It's a terrible design with no access and no clearance to pull the head. I guess with the right kit you could maybe rock it forward a bit but It would be tight as hell. Checked online and everyone says engine out for these 🤦♂️
Brilliant video Ash. Wow thats a big job taking the engine out of the van. Them lights look amazing. Its crazy how far battery technology has come along in the last year or so. Take Care Bud
What's the plan for your abandoned Iveco van and Marie's Iveco Van? If you're doing major work, wouldn't it be better to have either if these vans on the road rather than your fiat scudo?
We are actually trying to find out if we can put Marie's Iveco on Swedish plates but its proving to be a pain in the ass so far. I really want to get mine back on the road but I have to be realistic. Tax is 5500sek a year and it does like 18mpg. So hopefully we can figure out the small one and then I will buy it from her 😊
@@LostInEurope agree about being realistic. A member of my family sold their old car because it was £715 a year road tax. I'm paying £350 a year but it will be tax exempt in 2027. Around 30-35mpg. Perhaps some parts from your van could be incorporated like the mission control panel. Just a wild thought. If you went on van delivery jobs website in Sweden if they exist. Bid for a delivery job near to Britain. Drive Marie's van back to Britain for little to no money, then sell it here. Fly back to Sweden to buy a manual T4 1.9 TD (Abl) for maximum fuel economy and something interesting to film.
@@LostInEurope just checked conner (CJ) project amber's van. It has aMOT & tax (February this year) in Britain. Perhaps you could ask him about his arrangement

@LostInEurope I bet Citreon did that so they can Rob their customers !!!!
Ash I purchased a Fogstar for my van after you did the video on them. It’s been awesome, really performed well 👍👍
Glad you're getting on well with it!
Never knew that about batteries charging below zero, great info will keep that in mind for an upgrade soon
Summer is coming🥳

Here in Norway you see the bar of lights. Mine are not working but no needed at the moment.
Hang on what happened to Marie's iveco? Is that dead too? Or just not possible to get it back to uk to mot it?
