Very informative. White sludge on the inside of the oil filler cap CAN be from condensation if the van is only used for short runs, but I agree, it can be a sign of a blowing head gasket which is not unusual on old diesel engines that are pushed hard to run heavy camper vans up hills and on motorways. If you see white sludge, insist on a compression test which can also reveal a blowing head gasket.
Mind your back lifting those camper vans , or you could end up in hospital with the bloke who fell of the ladder in your other video ,ha ha thanks for the humour 👍🚐
Hey up, thanks, nice and straight forward. What a out the inside though, or the Habitation as my service engineer likes to call it as he hands me the bill?

No problem Alan we like to just focus on one part and keep it Basic.The inside is something we could do for you
If you were to sell this van would make good all the rust you pointed out? I am finding all these videos very helpful keep up the great work!!
Yes we would Phil
Thank you for watching 👍
@@TheMotorhomeMan That’s good to hear. At present that’s the sort of van my budget will stretch to.
Lol great video enjoyed it
Thanks Smithy 👍
Thank you very good tips 🙂
Thanks Julie nice of you to comment.
Another good and informative video . Are there any clues if the cambelt needs changing if there are no service records ? Thanks again . 👍🚐
No Eric you just have to change it for piece of mind.
Great information... Is it worth fitting an engine under tray on a new ducato motorhome?
Thank you Star.For what purpose Star ?
@@TheMotorhomeMan To protect corrosion to the cross member and engine sump etc?
I would wax oil all underneath
@@TheMotorhomeMan 👌 thanks..
What would be a rough price for this one after all works done for mot , thanks enjoy your videos keep them coming
Thanks Geoff its probably going to need a couple k spent on it by the time we have done inside and out probably £13k.
Thanks for your honesty on the things you do , and quick replies
Thanks Geoff any time.
Very informative. I am thing of just getting rid if mine to the highest bidder and forgetting about ever getting another campervan again.
Thanks Koby it is probably for the best cut your loses.
@@TheMotorhomeMan Your probably right. Not only have I let myself down but I have let my family down and I am finding it very hard to take.
I think you are a bit hard on yourself.Just sort it out.
@@TheMotorhomeMan I wish I could.
I wonder if you could help me . I am trying to find out what a second-hand Truma Frostair 1700 is worth as I cant find out anywhere.
I have not got a clue Koby never heard of it before.
@@TheMotorhomeMan The new ones are costing well over a £1,000 so I was hoping to sell mine to help pay for the van being done.
Yes more impressed each time I watch , great info well presented , you would have been a better choice taking over from ED CHINA, " great stuff."
Thanks 👍 Richard
