With all the preparations for going away I forgot to post about this.
I recently had VB FullAir Suspension fitted then the following week had an MOT. He spotted this silver bolt was lose and called me in to show me. He didn’t fail it but allowed me to take it the short distance home on condition that I got it fixed.
Obviously I contacted SAP immediately who were horrified but insisted that they get that part pre assembled and had no need to check it. So they put me in contact with VB the manufacturers who assured me it wasn’t dangerous but also said I shouldn’t drive it! So I obviously couldn’t take it anywhere to get it fixed so removed each and “loctited” them. In fact all except one were only finger tight and that one was not at the correct torque. I may have just got a Friday afternoon build, but if you have that front suspension I suggest you check those bolts. Just lift the suspension to maximum and they can be easily seen.
Apart from this problem I am really pleased with the suspension, the van is much more stable and unaffected by Trucks and Coaches and it has easily levelled us on some places that would have been difficult to sleep in.
