The horn when you lock is a warning that a door is open, normally the side loading door switch goes bad. I glued the button in on mine meaning the van thought the door was permanently closed and it fixed the beeping, but it also disabled the alarm if the side door ever got opened by a baddy 😂
Watching all the way from spain this week as didn't want to miss an episode 😊 Glad your back on the road in your new van and looking despite teething problems. Still looks cosy 👍🏻
LOVE the blue tape on the cabinets and also the fact that your horn toots when you lock the van LOL Porthtowan is a very special place for me but can't say why 🙃
I've watched this from Porthcothan Bay today, in our van. And it's taken from 9am until now to finish it due to poor phone signal! 😂 The dog and wife think I'm being really sociable. I'm not, it's just that I have minimal TH-cam! My first car was a 1976 1100 clubman, followed that with a 1963 Cooper S, then I had a 1979 1275 GT, which got torn apart and had Mini Metro turbo engine put in it. My three biggest interests, are anything VW, anything Mini, and anything BMX.
Great video! I especially liked how you seamlessly integrated the Readly commercial into your content - I didn't even realize I was in a commercial at first!
I went to a good burger spot just along from the blue bar with a local young lady once, it’s like a different planet there when the suns out surf culture and all that, I remember Christmas trees half buried in the sand for some reason too I think that was o stop the sand being eroded but the fact I could see them meant it hadn’t worked I think.. we didn’t get married either 😂
Double check the dashboard display driver settings options ? I seem to recall that you can disable the horn on lock setting ? You might also find a few other easter eggs like hill start brake etc 😊
I have had lots of Minis over the years. My last was a Mini Sidewalk. Now I have sold out & drive the new version lol. Charlie is so cute & has a gorgeous smile.
I love minis too- when I was 17 I bought a racing green mini for £40 - that was back in 1980! It was old - D reg and had holes in the floor. My dad was a fitter and he always fixed everything. I passed my test in it and went on to have 6 different models of mini- best trick was blanket on the engine on a cold , frosty night- even drove to work with it on by mistake once. Even had a mini metro. 😂 employed this video too . Cheers
Horn beeps on these if ut thinks the doors are open.... go round slam them all, then check and clean the contact pins... try roughing thrm up with a rough sponge 🤷 then check to see if they are making contact properly.... side door is the usual culprit
You can change the "Horn" settings in the menu. I changed it in that way, that I only get the Horn, if a door ist not closed while locking the car.....
Shaun Good evening great video as usual look forward to every Sunday. As for van tooting when locking. In the States when your car is locked and you press the lock button on remote twice the horn sounds and headlights come on . This is so you can find your car in vast car parks and security. I own a Dodge and it has been disabled for the EU . Only head lights come on . Even tried to get a Dodge Dealer to change it and the option is greyed out on the computer for EU spec Cars for noise abetment rules i believe. Keep them coming great watching all the best Mart
Hi Shaun, love your door closure system 😂 Idea: how about tourist guide? You know the area, you are a good conversationalist, you could take people snorkelling & surfing? I hope your van stops mucking about! Sea you on the next one 👋👋👋
My transit has a button to unlock the front doors and a button to unlock the rear doors and one button to lock all, when I use one button to unlock the front doors then try to lock using the lock button the alarm sounds, I have to press both unlock buttons before the lock button will work without the alarm sounding. I’m not sure but if you use the info button on your dash there are settings which may control which doors are activated with key fob.
Hi Shaun nice to see you had your safety Crocs on they are the most comfiest and gripper shoes I have. On the horn thing I noticed you had your door vents in so when you look the van it thinks the windows are open and it giving you a warning.
My Transit mk8 Rwd has a tendency to rub the intercooler hose on a crossmember and put a hole in it. Also as the weather will be turning wetter check your air filter isnt getting wet from water dripping down on to it..
great to meet you saturday dont meet to many film stars , just watched the video and i can see why you turned a funny shade when you seen the inside of my transit. its only our 4th time out and its a working progress as we find what works for us the main thing is we are out on the weekends. cant believe you let me yammer your ear off about everything and took the time to meet us all 😄.
Your channel is amazing I love it I wish I could do what you do, what a great Van. Take care Bro. I love Newquay Thistral Beach is my favourite ever Beach in the UK. Your family is Beautiful all my very best Simon from Bridlington UK 👍
Hey Shaun. Hope all is well mate, nice little video again and a nice little spot to stay in, hope you get your van fixed soon maté because I’m not sure I’d like to drive it with the turbo blowing like that. 😊
So sweet to see the family meet you for breakfast ~ such lovely ocean views. Hoping you get your van/solar issues resolved quickly. Glad you have a comfy bed & got some good sleep. Always love your music choices! Thanks for a peaceful easy Sunday! ❤
Hello! Love looking forward to your fantastic scenery and Sundays are definitely exciting now! Charlie is sooo cute, seeing your little family together is heartwarming..you are the best "day tripping" channel I have found! Congrats on staying positive while the quirks keep happening.Thank you for sharing your lovely world.
I’ve messaged you in a previous video about the turbos on these . And like I said befor I’ve blown 2, at £1700 a pop. I religiously check my oil every Sunday and top up if needed,( these engines are known for burning oil)👍🏼 just a heads up
The garage have checked the turbo and they’ve said it’s fine so the leak is coming from somewhere else. It’s booked back in now though. Just got to wait for them to do it
I don't uses my built in how very much and use a portable gas hob which takes those small bottles. I dont even use the sink much as I just get a washing up bow and fill with water washing my plates sitting on the sofa
Porthtowen is a stunning beach when there is no emmits about lol but all in all a fantastic episode Shawn and hope it's a minor fix on the van :) the van is looking ansum 🙏🏻
Great views of Porthtowan, and lovely to see Kate and Charlie 😊 I use Readly already and it is very convenient esoecially on a travel 😊 Good luck solving your van issues. 👍😊
Leakey turbo hose!! Mine did that on the M4, I thought I was gonna have to replace the turbo, nope, just refitted the loose hoses properly. Job done. Scary though at 9pm in the pissing rain.
Where is the boost leak coming from? If it’s just a small puncture then maybe you can patch it for now. Otherwise maybe DIY a new hose in? Best of luck mate- The Malaysian Emmet
You use micro mash you should try BNM and buy the 49p chicken mash you just add hot water and me n the mrs always put a nob of butter in it .Reeva mashed potato...
Look at it another way with the portable hob idea,you got flexibility of using gas or induction. Also think about safety with you child, your child might climb on to that seat to watch mummy or daddy so a portable hob you can move out of harms way.
I think your wife was hungry 😂 Lovely video. Stay positive, get yourself a replacement turbo and you'll be fine. Oh, please keep us all posted on the solar panel issue.
My Merc has that feature where it sounds the horn to alert of successful locking, it’s called ‘acoustic locking’ if you have a dash menu maybe it will be there to disable.. or if you can get a Carly or something similar you can change it. Also I download some things I want to watch just in case I get to a place with no signal. I’ve just found this on a site, it may help you disable to horn on locking. The Van Is Set To Honk When Lock By Fabric If there are no issues with your van, but instead, is set to beep or honk when you lock it by fabric, there is a quick trick you can try to fix it. This fabric setting is not usual, but it can still be found in some models depending on the year and origin fabric. If you want to deactivate this feature: Press the lock and unlock buttons at the same time for two seconds and the lights will flash three times. Lock the doors and the horn shouldn’t sound anymore (unless the panic alarm or security system is triggered).
Hi sorry for delayed comment, just got back to mcr from pentewan sands , hope this van sorts its self out after all time and money you've thrown into it
There might be a setting you can use somehow to change the alarm function to silent. I have a 2019 Connect and have found out that Ford can be quite annoying with their "helpful" features.
I hope the garage that fitted your new engine is going to sort out you turbo leak for you for free Shaun? Your van looks so cozy & comfortable, I bet you sleep like a baby in there mate.
Solar. Remind me the system size u have, please. I had a similar issue with my victron (its the 50amp vevrsion) I fixed it by putting solar in series. Victron mppt requires very high voltage to operate compared to other charge controller's. Just give it a try.
You have such an authentic free spirited soul Shaun, it’s magnetic! And such a beautiful family ❤
Keep those videos coming, we just love them! 😎
As previous comment,Yep only beeps if a door not shut or switch is broken
Sundays are not until you watch Love Sundays. Love your channel...Keep up the great work👍
Thank you
A leak in the turbo... in a van who just had the engine completely replaced. That garage better be fixing that problem for free.
The horn when you lock is a warning that a door is open, normally the side loading door switch goes bad. I glued the button in on mine meaning the van thought the door was permanently closed and it fixed the beeping, but it also disabled the alarm if the side door ever got opened by a baddy 😂
My Transit only bleep the horn when one of the doors isn’t shut properly, try checking the door switches are working correctly
Agree with you mine only beeps when the doors are open
Yes mine did too 👍🏼
Mine is usually the side door not shutting properly. Shit myself every time it goes off lol
Yeah came here to say the same normally means it thinks door/bonnet/something open.
Mine to,even if a window is open like yours was.... 8:35
Very good Shaun and a family breakfast together . Nice spot to spend the night aswell 👌
Portable cooker is a brill idea. Lovely day, remove it and cook outside. This is what I do.
@LoveSundays Shaun, Mustard With Steak Is Just Wrong lol. Horse Raddish All The Way lol. Hope Your Keeping Well Mate!
The beach of my childhood holidays!!! Bliss! Swam in that pool and attempted to surf!
Watching all the way from spain this week as didn't want to miss an episode 😊 Glad your back on the road in your new van and looking despite teething problems. Still looks cosy 👍🏻
Best time of day on the beach is when all the guests are eating and all the locals are out surfing!!!
Awe Charlie is getting big! Such a cutie!! Glad he gets to make appearances!😊
LOVE the blue tape on the cabinets and also the fact that your horn toots when you lock the van LOL Porthtowan is a very special place for me but can't say why 🙃
Great video as ever Shaun. Steak looked yummy…not sure about the mash though 🤔 Everyone, including us, is falling in love with Charlie 😀
Love a little Charlie cameo.
Always puts a smile on my face😃
I've watched this from Porthcothan Bay today, in our van. And it's taken from 9am until now to finish it due to poor phone signal! 😂 The dog and wife think I'm being really sociable. I'm not, it's just that I have minimal TH-cam!

I bet that cooper s would be worth a pretty penny now
My best mate bought it off me, and wrote it off 😢
Great video! I especially liked how you seamlessly integrated the Readly commercial into your content - I didn't even realize I was in a commercial at first!

Hope the turbo is ok. I had one whistle and it was broken. Take the hose off and you can check the fan blades......
Just make sure there is no wobble.
If you add a bit of Dijon mustard to mashed potato and mix it in, it tastes really nice
G'Day Mate, love your vlogs. Congrats on your van and your beautiful family. Safe travels.
Shaun, you need to put the fan on before cooking probably 10 mins as it takws time for the volume of air in yoy van to start to move.
Good advice
Good vlog Shaun lovely spot for an overnight stay hopefully see you next week 😀
Absolutely
I love minis too- when I was 17 I bought a racing green mini for £40 - that was back in 1980! It was old - D reg and had holes in the floor. My dad was a fitter and he always fixed everything.

My dad bought an MG metro just to have the engine out of it 😂
😂your wife had me in stitches on greeting you for breakfast 😂
Gorgeous family.
17:33 Charlie's like....... WTF U BIN?

My man, your videos are awesome and you have an adorable family! Cheers from across the pond.

I hope your van stops mucking about! Sea you on the next one 👋👋👋
First night in your newish camper van so spacious despite the small issues
Cheers
Quick “magazine” before bed 😉💪🏻
😂
That worktop is much nicer 👍
My transit has a button to unlock the front doors and a button to unlock the rear doors and one button to lock all, when I use one button to unlock the front doors then try to lock using the lock button the alarm sounds, I have to press both unlock buttons before the lock button will work without the alarm sounding. I’m not sure but if you use the info button on your dash there are settings which may control which doors are activated with key fob.
Nice to see you back out in the van Shaun. And a pint of Tribute 🍺
Cheers Nigel
Hi Shaun nice to see you had your safety Crocs on they are the most comfiest and gripper shoes I have. On the horn thing I noticed you had your door vents in so when you look the van it thinks the windows are open and it giving you a warning.
My Transit mk8 Rwd has a tendency to rub the intercooler hose on a crossmember and put a hole in it. Also as the weather will be turning wetter check your air filter isnt getting wet from water dripping down on to it..
Download films of series, I do it for camping with my daughter 👍🏼
Whistling turbo is ok to use don't worry about them.
Omg I frequented the blue bar for the first time the other week. Food and drink excellent and great staff.
great to meet you saturday dont meet to many film stars , just watched the video and i can see why you turned a funny shade when you seen the inside of my transit. its only our 4th time out and its a working progress as we find what works for us the main thing is we are out on the weekends. cant believe you let me yammer your ear off about everything and took the time to meet us all 😄.
Always good to be by the sea. Great to see Charlie and his mom again. She has a nice manicure. Looks like a good breakfast at the Blue Bar.
On the sliding door probably need to just clean the locking sensor I have to do mine now and then and it works perfectly fine again
Love Blue bar at Porthtowan . No phone signal means your partner has to talk to you .👏👌
Cracking meal, van is coming on so well. I like the idea of the stand alone hob too, giving you more worktop. Clever little ideas.
Thanks 👍
Your channel is amazing I love it I wish I could do what you do, what a great Van. Take care Bro. I love Newquay Thistral Beach is my favourite ever Beach in the UK. Your family is Beautiful all my very best Simon from Bridlington UK 👍
Glad you like the videos Simon
Mate, have a look at the Vango induction hobs. I've just bought the single version, works great 👍🏼
Hey Shaun. Hope all is well mate, nice little video again and a nice little spot to stay in, hope you get your van fixed soon maté because I’m not sure I’d like to drive it with the turbo blowing like that. 😊
So sweet to see the family meet you for breakfast ~ such lovely ocean views. Hoping you get your van/solar issues resolved quickly. Glad you have a comfy bed & got some good sleep. Always love your music choices! Thanks for a peaceful easy Sunday! ❤
Glad you enjoy the videos
Living your best life.......apart from the van issues 😉

Charlie is sooo cute, seeing your little family together is heartwarming..you are the best "day tripping" channel I have found! Congrats on staying positive while the quirks keep happening.Thank you for sharing your lovely world.
Done a grand job mate good video man 👍
That's a great video! 🏴👍
Glad you enjoyed it

And oil pump failure
The sprinters at work you can change the horn on lock to off via the radio, could be the same for the transit
Nice having the family come by. Your son is so cute. See you next week, Cheers 🍻
Thanks 👍
What was that pool @9:37 a Victorian plunge pool? Am loving the ceiling and wood counter, it looks warm and homey. :-)
Try cleaning the little sensor pads on the doors that used to work on my work van when it beeped 😊
Great idea!!
What a cute family ❤ What a place for a first date too !
Ps. Turbo problem sounds like a loose / split hose.
First date spot is nice…, interior upgrade looks very nice… your baby is so cute🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! 🤗
I don't uses my built in how very much and use a portable gas hob which takes those small bottles. I dont even use the sink much as I just get a washing up bow and fill with water washing my plates sitting on the sofa
Porthtowen is a stunning beach when there is no emmits about lol but all in all a fantastic episode Shawn and hope it's a minor fix on the van :) the van is looking ansum 🙏🏻
What a lovely video! Thanks for sharing your sweet family with us. CHEERS from San Diego, California. That is all. Goodbye!
Glad you enjoyed it
The horn going off when locking is normally when the van thinks a door has been left open... check/clean contacts on sliding door?
Best o luck with the van probs..deffo go with a portable hob, makes your space more multifunctional👍
Morning all, bit cooler today.
Honestly mate I absolutely love getting up on Sunday morning early and watching your videos 👍🏼👍🏼thanks
Glad to hear it
I had an identical transit for work and it always sounded horn if it thought a door isn't closed properly
Great views of Porthtowan, and lovely to see Kate and Charlie 😊 I use Readly already and it is very convenient esoecially on a travel 😊 Good luck solving your van issues. 👍😊

really enjoying your Sunday morning video's
Glad you like them!
You use micro mash you should try BNM and buy the 49p chicken mash you just add hot water and me n the mrs always put a nob of butter in it .Reeva mashed potato...
Hi great build on your van looks amazing mate induction hob in IKEA is great if I double or single one I use it my house really good 🍺👍
Look at it another way with the portable hob idea,you got flexibility of using gas or induction. Also think about safety with you child, your child might climb on to that seat to watch mummy or daddy so a portable hob you can move out of harms way.
Really enjoy your channel mate and it brings back great memories for me starting my family, great balance of van & life 😊
Thanks 👍
I think that you can get an obd11 fob that you can plug into your van and change the program on locking your van without the horn
I think your wife was hungry 😂 Lovely video. Stay positive, get yourself a replacement turbo and you'll be fine. Oh, please keep us all posted on the solar panel issue.
I have a ford transit that if there's an issue with one of the door sensors or not lined up correctly or shut right it will sound the horn. Hate it 😅
Another great video,lovely to see the family too xx

Good advice I’ll give it a go
@@LoveSundays great, I hope it works
Nice one Shaun. I did get Top Gear vibes with your horn though haha 😂
Beep means a doors open (potentially a sensor fault) but be sure to check its actually locked as mine wont lock unless it thinks doors are closed
You are correct, if it beeps the doors are not locked.
Hi sorry for delayed comment, just got back to mcr from pentewan sands , hope this van sorts its self out after all time and money you've thrown into it
Dad still as all his mags 😂
There might be a setting you can use somehow to change the alarm function to silent. I have a 2019 Connect and have found out that Ford can be quite annoying with their "helpful" features.
It’s doing my head in 😂
I hope the garage that fitted your new engine is going to sort out you turbo leak for you for free Shaun? Your van looks so cozy & comfortable, I bet you sleep like a baby in there mate.
Hi Shaun, good vlog but Charlie is definitely the star of your vlogs!!!!
I know he always steals the show
Good morning, you made me yawn 🥱 😂
Have you checked the cable conectors on the solar panels? Has a wire come out maybe
I had it working briefly the other day after connecting new wires it turned out it was the earth but it’s stopped working again now
Solar. Remind me the system size u have, please. I had a similar issue with my victron (its the 50amp vevrsion) I fixed it by putting solar in series. Victron mppt requires very high voltage to operate compared to other charge controller's. Just give it a try.
It’s the 30A version and I have one 305w panel. I got it working the other day by bypassing the earth but it’s stopped working again now.
Are u the noise man? I got a noise after replacing my power steering pump, like a loud hissing like that movie- war of the world's 53'
A previous owner probably coded the van so that the horn goes off when you lock the van.
Make sure all you're doors are locking, transits only bleep when one of the doors is ajar or not making contact....
I think it’s the drivers door. I have to lock and unlock it with the key whereas the other doors open and lock on the remote
@LoveSundays yeah I saw in the video that you unlocked it manually. Something not right there, Alignment or not going over the second latch maybe
