Re: Work on van
The mechanic at the garage did a compression test and seems to think its the head gasket has blown that's why it was running awful and had little power. I had a head gasket blow about five years ago and had a new unleaded head fitted. He is going to take the head off tomorrow.

Re: Work on van
After getting my van back on Thursday I used it today and the engine has gone bang after only thirty miles since it was restored. I knew I should have scrapped it.

Re: Work on van
I had to replace a side light bulb and put the rear door handle on the right way round and adjust the rear brakes which was alright when it went in. Just got to do a few repairs on it tomorrow.

Re: Work on van
I went to see my van and the cost is getting silly and he has done more than I told him to do.

He already scratc...

Re: Saluting good customer service
My van is having some body work done on it and the classic car restorer has got nearly all the panels from ESM and they are usually delivered next day. I also buy my parts from them.
