Post: RE: Vivaro camper Van conversion

Nice work Cully, keep it up! Been following this a bit as I'm tempted to do something similar (more a day van style for taking the mountain bikes in).

Post: RE: VNT turbo squeal (GT2260V)

So thinking about this a bit more. I've not noticed any loss in power, and it only does it when warm. Based on that, I'm thinking it's more likely an exhaust leak, if it is a leak, than boost (warm ex...

Had a look at that already. No noticeable scoring in the housing, some radial play though but it is without oil pressure. Some axial play but not loads. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Always liked these, they tick all the right boxes - coupé styling, RWD, capable chassis. I love the idea of the rotary but couldn't live with the fuel/oil costs unfortunately

Nice, family have owned a couple of the 4.6 versions of these. Lovely things. Can't help but feel these always needed a more powerful diesel, not that I've had much experience of the 2.5. Cool thread.
