Yep, I too hope it goes well for you. Do let us know (on this thread) how it goes.

Well so far so good, had a call earlier today to confirm collection tomorrow

Well she's been picked up, by a really nice chap. Fingers crossed I'll pick her up Saturday.cant wait now.

Well I'm off to pick her up in the morning, can't wait to get her back

How did it go? Any probs or all sorted

Well so far all I can say is a big to the elite boys. Very very complimentary about my van, spot on price quoted as well. They said it's very unusual for a van to come in that needed no extra work at all.

Ignition mod done different dizzy and and other bits not sure what mind. Only bad bit is I have to run on petrol for the first 500 miles.

I'm soooooooo pleased right now with her, no more crawling up hills, it's fantastic.

We've just got back as we stayed the night half way home in her, almost 200 miles done already and all seems spot on.

Great to hear! Now the 40yr rolling tax is back, its worth hanging onto them for a few years. New engine should do that. I only got 6 more years to go till no more road tax my engine has only done about 3000 miles so far so think he will still be going strong!

Nice one

Mines 84 so another 10 years till tax free.

Just been out and checked the engine out for and drips and the like. All looks good

EliteVW Put a new engine in for me too.

Engine runs fantastic, only there is a leak on the engine sensor, They said they will come out and change.

I will go back again if i need anything else.

Couple of positives then for Elite via Chris and Gary

Chris, I see from your sig, yours was a DF, did they put another DF in, or a DG ? (guessing DG because they changed the dizzy).

Keep us informed as to how it goes in the following weeks chaps.

No it's another DF, Mike (I think his name is) said it's something they've developed for the DF so there's no benefit in having a DG and the expense involved. I should have more power and slightly improved mpg. I'll have to wait and see to confirm that once the running in is complete and I'm back on gas.
