just had the garage on the phone,

they said its the handbrake adjuster that stuck can nt find a replacement, but that the handbrake is working? so over time could be a problem?

the push rods have to be broken to get the cam followers out?

asked him to put it all in writing for me how he went from doing brakes to the looking at the camshaft.

picking up van tomorrow.

Hopefully this has lost something in translation? If this is what he said, then a visit from Trading Standards is on the cards I would suggest.

So, what's the final end to this story - van back? Handbrake working?

Does it run still?

Cheers,
