Vans being fixed, but we’re breaking up!
Hi all - lots being revealed in this video, unfortunately due to being a year behind in terms of footage we’re bringing to UA-cam, it’s been hard to live a kind of double life, where other things are happening in our lives but we’ve not been able to talk or post about that because we’re still sharing footage from a year ago
Lots has transpired in our relationship, and so in this video I go over that a little, as well as what’s happening with the van!

Hey all, So the video about rounds it up, obviously we are very behind with the vlog (we recorded everything but weren’t uploading - a bit like whole world or nothings channel) and so if you don’t know, about 6 weeks ago we finished the van build! Woohoo. However, yesterday SJ turned the engine on and oil was pissing out of the bottom, until it was empty - she got recovered to a garage in Ayles...

Hey everyone. It pains us to put this out there. We’re so embarrassed and ashamed to be asking for help - especially so publicly on the internet but we don’t know what else to do at this point. We are both at breaking point and are currently stuck at Eds Garage in Aylesbury - where I’ve experienced the worst service I’ve ever received. We have no where to go and we don’t know what to do at this...

      @@davidjohnson5369 thanks for your empathic message!! Not all of our dosh has been thrown inside the van.. we were doing what we could and showed the van to three separate garages for inspections with suspect noise, NONE of them noticed the 3 bolts loose on the steering fluid pump which took our alternator belt when it loosened, which subsequently we had the money for. We also paid for regular services, our insurance, living etc and were on the CUSP of getting out on the road & taking up work opportunities we’d both been cooking up. But now we’ve gotta get this done, and yes I’ll admit, the timing is ruddy awful, we didn’t expect a £6-8,000 engine replacement on an 150k mile engine where it seems a random rod went and pierced a hole in the block. Not anything that could be prevented, the mechanics say. On top of that, it’s clear to see that both myself and SJ in our separate videos are at pain with asking for donations, because we recognise that it could appear we’ve been short-sighted and not prepared for this ‘freak’ scenario. If it was a 1,200 turbo I wouldn’t be asking. I could find that. I just can’t find 6-8k and know that the power of the internet and community can be wonderful, and have participated in it for others out there - so yeah, we came here and begged, if that’s how you wanna say it 🙄

    If there is no oil in the engine. You should never turn the engine on. Could just be the bottom of the sump has corroded, can be replaced. If its oil coming out the headgasket or a crack in the cylinder. You'll likely wanna buy a new engine. Repair costs will be the same if not exceed the cost of a new engine. Sorry to hear this has happened. ❤

    As a former mechanic I'd be asking the garage where the oil leak is coming from. However, they should NOT run the engine but look for the source of the leak, it should be obvious. In my humble opinion & going on the info you've given, the leak could be coming from: 1. your oil filter housing, 2. any loose oil feed pipes, 3. The turbo, if you have one, 4. The oil cooler housing. Without seeing it & I wish I could, I can't help more, which sucks.

      Yeah this is what we’ve been worrying about. They started the engine even when I told them not to they put oil in and then tried to start it. I think they made it worse. They’ve since told us it’s £7k for a fix and a new engine 😮😞

    Oh no!! so sorry to hear this- I can donate some money, and hopefully we can all club together to help you guys! all this sucks just before Christmas too. Are you able to stay in the van at least when they aren't repairing? (as its your home). Could be something as simple as Piston ring seals or a leaking sump (fingers crossed for you its that straightforward). 🤗 I love your videos and look forward to any updates from you when you have time 🙂

      It can be so frustrating. And to be honest I’ve given you guys sh*t in the comments before. But I’ve been there with broken vehicles and it’s the worst feeling ever. You won’t be paying £10k. Don’t worry about that. Even a replacement engine fitted (a good used one) is less than £5k nothings broken so much that it can’t be fixed. Chin up
