Mot has been and gone passed with no advisories that said id told the MOT tester what was wrong with the van in the first place most of which he said it wouldnt fail on. But the place i took it to is a regular customer and so seat full of parts and trust it passed.
couple of days later....
few niggles with the van that all mounted up to it being easier to pull the engine and do it all out of the van and tidy things up. so first up sorting the rusty wings not an MOT failure but rust spread so out it came and in went new. Welded on both sides and seam sealed. Bit of a comman problem on these vans due to PSA For some strange reason not seam sealling from the turrets forward.
Engine bay washed off
Seam Sealed
Then just to make sure undesealed the underside
Under sealed and painted up
So onto the engine side of things
Engine partially stripped to replace
Head Gasket
Steam Seals
Fire seals
Copper
Seals
Sump re seal
rocker cover seal
Crank seal fly wheel
crank seal aux side
cam seal HDi bolts
Basicaly new seals all round also replaced gearbox seal again
All built back up
Then all back together.
So engine has been running great but still had slight water usage. Which was one reason why i decided to do the engine overhaul. i did notice also radiator has slight leak so sorted a new one. Few Days Later still minor water usage but now a sweet smell and misting windows! so yup heater matric was an issue also suprisingly easy to do on these done with 3 hours
also while dash was out sorted the interior iluminations which suddenly had stopped few months ago
