So victor the van has been sat through both lots of snow and cold. Tried to start him and starter motor lazy and just couldn’t get him too catch. Whipped battery off and have a it good long slow trickle charge. Back on and starter still lazy. Wouldn’t catch. Tapped up my awesome mechanic mate and we hooked our works caddy up for a jump start. Head pops out from under the bonnet as I’m cranking her...........’you know what sue bubbles in the diesel pipe means you dick?’ Must have parked it up on fresh air [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. Fuel gauge is faulty then! One gallon of dirty diesel and it still won’t start but at least the system is bled up now. New starter ordered as it was gettting hot enough too get a tan off[emoji51]. Least all the bits are getting ironed out now before we start to use him in earnest! New exhaust came on Friday so I’ll lob that on too when I can pinch my mates ramp for an hour!!

Mate you couldn’t make it up! What a knocker. It’s going down my mates place hopefully tomorrow. While he’s got it in the air he’s doing the cambelt and water pump and bottom rad hose and glow plugs as they’re all miles easier in the air!
