Thanks for the replies. I won't mention who the garage were at the moment but they were recommended through the Bongo Fury site - I had a six month warranty but am not really sure what was done as it just says 'engine rebuild'. A bit more research this weekend and a return chat next week I think

HELP!
I've got a fully fitted V reg van that I've owned for 6 years - last year I was told that the head gasket had gone and the head was warped. I paid for a full engine rebuild and then had to have a fuel pump rebuilt, costing in total nearly £3,000.
I've covered less that 6,000 miles since the ...

However if it is left unused for three days or more it stubbonly refuses to start and takes a considerable effort from a jump start. I've been told that this ...

Thanks very much for all of your replies. The battery is brand new so i'm hoping that is ok. It looks like i'll have to try a change of glow plugs

Please can you help.
