[Murphy281]

Is fife a wee bit away from you where about are u Ned and hat would of helped a lot if it was possible thanks and I hope so aswell al be rite down tomorrow to say about the injectors don’t want to spend money on something that’s not the problem
Thnkas will have a look at them and see wot they can do for me will keep you posted on wots happin with my van Ned thanks for all your help

[ned]

I'm all the way down in winsford Cheshire so only a 5 hour drive N

[Murphy281]

Yes that’s a wee bit far for you to come with a set of injectors for me to try going to get a set out the scrapes an try then to see what happens then if it is that I will get a good set

[Murphy281]

Found out today that it is the fuel pump that is going in my van an there is loads of bits of metal blocking my injectors that’s why the van wasn’t going to start got told will need to get my tank drained an cleand and the fuel rail as bits of metal will be in side them so gona cost me about 700 pounds all in i was shocked when he told me that and don’t know if wot he is telling me will need to get done an it’s a bit on the high side

[ned]

Nah thats cheap, what's he doing about the injectors is the garage sending them for cleaning if so the price is about right, 450 for the pump plus 50 ish for injector cleaning and 200 for labour of fitting new pump and cleaned injectors plus fuel tank and system clean and new fuel filter, I have seen quotes of over 1200 for the job. N

[Murphy281]

Is that cheap braw yea a think so he said he cleaned one of them him self the boy that did it was a transit teck but now has is own garage up hear now so he is getting it all done but said price might go up if a need a new chain an tensioner he said he would check it for me and see if it’s been done before it’s done 179 000 miles but am glad I know wot it is now and will have it back Monday he said all fixed and running

[ned]

Good news then at least you'll have a fast van again N

[Murphy281]

Aye it so is that can’t wait to get it back an it sure will b fast again

[ned]

Race ya on a good day I can get 28psi of boost

See I was kind of right saying the injectors were stopping it starting, OK so the pump had filled them with sh*t stopping them opening, some might say its a lot of sovs to spend on an old van but what can you get for that money, nowt but rust and trouble. N

[Murphy281]

Your on al race you can do I don’t know wot I get how did you find out what ur boost is

Yea you where rite it was my injectors that was stopping it from starting an yea the mane couse was the pump brakeing down inside and he had it running but the injectors kept on clogging up an it was running like a peace of s***t

[ned]

This motley array keeps me informed on what's going on in the engine bay

The pumps a bitch when it dies and takes everything with it, I still say there good vans though many a folk hate them N

[Murphy281]

That’s cool like a wouldn’t know where to start to put something like that in ma van a would even settle for just the boost gage and the battery gage how long did it take to do that in your van

Yea it is is that an they do take everything with it an a love ma van bn wantin one for years an now I have got one so I want to keep it good

[ned]

Looks nice and clean van you have there, 9 seater? How was it to insure?

When do you get your van back?

Boost and volt gauges are cheap and easy to fit I started my van customisation about 4 years ago and still a long way off where I want it, doesn't help when things come up for sale on here that I think hmmm I like that N

[Murphy281]

Thanks an yea it is now that pic was it just been painted an it’s an 8 seater now I converted it I took the twin seat out the front and put the driver seat in it from my scrap van I have got if I didn’t change it I couldn’t get it on me insurance an had to get bus insurance an that was gona b pricey


I get it back on Monday

Are they braw I will need to look into that an get them done an have u bn at it fir 4 years an still not how u want it have u got much more to do to it an u can’t help urself when u c something an want that aswell

[ned]

I have heard a few tourneo owners having trouble with insuring them as 9 seaters I was looking at one for the Mrs but she bought a bloody Renault scenic bloody wimmin

I have a vision that keeps changing, the story so far,
