Multiple. They have a bad rep.

Heriothill, probably the worst garage i’ve ever used. Never again.

Nothing life changing, went through that last year.

Hi guys, van just failed the mot on a few bits but the garage doesn't want the work.

Any recommendations for a T25 friendly mechanic in Edinburgh?

Yeah, got my head around the job via James' video.

Found the cracked one lying by the rear lights. It is indeed  the Coolant Level Switch (Push-On Plug).

Is this it? Not sure if I need two parts.

From what I can see on this diagram it's a plug? Anyone know part number?

Few weeks before Xmas I was out in the van and it began to fill with what my wife screamed 'smoke'! Has been sat up until I've had a dry day to examine it properly. Just ran it for a few mins and indeed it appears to be steam spouting out of the expansion tank (slight relief). See pic, what am I mis...

Weird, used the PM system.
