Thanks for watching and your support...we are going through a pretty tough time right now trying to work things out, but will update you when we know how we are going to move forward ❤
I’m gutted for you both. It’s seems as though Morgan was jinxed from the get go… these things happen for a reason though so keep your chin up guys. Those happy days aren’t over so hang tight until the storm passes and you’ll find your silver lining. Much love to you both 🥰
There should be a warranty?
We've just said the same thing,gutted for you both. 😢😢
❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔
No words x
Sending big hugs ❤️
So sorry to watch all your problems with MORGAN! Knowing you two I’m sure you’ll bounce back soon. Lots of love❤
Hi guys.. 2 things: 1 - try going back to the garage who fitted your reconditioned engine. I would just tell them that their reconditioning work wasn’t up to scratch? Worth trying. 2 - Morgan is a Luton van. You’ve spent a lot of time and money on converting the box. You don’t want to lose that. The beauty with box vans is that you can remove the box and fit it onto another platform van. It is possible. That’s exactly my reason of doing my Luton van conversion. There are options. Keep your heads up guys. Plans fall through. It’s normal. You’re young and healthy. Plenty of time to do what you want to do! Good luck.
I’d definitely get on to the garage that did the engine. You have a good reach so I’d use that to your advantage and name and shame them if they’re not helpful or give you some money back. You’ve had two mechanics tell you the pipe alone was done wrong.
Didn't that engine have a warranty for a certain time period or mileage?
Totally agree with the comment 1, there does seem to be a issue with the fitting of the hose, that in turn has caused all these problems. You should not be facing these issues having spent 11K on a new / recon. engine so recently!
100% the garage that fitted the reconditioned engine have complete liability here! Effectively the van even sat unused for 3 months so they have a lot to answer for! Good luck getting it sorted either way 👍🏻
You’re right, they need to go back to the garage where they had the engine fitted it shouldn’t do that being a new engine or refurbished engine. They should sort it out for them.
If I had the time I would help them out and do the engine, but I haven’t got the time. I know what it’s like to take a head of a engine
Your first port of call is to get onto the garage who fitted the engine. If they won't take responsibility and repair you go to trading standards and even small claims court.
Hi its down to the last garage that replaced the engine, I would sell the van and get a new one.
Get away back to the garage that fitted the engine, not acceptable
Definitely go back to the garage who fitted the engine, speak to them and explain the issue, get the van to them to be repaired, if they play hard ball get trading standards involved ASAP. Hope you get it resolved soon.
At 11,000 the mechanics shop who fitted your engine is on the hook.
Request your warranty be activated. Head gaskets are not that bad, cracked head is another thing..
Didn't you also have your radiator changed recently?.the mechanic that changed your engine should have caught any compression points if they rested the new engine at all..the pressure and temperature in the rad would have shown, youd be filling it up every few days if the hose was craccked...so if it's a cracked head the engine installer may replace it.
I feel for you both...id look into getting a nice comfortable campervan
Hi guys. So sorry your van has broken down again. I'm a mechanic and my advice is contact the garage that installed the engine 9 months ago. It sounds like they've badly routed the top hose causing it to rub through, and that's caused the head gasket to go. That's 100% what I would be doing, Hope you get it sorted x
I agree. They should at least carry out any remedial work free of charge. Hopefully just the head needs a skim
@stevendavis7079 everything carries a minimum of a 12 months guarantee. Parts, labour everything.
I think it's only been a few months with their new engine..
RAC are absolutely rubbish
@stevendavis7079
Unfortunately, I think they'll get out of it because Liam didn't notice the temperature increasing until it finally tripped the emergency stop engine warnings. By then the damage was done!
Although the garage caused the coolant loss due to poor hose routing, I think they'll put the blame on driver error for not seeing the rise in engine temp..
To be fair though, not many of us would!!
I had the same happen to me but instead of going abroad on a adventure I spent months doing overtime and Saturdays to pay for my repairs.
I wonder how they can afford it all they plead that it's a disaster then spend the next three months having a jolly around India
@@bevclements3328Easy. They are receiving subscriber/sponsorship promo money from YT.
Didn't your new engine ( 6 months old one )have a warranty with it? That garage has some explaining to do!!Gutted for you both 😢😢😢
My heart broke when I heard about Morgan. The garage who fitted the reconditioned engine should be fixing this problem. Hate seeing you both upset, especially Janine. 😢 Sending you both a warm hug, and hoping Morgan is fixed soon. Fingers crossed. 🙏🏽🩵🙏🏽
Speak to an old school mechanic. People think replacing the head gasket is a bigger job than it is in reality. Make sure whoever fixes it has a torque wrench. Different story if the overheating caused the engine permanent damage. Honestly replacing a head gasket is not a complete nightmare.
Everyone saying the same, but warranty or guarantee for the engine install - also accountability for the incorrect pipe placement. So gutted for you both, praying you get this sorted and are able to still get away for your trip 🙏🏼💚🙏🏼
Yeh there must be some recourse for a not very old replacement engine surely?
Definitely an avenue that should be pursued. If the last place has bodged it then they should be at least part liable
It seems that there has been very little driving and so almost no stress on the new recon' engine and so for it to need a new head gasket already is genuinely shocking.... the garage that sourced and fitted it need a serious talking to immediately Liam, honestly bro, this is terrible!!! 🙏
Pretty much echo everyone else's comments, though, to be honest I have little faith in French vehicles. Even so, there must surely be a guarantee on the engine, and yes, whose bodged up the hose. Have to say I was also pretty unimpressed with the RAC leaving you stranded at an inadequate garage, and dragging things out to get you moved to a better place.
Horrible place to be, don't envy you one bit, but hoping for better news next week. Good luck and try to stay positive.
@@MrHotsnakes it's then proving that! It'll be a them and us argument. tears!!!!😪😪😪😪
What a bummer - have you made a complaint to the garage who supplied and fitted the engine ? If they have routed the top hose incorrectly then it’s a poor workmanship issue that has caused the coolant loss and consequential engine damage. It should be coved under warranty and if it was a repeatable garage they should be covered under their liability insurance. Hope this helps ?
I have decades of experience of resolving garage complaints. If you actually want to get it sorted and try and have no further costs to you get in touch. I can explain what you should do. I've resolved worse problems.
Make sure you get the garage to check the egr cooler. I am a mechanic and have seen a lot of miss diagnosed vehicles thinking it's headgasket failure, and it's the egr cooler. It's a common problem on that engine about £500 job
Really feel for you guys. I would be contacting the garage that fitted the recon engine. Hope to see you both in better place in the next video. Good luck
Same here 11.000 quid surely you would have a warranty ??
I thought there'd be a warranty too
£11,000 for a reconditioned engine that only lasted 6 months?? Wasn't there a warranty.
Finally someone picked up on this. How inngods name did they drop 11 grand on an engine swap? If its a Relay an engine is 3k max and maybe 2 for fitting. Someone has mugged them right off
The engine is not a brand new one it is an old engine that was reworked. Also how the hell did it cost you £11000. You could have got a brand new crated engine for less than that.
Oh Janine I really felt for you when you said you didn’t think you wanted the van any more,it’s so disheartening after having a new engine recently, hoping for better news soon, chin up both of you ❤❤❤❤❤
Surely the engine will be covered under warranty but what about a canal boat, restful and peaceful. All good luck and love ❤❤
Sorry about Morgan guys, gutted for you both :( Stay open if you can, something better is coming xx
Hi please please please look at consumer law and if you paid the garage with a credit card.
No matter what the warranty says the engine has 2b fit for purpose.
Re the credit card if you paid for any part of the engine works with a credit card the whole amount is covered please don't ignore this fact the credit card company is also liable
Feel for you guys its just one thing after another. My first thought was "warranty " even with a recondition engine. I reckon liam you need to be calling them up and discuss this issue, that pipe was too close ...youve put a lot of money etc into morgan its heartrendering, hope you get sorted. ❤
Oh no. You have no luck.I feel so sorry for you. Is there a warranty on the engine? I hope you manage to get it sorted and go ahead with your 5 week adventure. Stay safe and happy travels xx
After I watched this video I watched the video I turn to when things appear calamitous - “Everything turns out, All roads open” and dedicated it to you. You are blessed, you are loved and you are so appreciated by so many, including me. I look forward to your next video to see how things are turning out for you. I expect it will be good. ❤
really sad to hear about your troubles regarding the engine.
wishing you and your mother all the best .
So absolutely gutted for you both. Heartbreaking 💔
At some point (soon!) your luck IS going to change, it just has to, right, and things will fall into place and finally make sense.
Until then, we are all behind you, supporting you and sending you both any extra strength you might need🙏❤️
Didn’t the new engine have a guarantee or warranty?
^This^ The garage should of put a milage warrenty on it. If not stay the F away from that garage in future lol
Yes, you’ve done very few miles since the engine was changed I’d be going back to that garage and asking them to fix it. That shouldn’t have failed at this point unless possibly that initial work wasn’t carried out correctly.
It’s absolutely worth checking out that option.
So sorry for you both 😢
I’ve heard AA and RAC are rubbish. Have you tried Green Flag.
You guys were in India for months while Morgan was getting a new engine so you can't have done many miles, surely it's covered under warranty? 🤔
Warranty surely......
Oh, guys! I am SO sorry for you! The things that have gone wrong mechanically...I just can't even imagine. My heart goes out to you 😢❤
So sorry to hear about the van problems. I had problems with the oil pressure sensor on my motorhome and took it to RDH Commercials in Lewes. Only giving an alternative if the current garage cant help in time. These tough times will pass and make the good times more enjoyable.
Surely the new engine you had must have come with some warranty, can't you get the van transferred back to garage that installed it?
That's what I was thinking! For the money they spent,you'd think it would have!
I feel so sick for you. I felt every emotion you were both going through. Surely good times will be back with you cos like you said you have had a miserable time with vehicles, Morgan problem 1, India, and Ireland. You are truly at a crossroads, which way to go? Hope all goes well, take care and stay safe. Love to you both and may the road rise up for you! Sending you all my love xx🍀🙏💪
So sorry about this terrible news. Really feel for you both. Hope you find a resolution soon. Sending love and strength ❤
Absolutely gutted for you! Really hope this can be brought to a happy conclusion for you. Stay strong. Love to you both. Xx
So sorry 😕hopefully things will get better🙏fingers crossed xx
Oh guys! 😢 I’m so sorry for this nightmare you find yourselves in. Please look after yourselves. Life does seem to be throwing some crap your way. I’m glad you have each other for love and support. 🥰
The incompetence of some people is astounding 🤯 hope everything gets better for you guys soon 🙏❤️
Sorry to hear about your engine issue.
I have just been recovered from Cheltenham to Perth by the RAC after picking up some debris on the M6.
The debris shredded the tyre tread and the whole lot came through the mudguard, bottom panel, insulation, void, more plywood, mor3 insulation and the floorboards causing a big bang and huge hole, knocking the toilet for 6 at the same time.
Waiting workshop to carry out a estimate.
We’re all rooting for you, breathe, eat, and do yoga while things realign for you. Sending love 🙏🏻
Liam, whoever provided the engine is liable to fix it. It was not fit for purpose. Speak to the garage which fitted the engine , show them the RCV report . Speak to your insurance company and be guided by them. Sorry this has happened but maybe you can consider a smaller van to travel in which will be easier to deal with. Hugs to you both. 🇦🇺❤️💓🌈
Oh no. Liam and Janine,i feel your pain with your engine problem. Surely you should have a guarentee with the new engine that was fitted. 💚
I'm really sorry to hear this. I'm praying it's the least bad option. I'll be thinking of you and hope to see you on a more positive note next week. Good Luck. ❤❤
This is beyond sad news! I can’t comprehend how fed up you must both feel with Morgan. Hope you guys get sorted and back on track very, very soon. 😢. The more of the video I watched it made me weep for you both. Thinking of you XX
The main issue is you’re making that engine pull more weight than it’s designed to.
Everything crossed for you!! Stay strong and hang on in there!💚💚
Get a report from the RAC that the pipe was routed wrong then take the garage that fitted the engine to small claims court if they don’t help you WILL win 100% it’s fitter error !
We have been through almost exactly the same situation if we can help with advice please get in touch.
I have no experience of engine trouble, I just want to give you both a great big hug. You are so lovely , it’s just heartbreaking to see you going through such a horrible ordeal with your home. 🤗
Some time's the amount of money pumped into self builds you'd be better off buying a motor home kitted out with warranty
RAC gone so down hill with service
My boss one week ago, waited in e.suffolk from 10am to 7pm before rac arrived !
Yeah. I waited for 5 hours on motorways alone female. Very dangerous position on motorway. RAC….
Oh guys, what a nightmare. If it were my van I honestly would call it quits, it's been so much hassle from the get go and I don't think I could handle it. Surely at some point with problem after problem the joy is just gone? It sucks you're having to go through all of this and I hope you can find a path through that brings the joy back.
What a drama queen! Vehicles breakdown and can be fixed. The tricky part of Van life is finding a reliable van, which isn't an easy thing to do these days.
@@waynekavanagh745 have you watched their videos where they talk about how much this van has cost them in repairs? I don't think calling it quits with a van costing tens of thousands to repair in less than two years is being dramatic, but you do you.
Peugeot citroen are not good next it will be the gearbox with the excessive weight. Transplant the Luton body onto a Ford transit 😔
Please don’t think it is over, there are so many worse things that can go wrong with an engine, in fact a head gasket is not too bad a fix.
Ever since I got my campervan in December 2019 my mum went through a bedridden prolonged death and now my dad is going through the same thing so I’ve never used mine properly at all. Things in life don’t work out as planned.
It’s hard to 👍🏾 with such a lot of stress. We are gently pulling for you. May you stay strong and well.
Hi guys, hope you both ok, as can be, so sorry what you guys going through, you are welcome to come and stay with us anytime till your van is sorted , sending love xx
Oh no 😱 things have got to start going right for you soon!!
Big hugs to both of you.... actually, the three of you! Fingers crossed for Morgan and you receiving a huge secret donation.... ❤
So sorry to see that you are going through a tough time - sending lots of love and hugs 😊
So sorry, sending love and light to you both ❤🌻
Liam and Janine - Hope and Strength to you. You have 169,000 Subscribers due to FANTASTIC content. Just 7 pence each (Seven Pence) and you have a new engine. Crowd Fund it guys - why ? - Because you are worth it ❤. Love 😘 to you both.
why? The installer is liable.
Let's make it a £1 and they can get Morgan sorted, sell him and buy a state of the art mercedes 4x4 motorhome then, can be there forever home 😉👌
Can't believe it. Hope things get better for you both. You dont deserve such bad luck
I feel just awful for you both. I truly felt your sadness. I hope you can get some resolution regarding the fail of the new engine you only purchased 6 months ago. My heart & thoughts are with you both.... And Morgan as well. Best of luck Liam & Janine. ❤🍀❤
Aw my lovelies, I feel for you both, what a pain. Surely you have some comeback on the engine you had not too long ago? Sending love and positive thoughts , will be thinking of you until the next vlog. You are due some good luck guys xxx🤞🤞🤞🍀🍀🍀🍀
bit late to say now but when this happens turn off the engine but keep the ignition on so the fan can still switch on to cool whats left water wise & help cool the engine. This goes for older engines. Newer ones may have a override for this to happen anyway. This might help someone down the line.
Horrible news and so sorry to see you going through this again. Full time van life is a tough gig and your experience shows that it can be a wild roller coaster ride at times. This trouble will pass and one day you will smile at what happened. All the best to you both ❤️
My heart really goes out to you. Such terrible luck. I have just lost my van (Ivan), my home as he just kept breaking. Its so hard to deal with when its not just a weekend van and its your home. I am now in temporary accommodation through the local council as Ivan giving up on me left me homeless, so I really hope you can find a solution to continue what is, when things go your way, an amazing life on the road. Best wishes :D
bless you guys, thank you for showing warts and all. we all love your videos and we send you all the best vibes always. Your luck will change you are good people with big hearts. Big love Xx
I'm so very sorry to hear about this horrible news! I think the folks who fitted the reconditioned engine may have some responsibility in this. Thank goodness you have each other for solace and comfort. If it were me, I'd have to face it alone, which I've done before - a very similar situation (with my car when the timing belt broke). I remember how overwhelmed I felt praying, praying. I feel your pain viscerally, with tears in my eyes. Sending you both love and light. ❤
I would definitely be bypassing the EGR Cooler first and retesting, before pulling the engine apart! Seen way to many misdiagnosed head gaskets on the 2.2 for this reason..
So sorry, feeling gutted for you. Sending love and wishing you luck xx
So sorry to hear this I hope you get it sorted soon
Hi guys, I'm really sorry to see this happening again, I did say that when you got Morgan, if the running gear is no good, you can always put the body on a different chassis cab. I know what happened wasn't directly because its a Modern vehicle but modern vehicles don't last, if this had happened on an old Ford cargo it wold have been fine after fitting a new hose and refilling it with water. Now you can drive a 7.5t. I would look to fit the body on an old school chassis cab, I don't drive or ride anything under 36 years old, and most are over 40. I'm currently restoring a 1955 bedford rl 4x4 ex army lorry for massive overland adventure in a year or so, the truck has only had brake and steering upgrades the rest is original and i intend driving it for many thousands of miles and it will do it. If you want to discuss some ideas, please get in touch, I won't be offended if you think I'm raving mad.
I’m gutted for you guys. I’m not materialistic, or money orientated, but it’s times like this I wish I was a millionaire. I’d sort this for you if I could. I’m so sorry guys, I hope good news arrives soon. I’m praying this gets sorted xxxxx
Hi both - The solicitor on LBC radio programme last night was discussing these sort of cases. You need to contact the installers for which you parted with a ton of money - quote the “Consumer Rights Act 2015 “ then discuss the “ careless installation “ issues if they don’t come up with a salvage plan. This solicitor is always pushing for payments to be on a credit card for all the usual reasons. I’ve gone to small claims courts a couple of times in past if all else fails. Once on a not “fit for purpose boat” on a private sale; a neighbour whose tree fell on my van and I was told by him to fork out on my insurance for repairs, not theirs. I won both times. This 2015 Act seems to make life easier than it was back then. Sorry to go on, but you both are too nice to have this sort of thing take over your lovely lives. Jen x
I am so sorry for what has happened Guys .Heartbreaking .for you both . Sending love and positive vibes 💚💚
OK. Think of it this way. If your boiler, radiators, roof, sewage, drainage, guttering, etc etc needed replacing on the house, or if your car, washing machine, dryer etc etc breaks down, then one just has to get on with it. 11K disappears pretty quick. You were looking for a cheaper and freer life but now you are getting a bit of pushback, some of that due to your own lack of experience and planning, and some of it down to over-reliance on the trust in other peoples work, which can’t be guaranteed these days. Life is not all smiles and we all pay for it in different ways. My advice: plan for the worst and hope for the best. You’re quite lucky that Dad doesn’t mind you parking your house for free by his gaff whilst you were about to whizz off on another jolly. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a van guy (long in the tooth now), but I do know what a spanner is, and how to daily inspect an engine. The last greatest episode was dismantling the starter motor and gearbox in a carpark in a rainstorm. So, whilst I’m wholeheartedly in favour, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. I wish you the very best. You will get through this. And you’ll be wiser.
Good grief guys! I am so sorry! What a terrible thing to happen after all the other challenges you’ve had with that van. I’m praying for some good news for you and hoping you’ve got some kind of warranty on the previous work carried out or some insurance cover. Sending great big hugs and lots of love. My heart truly goes out to you both ❤xx
So sorry to hear about Morgan. Sounds like the new engine was poorly fitted....but bugger!! Things will turn again, keep your spirits up 🙏🙏
I'm so upset for you !what a terrible time you're having. Hope things improve and big hugs for you both x
I am so sorry to hear of your troubles, seems like one thing after another. I hope you get it sorted one way or another soon. Love to you both, stay safe. Loving the shirt Liam, very psychedelic.
So sorry for you guys. I hate to see people cry, you can see how upset Janine is in her eyes 😢 Liam will look after you 👍 I know he’s upset too, but he is so positive he will get his head round it all soon I’m sure. I wish I could have Liams outlook ❤ this is just an unfortunate bump on the road, but I’m sure you guys will come through it stronger ❤
So sorry for this to happen to your van, hope you get some good news
Absolutely devastated for you. Surely the work you had done previously is under warranty?
Sending love and positive thoughts.
So sorry your struggling with Van's, I e watched you for so long, can i suggest a boat? Canal living is such a great place and something i think you both might enjoy?
There are a lot of downsides to canal living as well. And new regulations about not being able to use traditional fuels
Praying for you guys,also sending nothing but positive vibes,and lotsa love!
I am so sorry to see you are both going through so much of worry with your van.
My heart goes out to you both.
I just see Janine in tears and you worried and angry is heartbreaking.
I can’t believe you’re both going through all this because you haven’t been in your van that much in the nine months either .
I hope you can find an answer as we love seeing you in your van and all your adventures .
You are so beautiful people. Take care stay safe and sending you both hugs and cuddles as you are so brave . Xx
So sorry for you two lovely people. It's difficult to be positive during this time with Morgan. I believe with somehow with plenty of support you will be back on the road with your plans on track. 💯💙❤ love from 🇿🇦 to you guys in 🇬🇧
Isnt there usually a 1 year or 12,000 mile warranty on a recon engine ?
Small claims court job that. Dont let anyone else touch it though.
Absolutely devastating for you both! I really feel gutted for you! Surely the new engine that you had fitted must have some kind of guarantee or warranty? How many miles has Morgan travelled since you had it fitted? I really understand how Janine is feeling - I would be exactly the same. Big hugs and I really hope that things work out. ❤ xxx
Hi guys. You've just started coming up on my feed and I'm now subscribed. Iv been living full time in my van since August after a seperation. My first winter now. I feel Your pain as my van has just failed it's MOT with a list as long as my arm.. It's a 20 yo vivario So it's starting to make me realise that you need a back up plan and emergency funds to cover the worse case in van life. But not having a perm home somewhere can feel daunting.
I will now binge watch the next lot of vlogs to see how things work out. Wish me luck with my MOT work as she is my home on wheels like yours is to you. Keep smiling 😃
Best of luck 🙏🤞
They can't pressure test it with a patch on the old hose as it will always boil over as it won't hold pressure. New hose then test. The video suggests they tried with just a patch on again. The system has to presurise to prevent boiling over.
First, I'm so sorry for you both. Second, you don't see many Morgan camper conversions. I think there's a reason for this. Get rid. If you have a warranty on the refurbed engine, use it. Then get rid. If not, review your options. Keep making your great videos - its your talent and your income. I'll keep watching. Thanks.🤔
Gutted for you both
My heart goes out to you both
Hopfully you can get on your trip
And that the van can be fixed at reasonable cost
❤❤
I'm gutted for you guys...You both deserve so much better...I'll be sending my good energy and best wishes your way!..
So sorry - hope it all works out for the best. x
I don't understand why you guys aren't mentioning going back to the garage that fitted the engine?! Eleven grand?! I would be camping in their forecourt! I hope you guys get things sorted at limited cost to you!
If you check the oil dipstick & there's no water contamination it should be just a new house needed
I think you mean hose. but not necessarily, only if the damaged head gasket crosses over the water jacket.
Oh guys so sorry to see that Morgan has had another engine problem. Hope you get it fixed soon and you can get on your way again. Take care guys.
Really sorry to hear the bad news about Morgan, my thoughts and prayers are with you both. Xx🙏🫰🍀
Absolutely rotren luck. Unfortunately it is not an engine fault. Once the coolant was lost the engine will be cooking. The head gasket will fail. Its not always easy to spot either. The hose should never have been rubbing to cause a split. Its been fitted incorrectly if that proves to be the case. You will have come back with the garage that fitted the top hose IMO. Good luck
This is a really tough one for you and I can feel your pain. Glad you are both safe though and can work out a way through this. Hopefully the garage that installed the recon engine will do the right thing by you. I wish you the very best. Joe.
Sorry, to hear about the problems with Morgan, by coincidence I found this week the video clip of the guys that did the box conversion of Morgan. I wasn't aware until I saw a guy with a straw head and a familiar jacket + elegant lady, running around the high speed video, realizing it was Morgan being build! Even more reason to keep my fingers crossed and hope it all will work out for you guys, and you can finally make that trip into Europe!!
Sorry your having such a difficult time with the van,which is after all your home.I am sending you best wishes for a resolution soon.🙏🏻🙏🏻
My heart breaks for you both. If this is of any help I will tell you of a problem I ad with my car.....I was returning home after midnight when I noticed the overheating warning light come on. (No temp gauge in a Vauxhall Zafira) Stuck in the middle of nowhere 5 miles from home I put more water into the engine. Next day got a mechanic to look at it. Same thing head gasket, quoted me at least £900. water coming out of expansion tank.....I took myself to Halfords purchased a bottle of sealant costs about £40. This has done the trick for me. I think the product might be called Silver Seal. There are cheaper products but a waste of money. Hope this helps for you. Certainly saved me money.
I have been driving the car for a year now. No problems.@@derekallen3979
