Hi Guys
New member here. I thought Id register and say Hi, albeit Ive been reading the forum in general for a few years when I was based back in England. After yoyoing to and fro, Australia to England, Ive settled here in Sydney with my Aussie Mrs.
Ive got a 2007 (previous shape to current) 208Cdi swb on its way over from England, it should arrive in a week to 10 days all being well. Ive owned the van from new, for the first two years it was a stationery delivery van, then I started to use it as my persoanl vehicle, and when I sold the business in 2010, I bought the van as it was just too good to sell on and worth next to nothing in the UK (about £4-5000) albeit its still only travelled 78000 miles. So, whats so special about the little Truck? well initially nothing, but since buying it off my business I set about turning it into a small user friendly camper van. Ive got loads of before during and after photos if anybody is interested, anyway, its turned out to be a very tasty special little truck and draws a lot of attention whenever its parked up.
The only draw back was that when I went back to the UK to ship the van, I didnt leave enough time to get aircon retrofitted, so in a nutshell I wondered if any of you guys here in Oz were in the know? Either a retrofit of a stock cab aircon (yes I know its a big job) or is there a bolt on system for the cabin area that can be used whilst driving?
I was also going to get the engine chipped boosting the 82bhp up to 211/311 spec i.e. around 109/110 bhp.....Ive not seen anyone advertising this service here, is it available?
Any help would be appreciated
