Briano Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 still havent heard back about the van yet, got a phone call yesterday and they said its running like a bag of spanners and seem to think i dropped a valve. wont know for sure whats going on till they get back to me once i get it fixed the first thing i will be doing is a trip to brum to drop and swap whats left in the van. then upon return i will be getting shot of it as it hates me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briano Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Get a Hi-Lux and stick a 3SGTE in it :-) In fact, why not stick two of them in there Hehehehe I have been on the market for a dual cab hilux for years bud, but nice ones just dont come up here very often.....to many farmers up here spend thousands on MOT failure hilux's for pottering around collecting sheep still in the dark about the van too no idea as yet as to how bad it is I do think though its last ever journey is going to be to brum and back and then its getting sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briano Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Good News World got a phone call there van has had its head ripped off and appears as though a hydraulic bucket exploded causing the engine to cut out. zero damage cause to pistons +1 point cylynder head is being rebuilt +1 point new HG going on and another new timing belt and tensioner +100 points all for £250 , always pays to do your mechanic favours anywhere else and the above would be costing me close to a grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
