Small Ray of Hope.......

Today Jen found an engine on Ebay, its from a W reg Transporter, done 89,000 miles, and comes complete with the Turbo, have contacted the seller, and am hopefully meeting him on Wednesday to buy it, it will be around half the price of the recon, the seller swears it has no problems, he has heard it running in the van it was taken from, sometimes you just have to place your trust in people and hope they dont disappoint you, it looks ok from the pic, no sticky black marks around the engine, looks fairly complete, so with a bit of luck the camper will at least be running again sooner rather than later. I recently SORN'd it, as the MOT ran out last week, and TAX ran out the end of April, so once the engine is done it will need MOTing and Tax, then I can at least drive it again :). The conversion hasnt gone any further, I just cant get the motivation whilst its not running. But hoping soon that will change when its on the road again and to be honest, now the carpet has been done inside, just need to buy some bits and pieces and it wont be long before its a working camper.
