Hi all, Update so far - garage are suggesting that I'm wrong.

Hi all, Couple of updates for you; 1. Paid by plastic (with that in mind!) - have contacted my credit card and am progressing a case with them. 2. Cam belt was a new kit 3. No new bolts used 4. Sorry - don't have the Peugeot plate anymore....Try the garage in Bristol who probably sold it on! Will ke...

Sorry guys - forget the post about the photos of the head, mine didn't download last time but have got them now - thanks

Just waiting for a formal response from the garage before going any further. Thanks all for you're help so far.

As for the second point (and please excuse my absolute lack of technical knowledge!) - what smoke would mean what when I disconnect the breather (if there's any at all)? Also - is there any way th...

OK, so here's the saga so far. Bought a van with a 1.9 Peugeot 305 engine in it - ran fine. half way to Spain, engine fell out (poor mounting of the engine so it just sheared off it's mountings). Suggestions all around that a new engine needed - best go with a 1.6TD. 1.6TD bought and sent to garage ...

Looking to install some type of in line water filtration device in my T25 before setting off around Europe for 4 months - anyone any experience of what works well????
