Hello from Solent Empty Greeting from the Isle of Wight

Post by solent Tue Feb 22, 2011 6:53 pm

Hi All

Good to have a new A/S forum I am sure it will prove useful to exchange views and information

I own a rare Sandhurst model. 2008 T5 174 Auto. I am a member of ASOC, CC & C&CC and with another ASOC member on the island run a rally for ASOC members in June each year

Any forum members thinking of coming over to the island and require information, please feel free to contact me

Regards

Mac.

Hello Solent

Welcome to the forum :(Y) or (y):

Very handy to have someone on the IOW to turn to for info! We could have done with knowing you last year, when we lost our awning staying at Thorness Bay near Cowes! 😁

Get some pics up of your Sandhurst for us all to see (Admin is adding new sections all the time) all good

Great to have another ASOC member here too, could do with a few more joining us!

Welcome Solent

I love the AS Sandhurst - If I were ever to swap my beloved Trident (and that's a very big if) and go for a motorhome then the Sandhurst is defineately the one I'd go for - I reckon it's the best looking motorhome out there all good

Is it nice to drive ?

Stevo

Hi Stevo........I think cruizing comet is being cruel to you posting those pics....lol

Yes its great fun to drive and with the 174 hp engine its not slow. it,s my "big boy" toy and is fully loaded, I have fitted over 24 extras to it so far cant think of much else to add only cruise control which I plan to get fitted next month.

Only problem is as I understand it, the Sandhurst was too expensive for A/S to make and so you dont see many on the road. As far as I know there are only 5 others in the ASOC and I have only met two so far

Hi Solent - do you know you only need to buy a new indicator/cruise control stalk and any VW garage/diagnostic specialist with VAGCOM can set it to work. Don't know the price for a T5 but a T4 complete switch is around £75 :D

..........Nice van by the way :D

Hi dandy

Thanks for that, I have been quoted £145.00 for fitting and talking to the ECU to accept it, by a firm in Portsmouth
A WV dealer quoted £330.00 plus VAT !!!!!
