Worst video I’ve watched of how to fit a bike rack 🤷🏻‍♂️ thanks for showing us how to fit it 🤨

What’s weight limit on bike rack

Be so much better if there was another bar on left barn so weight is spread over 2 doors and bike weight spread even then once at location slide rack over to right door so doors can open

Great video, very helpful. just a trivial ask, Q. which and how did you mount the camera for watching the spring movement while driving? - is it a gopro? which model? very clear to watch. - and what is your next upgrade? rear shocks or the Front end? -i guess that is a whole aother question - what about the front end?! - thanks for posting the great video.

Do you need that bottle tho you can just use that adapter on a normal bottle ???

There's something oddly satisfying about watching suspension in motion.

make a net and cover the holes so it doesent go in to the pipes much easier to clean

Hi nick , looks like a good upgrade , I see it was a few years ago you fitted these , are you still running with both sumo springs , I’m thinking of doing this to my Hymer ( Ducato also ) Tha so for another reallly good video⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks for a very helpful video. I have followed it to install the same camera with the hardwiring kit. The only problem I have is that I can’t connect to the camera once I park and walk away from our motorhome. It’s fine when I’m in it but not when I leave it, for instance when I’m at home. Should I be able to connect and view the camera from any connected device or only when I’m in the vehicle? I thought I would be able to this but perhaps I’m wrong. It only connects when it’s listed on my phones available Wi-Fi connections and the halo one disappears when I walk away from the camera. Any help much appreciated, cheers.

So over 2 years on which ones sre you still using and are they any good?

Great advice, i would suggest using ACF50 or muckoff HbC1 as they are designed to protect engines from corrosion

Useful reminder, thanks. It can be awkward to remove debris from these pipes but you can get a drain unblocked which connects to a Karcher (it has three back jets to push through to the blockage and a forward jet to break up the blockage.) It has never failed. I use pot scrubber as a filter. Let’s water through but catches bigger debris.

Thank you! You didn't show how to make the most difficult purchase. How to attach the bars to the car. The final installation is easy.

Totally skipped the glue step wow

Do you know where the middle drain pipe runs out. Mine is blocked and I can't clear it. I've seen a spare on ebay and the problem is the stupid design at the end of the pipe it's not open it's shaped and has a really narrow flat exit, which is clearly blocked on mine. But I can't find a workshop drawing that shows me where it comes out. I'm assuming it somewhere around the driver's side wheel arch.

Thank you 👍

Hi nick what wind Defactors have you got on your motorhome pls They look wider than the ones I've seen

Greetings from Finland and thanks for this video. I just changed my motorhome to a Sunlight T67 which is built on a Ducato about the same age. I got some tips on removing the covers etc. from you.

Hi nick, have you changed anything at the front?

I thought those springs are not supposed to be touching unless you are driving over a bump.

Where did you buy Sumo Springs. Their website says no dealers in Europe. Do they have to be imported from the US?

Hi good video, to stop any tree debris etc, blocking the drain pipes try some pound shop stainless steel pot scrubbers at the water entry point to work as filters. Ed,

Thanks for the video. I’ve got a 2022 Ducato and had all of the covers and pipes off for cleaning today. There was a lot of debris in the drain channels and tubes and some corrosion on the injectors already. I’ve put a bead of clear silicone between the scuttle panel and windscreen as this looked like a poor fit. The top of the engine under the plastic cover is a perfect trap for water. I’ve removed any surface rust and treated it temporarily with some WD-40 for now but I think AC-50 is a much better option over winter. I think the camper ideally needs to be under some shelter next winter. Not sure if an engine cover would help long term or just trap moisture in.

If you’ve not spotted them, there’s two smaller drain holes in addition to the main three. They’re behind the bigger side drains. Keep these cleared too

We’re so I get?

Hai Nick, where did you buy the cable that ensures that the door cannot open further than 90 degrees?

Hey Nick, how tall are you? I'm looking at one of these but it seemed a struggle for yourself and I'm only 5'6!

Have had some great sessions here and round at Hunstanton. Not been since mid summers day 2020 as moved another 2 hours further away than the already 3 hour drive I had, but now only 55 mins from the west coast. Must get back there one day.

Nick, great video, we decided to buy this rack for our Promaster in the states. Wondering what rear door windows you have fitted to your van?

Hi Nick, Thanks for your very informative video. I have a 2021 Pilote with a Ducato as well and I have the exact same problem. The only way I could unblock it was to fill it with water and squeeze the pipe as you did very low down and hey-presto water gushed out. I've ran a few gallons through it and all is now ok. I've sealed up that useless pipe joint as well and make up some mesh covers for the inlets.

can I have the model number of front and rear sumo springs? my ducato is 2021

Thank you for the video very helpful.Can you tell me if there are any airbag issues when taking the seats off ?

Hi Nick when fitting your new alloy wheels did you adjust your original suspension set up please thank you in advance

Thanks 🎉

I really wanted to see the door brackets fitted....in particular what glue do you use? It's not clear from the instructions and no glue was supplied.

Thanks Nick 👍🏻 Have a 2020 Ducato and couldn’t work out how to remove the engine cover, was worried I’d break it when attempting to get it off, after watching this video was able to manage it easy. Thankfully like yours wasn’t much sign of rust but gave it a good spraying of ACF50 which is all I had to hand other than WD40, figured the ACF50 would be the better option but quite like your idea of using copper spray. By the way are you located at Aylsham? I’m not too far away from you if so 👍🏻

We have2

These seem very, very expensive compared to an airbag.

So you add spacers to increase the ride height?

I watch this video to see how the brackets attach to the door and you never filmed it so to me it was worthless video

You should consider filming the van rather than yourself. We want to actually see the van!!!!!

Really helpful video Nick. It looks like you were able to lay the seat on its back while you were fitting your shunt - were you able to keep seatbelt pretensioner plug connected during the fitting?

Hi Nick, thinking of getting one of these. Can you close you blind with it stuck to the screen still ?

Hi, apparently, those bump stops are actually spring assistors and as such are supposed to be in contact with the top of the spring. ( i did the same job on my citroen camper but fitted triple leaf springs. It was over kill to be honest but it looks like the van is empty ! However i have found that the front needs raising as well now as the rear sits so high ! I also fitted new bump stops and shocks as they came as a kit. £350 from midland springs in case anyone is interested. 👍👍

Thanks for that, i think I'm sold!

Thank you for posting. 👍

Hi Nick, I have just received my sumo-springs and have attempted to remove the two spacers in order to go down to one. You made it look easy in your video! Did you have problems undoing the bolt on the first one? I’m reluctant to start clamping it in a vice in case I damage it. Any tips?

Thank you very much for showing, explaining and giving highly appreciated tipps for solutions. Kind regards from Moritz from Hamburg (Ducato built 2019). I will check those wholes and pipes tomorrow. So good to know the importance. Have a peaceful and healthy christmas time 🙏
