Same weather here Ian, tipping down now,the start of storm Diana apparently..
Still having horrendous trouble with this van, I had all the injectors replaced about a month ago with recon units,cost me £650 ,and it’s still overfuellimg. It chuffs out white smoke on cold start, which clears after about half a mile of driving, and it stinks of unburnt diesel. Going to try a French car specialist tomorrow, and see if they can throw any info my way. If not then after Xmas,I will be looking for something else of similar value, as I could go on spending money on this and still never get the fault rectified. I will lose a lot of money,best part of 50% of what I paid for it, and will be in negative equity, but will just run something else until the loan term is finished,then get a lease van. Can get a new Transit or Vivaro for about £180 p/m plus vat, get it serviced each year, and any repairs are covered under the warranty.
