I think I have some seats for sale that would fit in a T4

Thats a pretty damn open question... I bought one on behalf of my sister a few years ago and converted it into a camper for her... she has been living in it on and off in the Alps amongst other places.

She has the LWB 2.5TDI with a remap. It shifts. Pretty well built, drives well.

Only issues were the clutch peddle snapping off (bracket made of cheese) and all the wires between the van and the door snapping on both sides and VW didnt make them long enough...

T4 is getting pretty old now though.... If you can afford it.. get a T5

T4 is a good van. If your gonna convert to camper then t4 is most cost affective and better than t5

good fun, dont get the 1.9

the 2.5tdi responds very well to a remap

they make stupid prices round where I live, they are the trendy thing to own and drive

totally T4 is a company doing mods and rebuilds etc, silly people paying 10k for written off rebuilt vans with a coat of paint and some fancy alloys!!!

the LWB is better, only about 8" from memory but makes a lot of difference inside

but be careful and be sure to either watch your speed, or get it changed to a camper van, the last bank holiday weekend down here, the local plod were sat on the main road out of north Devon and nicking the T4's etc, regged as commercial vehicles and as such different speed limit
