Thought I'd bring this up to speed - we had both the E P hydraulic levellers,and VB air suspension fitted to the van [the latter to permit an upgrade in the plated weight to 3850 but as it turned out the van had been more or less resting on its bump satops anyway, so just as well we did!] The work was completed the day before we went on a 10 day tour round Belgium, and so it had a good workout.

The levellers are brilliant! On any slope you're likely to want to pitch on, they get the beast level and rock solid in a minute or so. And that's it! Van feels nicer, water drains away, no rolling out of bed, etc etc. We tend to think of our van as a hotel room on wheels, and the ability to level and stabilise it instantly has added the final touch. It's expensive, and couldn't really be justified on strict VFM grounds, but in all honesty I suspect the same applies to most of our van purchases. The work was done by Specialist Automotive Products Ltd, Unit 13 Wellsyke Industrial Estate, Bentley Moor Lane, Doncaster and I'd recommend them to anyone thinking of going down this route.

They were recommended to you as in my earlier post see below

Had ours serviced and the hydraulic oil changed by Mick Leightley in Doncaster who is an agent for E&P and VB Air Systems which are both manufactured in the Netherlands.
