Re: Coolant issue, low pressure tank filling up
Sorry to be a long time replying to this. With lockdown I haven't been playing with my camper much, and not checking in on the club either.
I took my van to Revesby Garage, who are VW beetle and van specialists. Lucky for me they are just up the road from me! They were able to take the cylinders off without fully removing the engine.
Replacement 'O' rings and re-adjustment of the tappets when re-assembled, and problem sorted. A lot cheaper than a new engine!

I went the other way completely! Re-con engine is in, just trying to get it running properly now. Let's just say I'm having a few teething issues!
