Probably quicker to phone on Monday rather than mess about with all the updates on the new computer - once it gets started it will probably be merrily updating itself till 4.30am on Monday morning anyway!!

oh i never saw it i was confused

quick update the head has been dropped off today for a pressure test and skim £50

The block looks fine (so did the head ) the temp sensor plastic parts were melted away so it did get hothothot

fingerscrossed the test goes well then i can shove it back on and get rolling

just for the record ill be fitting a £35 pound gasket of ebay .They still have 5 Multi layer steel build ,has anyone had bad experience with one?

Just picked the head up from machine shop

£25 spent head is scrap cracked inside ,so back to the drawing board

just a quick update ,i have a replacement engine from damaged bongo camper conversion with fsh showing 60k on the clocks backed up buy a couple of mot's

was a real beut of a bongo , anyway agreed a price with the guy ,drove 3 hrs heard it running got it to temp checked coolant lvl waited for the bottom hose to get warm ,all great took the engine out he gave me the rad ,door window switch and some ods n ends ,then drove 3 hrs home

So ill put some pics up in the coming week of the engine change (if any interest of coarse )

good luck dave,sounds like a good motor.

Hi again long story but here's a quick picture

All sorted now ,drives so so nice and the coolant lvl hasnt dropped ,oil level is spot on !

So all in all an engine swap on a bongo , coolant bleed ,and now drives lovely .

£1300 for 1997 2.5td aft bongo 11 months MOT (Suspected blown head)
£25 head pressure test ( revealed blown head)
£450 for a 47k complete running engine ( From a rear ended 1998 camper converted white bongo)

All done by me on my own with the help of Bongo Fury forum so thank you From Me the wife and the 4 kids

So fingers crossed camping this year instead of the rip off £700 to hire a static caravan for a week in the 6 weeks holiday !!!!

Blimey!!

That previous pic shows engine out at 2.08pm & within 15 minutes you have it up, running & road tested.
