2litre duratorq DI.

I haven't got a problem paying for a proper diagnostics, b0D, but it seems anywhere that's got the correct kit are shutdown due to this poxy virus.
-
I read that last night, but I take most things on the web with a barrow full of salt. How's ya luck?, get a good few days of work and the fecking van starts playing up.

Was the filter housing cracked/split?

Yesterday I did a 120 mile round journey with a short stop about 3/4hour, on the way home the heater plug warning light started flashing, no loss of power, no smoke, drove just fine. The MK6 doesn't have an engine management light, the heater plug warning light doubles up as the EML. Got the van home with no problems, stopped the van, started it about 15 mins later and no flashing light, mate of mine put a fault code reader on it, no fault(s) found. The obvious would be heater plug(s) has failed, but after searching the Transit forums there seems to be a whole load of things that could bring the warning light on (flashing orange). diesel filter, crankshaft sensor, blah, blah. Anyway, this morning was a cold start, it took longer than normal for it to fire, t'was cranking fine. Any ideas apart from start with the cheapest parts first?

Try Swift electrical in Newmarket, Dave the owner isn't there anymore, but he still owns and runs the company. If you don't get any joy with the lads I'll dig out Dave's number. Home WWW.SWIFTELECTRICALREWINDS.CO.UK

I had a morso squirrel on a boat, it certainly kept my 56' narrowboat warm/hot, except in the dead of winter on the cut, I used to fire up a webasto diesel heater on really cold nights to help the morso. That said, I don't like being cold when I'm indoors.

No end to your talents, Bolam.

No other word for it than bonkers. I've done a job today at a house, in the garden. This is a big pitch with electric gates, the bloke opened the gates to let me in and walked back in his house as agreed. I'm back tomorow to finish off, the same will happen then. It's easy to pick the phone up to tell him what's going on.

It does look a shambles, but we've never experienced anything like this poxy virus before. I was just reading about a nurse from The Royal Free Hospital in London, she wrote that she is on leave next week but after that she was going to struggle to get to work. The hospital have told them, no more car sharing, what's that about when they are working on the same wards ?, she also said the virus was getting so out of hand down the smoke that they are closing part of the next week so they can prepare for Covid-19 patients, all other treatments have been cancelled or moved to other hospitals. And they've told staff not to use the tubes that are still running because they are crowded with people.
-
No, both vehicles wrote off, shame because it was a good motor.
-
Yep, it's a good job (for them) he didn't catch them, he's always been a handy lad when it's needed.
-
Picture of what they didn't want out of the van dumped just down the road from my place.
-
It seems not, they must have some balls, I'd have thought anyone driving a van about late at night would be prime for getting stopped by the Police ATM.
-
That sounds like a good idea, mate rang earlier to say his van was nicked from Lavenham last night.
-
Slow here at times today.
-
Not the best picture, but ya get the idea. If you look closely the impact popped the sunroof open, the car ended up the bank on the right hand side of the Jeep.
-
He did a proper job on that one, I'll have a hunt for a picture of mine.
-
The one I had I had given to me by a lad I know, it's was tidy for its age R reg, it pulled a trailer well, and I can't remember ever getting it bogged down. I put some pictures of it on here when my ex missus got hit head on in it by some dick head speeding down a narrow lane.
-
It's a no brainier for me, work is slow everywhere, if there's work about in different parts of the Uk I'd be off. If I needed my work van rather than take the Motorhome I'd build a bed over my machine (which is fixed in the van) and sleep in there. This virus is unprecedented, needs must, and all that.

Roughy, have you got a local Facebook job page?, around here the supermarkets are advertising for delivery drivers, warehouse staff, admitidly it ain't a fortune, but with a bit of overtime you'd get somewhere around £500/week top of your ticket, not to be sneezed when things are as shit as they are. -
Started temp job to make ends meet for a while?

Think you've fallen on your feet for a few months and the rug gets pulled from beneath you. I'll manage, but out of savings I guess. -
Jeep Grand Cherokee, like that old one I had. Mine was rare being a manual gearbox.

I was supposed to start on a rip out at the local leisure centre last week, it got pulled on Tuesday morning, and the site closed until further notice.
