THE STORY

MEET Mullet.

Dom M of Ramsgate bought Mullet after leaving Guernsey, trading in an old Caravelle. The van had 68,000 miles when purchased and the engine now shows 79,000 miles. Since returning to the UK, it has supported his surfing trips to Cornwall and Devon, aided by the 888 special X-pack cruise control on long journeys. The white/grey SWB Panel Van, with a 2.5 TDI AJT engine and manual transmission, has undergone a full camper conversion with uprated injectors, solar, added windows, retrimmed seats, 40mm lowering, side-exhaust, diesel heater and fridge. Ownership spans four years.

Mullet is Dom M’s White/ grey SWB Panel Van, with a 2.5 TDI AJT engine and Manual transmission.

Uprated injectors, full camper conversion, solar, added windows, retrimmed seats, lowered 40mm, side pipe exhaust, diesel heater, fridge.

FAVOURITE THING

WHY THIS T4?

The reliability is what I value most about the van; it never lets me down anywhere in the UK and supports me on long trips.

WHAT’S NEXT?

STILL ON THE LIST.

Future plans include a little rust repair and perhaps a pop-top; a remap is also considered to improve comfort and performance on UK trips.
