and if so, any chance of getting it in the post guaranteed next day delivery? The engine is ready to go back in and the guy that's fitting it is going on holiday on Friday so the pressure is on..... I'm even prepared to drive to you from London and pick up if means I can get my hands on it quicker!

Stainless from Germany would be nice but the engine is ready to go back in. A little short sighted to go plastic again but I'm running out of time.

Jes... you happy to sell me one of those?

I'm also looking for one of these. Any luck JJ?

I might have to take you up that, I'll get back a.s.a.p. Thanks for the info.

The most I've done on my van is fit a new stainless exhaust, regular oil changes, changed a coil on the rear suspension, change coolan...

Good advice Paddy thankyou. bhpdub - thanks, let me have a think on that

Marco Mansi fitted my last one, I might try calling him although I get the feeling he's a busier man than he was 9 years ago, it took him a few months back then to complete.

Hi Time for a 'new' engine again, she's been a bit neglected I admit: Diagnosis from garage...

Just been reading a post by Post by nickthefish » Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:30 pm (sorry don't know how to link the thread) and I noticed the last comment by HarryMann says: "If it stops up the road randomly (between 1 and 50 miles), it might be (Vanagon Syndrome), just misfiring is not, use traditio...

Thanks - that's interesting... I replaced the Lambda a few years back but it's possible I've done 60k since then. I'll check.
