We list both crafter and sprinter in the title as they are one and the same vehicle shell and many of the parts we use fit both types of the van

Great vid Sam.. 👌

[@antmck33]

Nice one Sam👌🏼. Another one for the adblue, in my car the filler is just as small and in the middle of the boot floor, nightmare! I cut the first adblue bottle in half and now use it as a funnel.... Mush bigger target to hit

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

I had a VW Tiguan that was like that! No thought put into it at all

[@timstradling7764]

Good reminder! Neat solution to the Adblock conundrum😊

[@timstradling7764]

Don’t you love predictive text?😢

[@Alivefrom45]

Nice one Sam great advise and a great find with the transfer pump. We are lucky on our van that the Ad-blue filler is in the same place as the fuel filler cap, this would help us but its not as big a problem for us as you. Word from the wise, DO NOT buy Ad-blu when in Germany, We had to get some and it worked out at £30 for 5L.

I've seen prices like that here too

[@Blackhammer123]

Great video as always from sam, great solution to the addblue situation 😂

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Thanks! 😀

[@bryzot7242]

Another great post Sam...that's why I watch the channel pride in what you have ...I look after all my family vehicles & the biggest dislike is the state of my female members of the family hand me cars to take for MOT😂 make sure cars are clean & tidy they will destroy it on every little detail if you can't be bothered they are car guys & want some respect

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

I appreciate that

Hi just looking back at the vids with you upgrading the suspension. Great job, hard work, but job well done. I see you did not change the rear shocks, can I ask why? Also, what was the overall increase in height without using the airbags? I think you said 50mm? Would the savage lift kit not do the same? Maybe you could shed some light on the subject? Stay safe.

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Hi, we achieved a 50mm lift all around. I stuck with the standard dampers as they were still in great condition when they failed. I will be upgrading them, I'm not really a fan of the lifts kits I've seen alot of 4x4 ruined with after-market lift kits they caused major handling issues and premature wear of the steering components and tyers so used readily available parts to achieved the same affect Hope this answers your questions pal Take care 👍😊

[@lyndsayscott8866]

Spot on. Tbh I haven’t done many checks on Rita for a while. Must improve. Lol. Do you have a link to those reversing lights? Rita’s ones are terrible and my reversing camera is having a wobbly at the moment. Cheers.

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Just added it into the description if you can't find it remind my and I'll send you the link

[@joffty]

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Cheers 👍
