    transit van stall when stop or slow down to change gear

    I also think the symptom might be caused by the EGR valve as perfect driving on the motorway. However, I am a bit worried that it could be cylinder scuffing, since the van has been burning oil for a long time, probably long before I bought it. I haven't taken the van to a garage to check yet

    transit van stall when stop or slow down to change gear

    The service was done last October or November, but only the oil was changed. For some reason, the mechanic couldn't replace the oil filter because it couldn't be unscrewed. The engine starts perfectly fine. There used to be smoke with a bad smell when starting, but recently the smoke seems to...

    transit van stall when stop or slow down to change gear

    My van is a bit old, with 189k miles on the odometer. It has had issues with the gearbox and has been burning oil for the last two years at least since I bought it. Recently, it has started to stall when I stop to wait at junctions, slow down to a crawl, or at roundabouts. It drives perfect fine...

    holes in chimney breast at loft drug by drug gang

    Don't assume it's just condensation. I might be worrying too much as I've noticed quite a few chimneys on my street that also lack capping. The problem is that if the structure has been damaged, any water entering the wall could exacerbate things, even if the holes have been blocked off now

    I followed the roofer to have the pots removed but neglected to ask how he block the chimney in the beginning. Additionally, it started to rain two hours later. I now regret this oversight.

    holes in chimney breast at loft drug by drug gang

    I instructed a roofer to conduct the repair work assuming the holes had been blocked appropriately. There is actually no cap on the chimney.

    Thank you for everything. Apologies, I'm very busy dealing with the nightmare. Essentially, the chimney is not in use. The two fireplaces in the living room have been blocked off.The venting pipes were layed by the drug gang. I haven't finished removing them completely. However, I noticed some...

    holes in chimney breast at loft drug by drug gang

    Hi, I'm seeking advice on how to block four large holes dug into the chimney wall after the house was converted into a cannabis farm by a tenant. I've noticed small amount of rainwater coming inside through one of the hoses used by the group for ventilation. I'm wondering if it's okay to block...
