Recently we changed our vehicle from a VW Transporter van to a Ford Ranger Wildtrak Pick up. There were numerous reasons for this change but one area I didn’t expect to be so different was the noise levels. I also didn’t expect a van to be quieter than a pick up! I was astounded to realise how noisy the Ford Ranger Wildtrak was to drive. As a company we have … Read More →

This was until we got our own automatic VW T5 Kombi van. My first thought was that even if I could only get the clutch claw to fit around the brake pedal … Read More →

Like most vans, the noise that can transmit through an engine bay into the cab is very annoying. The VW Transporters are are fine example of this.
