I would have thought that slackening off the adjusters might have got the same result. Also neo how is throwing away the drum retaining screws going to improve the problem. regards johnwr :lol:

Go to France and find a "Bricodepot" and they have digital satellite reciever and dish etc for not much money and they can pickup any satellite and any language you desire. They also have analogue sets for even less money. Have got 2 in our houses in France, gets all the free to air chanels on...

Accordind to my timing belt book, the 8 valve engine looks the same as the Vauxhall engine and takes about 1 hour. The 16 valve engine takes 2 hours. Will need to know which engine you have fitted. johnwr

I would have a look at the exhaust first, shake the tail pipe and see if that recreates the noise. johnwr

You can change the valve stem oil seals without taking the head off, you have to buy a special tool( not much money) it's fairly easy to do, might be best to get hold of a manual. This ought to help with the blue smoke. BTW the car will fail the MOT if it has excessive smoke. johnwr

I don't think that the Berlingo you have found is on Citroen range ,mine is the second smallest engine. BTW who's ranting now!!!! PS got several bikes already. :lol:

The Scammell is not a dump truck, it's what the british army us to ferry ammo are the battle fields. Had a drive in one about 8 years ago it was great, it would go anywhere, so would be ideal for Sainsbury's speed bumps or bouncing up the kerbs outside of the brats schools. I have a Citroen...

Moz you are going too small and common, they will need a Scammell Mountaineer. Now there's a wonderfull 4*4 or is it a 6*6. johnwr

Well said Supersparky. johnwr

I think you ought to read again what I said dellsmp. I said that the R R when carring out a brake fade test it only did between 5 - 10 mpg, the test consists of braking from high speed(70 mph) and then accelerating upto high speed again for approx 20 stops and fully laden, so to be able to carry...

I myself can't come to terms with people having Range Rovers et al, when the hardest bit of driving they have to do is negociating the speed bumps at Sainsbury's :lol: . I have nothing against people who live in the more mountainous regions of this country having 4*4s. It's surely not good for...

Hitachimad is right, but the job is very frustrating, you need to be as supple as a ballet dancer. You should have a look in a workshop manual, it will give you the info you need. johnwr

If you have only just bought this van from a dealer, I would take it back and get a refund, if they start to squeal then get in touch with trading standards and ask there opinion. I am surprised that the head needs replacing at such a low mileage, it might be that the main dealer is taking...

Thanks for the feedback, with regards to the light clutch action, this is normal when the clutch is replaced. I bought a new berlingo 3 years ago and when the car went in for some recall work they lent me a new berlingo and I was amazed at the difference.

I believe they are just heat shields, don't worry except in the summer don't park on long dry grass. johnwr

When you removed the grease cap did it have any grease in it, if it did then replace the grease with the same quantity and quality.

hello ratm, it's not a competition but it does help if you get your facts right and not your idea's of how cars should be wired up. There are a lot of drivers who are confused with a minimum of instrumentation so adding more lights would make it even worse. The warning light generally is only a...

Wrong ratm, spark123 is correct. This function is very common on most if not all cars. johnwr

The same happened a few years ago to some d*ckhead driving a HGV down the M1, he said he couldn't stop it and the silly plods believed him. Switching off the engine would have stopped it.
