For the related products, I needed something different than the basic default Product image and name, so I have an override which pulls through the name, price and View Product Details button.
The only thing that I need now is to pull through the product image.
Here is my override code:
<?php

$model = new VirtueMartModelProduct();
$calculator = calculationHelper::getInstance();
$currency = CurrencyDisplay::getInstance();
?>
<div id="related-products">
	<h3><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_RELATED_PRODUCTS'); ?></h3>
	<?php
		foreach ($this->product->customfieldsRelatedProducts as $field) {
			if(!empty($field->display)) {
			?>
			<div class="related-product">
				<!--<span class="product-field-display"><?php echo $field->display ?></span>-->
				<?php
					$product = $model->getProductSingle($field->custom_value,false);
					echo "<h4><a href='$product->link'>$product->product_name</a></h4>";
					$price = $calculator -> getProductPrices($product);
					echo "<div class='PricesalesPrice'>";
					echo $currency->priceDisplay($price['salesPrice']);
					echo "</div>";
					echo "<a class='view-product-details' href='$product->link'><label>View Product Details</label></a>";
				?>
			</div>
		<?php }
	} ?>
</div>
Any ideas of how to pull through? I'm using Joomla 2.5.24 and VM 2.6.6.
Kind regards

$model->addImages($products);  ?
Thank you, the image url is now getting pulled through but I'm having an issue trying to display the image. If I put this code (below) it pulls through the url and displays it as text on the page:
echo $this->product->images[0]->file_url_thumb;However if I try to put it within an img tag, it doesn't work and errors the PHP
echo "<img src='$this->product->images[0]->file_url_thumb' alt='$product->product_name' />";Any ideas?
			
 
			
			
				can only be a simple syntax error
as I don't know what $this->product->images[0]->file_url_thumb looks like I can't help
escape a " etc in the url?

Sorry I was talking rubbish, it was pulling through the thumbnail for the product that you were looking at (not the related product).
So I've added $model->addImages($products); to the page, what else should I do to actually display the product image?
Cheers
			
 
			
			
				then it should be in your $products object - echo it out to check
			
			
			
				I've been looking for this too! 
You where very helpfull, I took your code and added the "missing" code (by quering the db) and show up the photos for each related product. 
Also I've added this (http://www.gmarwaha.com/jquery/jcarousellite/#install) to make it spin..
