[QUOTE="sharky71, post: 513133, member: 13974"] Thanks for the encouragement fellas,these are dark times for me at the moment,sort of a cross roads with regards to keep or sell. I guess over the last two years of troubles with engines and my emotional attachment have put the kaybosch on any enjoyment. I need to convince the wife and myself that it's worthwhile.The last two years the van has clocked up less than 1300 miles and all those were running the new engines in respectively,so it's been sat around not doing much but looking pretty. The only down side i can see in convincing the wife to keep it is that invariably it will need more TLC along the way with items i have not touched since ownership,like the steering box,suspension and gearbox were everything else is new or has been refurbished,otherwise apart from a recently blowing stock zorst (only got about 2 1/2 k miles on,kept in garage,how long should they last??) the van seems to be running fine on the stock setup although it did breakdown coming back from the MOT station after sailing through,turned out to be the centre pin on the fuel pump had slipped back and stopped the upward moving fuel pushrod from drawing fuel through to the carb,5 mins of head scratching til i saw the offending item and a pair of snipe nose pliers later we were on the move again. Once again thanks for the words and i will keep you posted shortly. Regards. Sharky. :sick0019: [/QUOTE]
