    As per above.
    Has anyone has this issue? The black paint seems to be particularly thick - so perhaps not straight automotive paint?

    Well,
    I've found the issue the tyre fitter reported is correct, unfortunately.

    The adjustment on the hinge arrangement was already using the maximum depth. The wheel+tyre looks to be 10-15mm too...

    Issue with 235/65 R17 tyres on my T5.1

    I've run a set of 4 Pirelli Scorpion ATR tyres on my van and replaced them this week.

    Thanks MIG, I'll have to try harder! I appreciate your confirming the colour/ terminal.

    Hi Hillbilly,
    I can appreciate your experience! I've seen other vehicles washed sideways. However, I'm not thinking of fast flowing water - certainly with the cross section of a T5! Actually, it's...
  12. Wading depth / breather kits. T5.1 4motion

    I understand the wading depth of my 2011 T5.1 was 300mm. I've lifted it 30mm which helps up front, at least.
    I'd like to increase the wading depth further. I'd appreciate comments.

    When the van...
