great conversion. Struggling to find insurance for a self build. Who do you use? Thanks
There are also cabins that allow pets to be taken in with you, but they are limited, so you need to see if available and book way ahead if going on high season.
thank you
I decided on the Grabber AT3 a good 50/50 that wear evenly.liked the look also of the Agilas but had my heart set on the Grabbers.👍
Nice setup. I just bought one of these and love it.
Make sure those jump packs are charged regularly, otherwise the lithium battery inside them will die and you will not be able to use it again,
What happened?
Great video. What are ko2 tires?
Dont believe anyone who says *if im honest. ;)
Actually now I'd like to see you get the battery drained again and then try to use the jumper lead with it totally charged
Thank you for the review, awesome job!
Nice your van 👍👏 how you find your seat embase flip ( embase tournante pour siège deux places) ?
Where's the link to the belly plate?
What springs did u use?
Great info, especially details on wheels that most miss mentioning..well presented too dude,great job..im watching all these tonight 😁 nice one!
Very helpful and useful. Thanks.
Thanks for the video, I'm just about to go and start the process, 😂 wish me luck
What a cool channel! Glad i stumbler upon you. I would love a van like this.
What size? Just curious.
Nice work,Are the flares a to b conversions euros?
Hi! What do you think about these shock absorbers? I also want to install them in my sprinter 906, I am also considering Bilstein B6 - but they are not available.
The cairn is at about 500m no?
Great review, thinking these will be going on my t5👍🏻
Hi, great blog, what was the cost of the build and timeframe ? Thanks
Hey, thanks! It’s hard to say on this conversion because we had a lots of parts in stock from previous builds but around 7k in parts I think and it took 2 months.
@@sprintervanconversions Do you build for customers ?
@@russellgodwin9361yes! Ping us a message on instagram to discuss your plans :)
miss you guys!!
Aw thanks! We hope to post a bit more regularly in the coming weeks :)
What year is your van? Cheers Stuart
I Stuart, this van was 2013 but this same thing exact process applies from 2007-2018 sprinters. Maybe newer too but I’ve not worked on a new shape sprinter yet
I hope you guys feel like doing another episode soon we miss you
Aw thank you! We just released a new video on Sunday :)
Nice one cheers
No worries
I don’t get what they are for?
We recently bought one after a flat battery incident at a motorway services in France. It cost us €180 to pay the recovery people due to confusion between RAC UK and their European counterpart and not having us on record. We found one of these units in a visit to a Carrefour near Caen. There was a Ring version for €59, and the Osram 300. We bought the 300 for €77. The literature and the Osram TH-cam video say you must charge it fully before first use, and that it will do up to 25 starts on a charge. Great to see you using it successfully on a diesel engine. I too was very sceptical having seen the power bank's size compared to the older jump starter packs like Clarke or Snap-on.
Are you going to be doing Sprinter videos any more?
Yes, I fact we've just released a new video this week, check it out :)
Great video, thanks. Please would you let me know what pressures you set your tyres at? Is it the 80psi that Michelin seems to recommend regardless of axle weight?
Off the top of my head I think i went with 65psi front and back :)
Hi brother. Great video. Do we need to apply silicone on the rubber seal before putting it back in the position? Thanks
Hi did you ever find out the answer ? I’m doing mine today and want to know the same , not sure wether to try and out gasket seal on it or not
@ 2 people that made TH-cam videos told me not to use anything
Do we need to apply silicone on the seal? Thanks
Is there any rules about fitting gas box near electrics? I have electrics by wheel arch and wanted gas bottle cupboard at the back by the doors with cable above the electrics?
In theory, the gas is totally isolated when it is the sealed gas locker so there shouldn't be any issues. Just don't run any cables through the gas locker :)
How are they off road ?
They are road tyres, no doubt about that but i haven't got stuck driving on snow or wet grass...doesn't mean to say it might not happen.
Thank you for the video, especially to be so honest to report failures as well to let everyone learn something. Really appreciate your review
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just spend 12 hours under my van becouse of one very jammed upper bolt😂 At first it seemed an easy job but was something else than easy. My god how numb i was after that. 12 hours fight but manage to win that battle.
Oh gosh, sorry to hear you had that experience! :D
Those little sensor bits you took off the pads were nothing to do with the ABS. They're pad wear sensors.
That's correct!
We went down Trollstigen in a coach bus on an excursion trip. Very grateful for the bus driver’s skills navigating those hairpin turns!
Oh goodness, that would be even more scary!
Thanks. Very helpful. Is there anywhere (eg Europe) where it's necessary for the access to the gas locker to be from the outside?
I have no idea but if your van is from UK, i assume it only has to conform to UK rules.
Ours when we poured the water in the big white thing was leaking in the middle of the van close to the driver side so guess that's it
Thank you for your video we were leaking not the water pump but I watched your video and I'm pretty sure it's the housing my husband's taking it apart but he can't get the last bolts I think not that your hard middle one just some missing one.
Brilliant job mate appreciate you taking time to make it. Very helpful 👌
Glad it helped!
Had these on my last car and will put them on again soon on an EV. I was blown away with their performance in winter, took them out to test on compacted road and fresh snow they are a game-changer. Being able to safely bring the car to a stop without any surprises or get up a hill where others are getting stuck. Alright they are not the best summers and you may not get a crazy severe winter but better to have these than find yourself in a ditch.
Totally agree!
This is the sort of real life experience I find helpfull.
Glad it helped!
Could you do a video or tell me a bit more about the suspension lift as I’ve been looking at lifting my one and there are bit expensive, please
Thanks for your comment. I have done a video covering my wheels and suspension here :) th-cam.com/video/eXOPanDbGT4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5uwFwZg7G3CIO6Zd
