It's a lot but bit by bit it gets done, the carpet was only 20 quid but I've fitted new knob and carpet and a cheap bottle of armour all and a wipe down inside cleans it up nicely.

Underneath is solid in underseal or some sort of crusty thick resin, I'm a bit scared to investigate further :lol: next mot will be can't inspect because it is covered. :lol: I might wax oil inside the chassis sections and shutz underneath.

Mechanically mine is sound now, the side door kept slamming and banging on the latch, now it shuts nicely 8)

Strangely a tin of wd40 on all the locks and latches has fixed them, doors all open and close nicely, just need to paint inside with hammerite then carpet the place and 9mm ply the floor.

I want to get a tourneo interior but have the back seats only and a table in the middle maybe stowable like the camper ones

But my van is mwb so a bit harder I need a t300 t330 or something.

Few bits i need still.

Bulkhead screws.
Gloves box rubber
Rear view mirror.
Fusebox lid.
Right hand electric mirror.
Left trip stalk.
Tailgate and fittings.
Drivers seat if mint
Jack.
Spare steel rim or wheel 16 inches.
Full width side doors both low roof and glazed.
Etc.

I'd best shut up at this point. Two years and it hasn't run yet!

Mind you, it's been bloody cheap on diesel.....

Now see if get that either running or in the bin straight away, in other words I'm highly motivated when it comes to finding out what needs doing or to get 1 stage finished so it's ready for the next stage but that's when the arse falls out of it :lol: most things are half finished. I have 6 tiles to do in the kitchen from about 5 years ago :lol: :lol:

And the back step needs doing since longer than that. Oh and my recent stone tiling of the conservatory a few weeks ago has halted completely.

:oops:

I really hope I don't stop on the lair :shock:

Mr Andy I'd have hacked the engine, removed the mount, taken the timing cover off, lined the timing up, bypassed the filter had, fault codes and live data.
Bish bash bosh shopping list :P
Front end comes off in half an hour 8)

Is it fixed yet?

Ah, see, this is it: I've no lair to hide in!! And 'er indoors always has a massive list of shite for me to do. Right now I've TWO kitchens to fit and an old brick built tractor shed to knock down. That's without building the five stables that are in a rotting heap in the yard. I'm on holiday for two days now though: I'm off working in Oxfordshire so I can have a rest.....

Right so it passed both learns but isn't running right, it is surging at low speed and hunting on idle :shock:

I'm going to change the fuel filter and oil /filter, i may fit the old valves in to check that, don't really want to do another pilot though :lol:
