Good value! we paid £14k 5-6 years back for our POS Fermec which is half clapped out and has needed quite a bit of work to keep running.

One minor irritation on the JCB is that the ash tray flap is flapped out and won't latch back. Now I don't smoke, don't need an ash tray but the flap is in the way. Taking it out to see if it's mendable (it's not!) I noticed several numbers in the moulding.
A quick google revealed that a Mk1 Mondeo uses the same ashtray - eBay is providing a brand new one for a very modest fee

No puppies, just a pretty decent tow bar for the Discovery, ours must be the only one on the planet without a tow bar!Half a playful puppy?

Do a proper obd2 instead of the onboard diagnostic, then you’ll get some results

No.
Have the van taken to a garaged and fixed under warranty.
Plus the body work done as well.

Then why complain about the onboard diagnostic not working if you have a solution? Seems strange.
I would check both iacv and pcv Valves. But as always you have all the answers.

The main dealer has sent a report.
ABS pump failed.
Coolant pipe leaking, so lost water and cooked the engine.
Work started today, should be done with luck, by Tuesday.

After seeing @8ob's wee tractor last time I was up in his yard and my ride on taking a hammering doing some stuff it's really not designed for I picked up this last Monday. This was it the night (well early hours of the morning) I got back after a jaunt up to Durham to collect it, and a hitch-hiker in the form of @Nomad.
Then yesterday I acquired (again at @8ob's recommendation) a wee 4ft flail to go behind it. With the roller does a very nice job on the lawn and has just spent 5h today going through about an acre of 2ft high rushes. Ideally needed a bit more power but flail did a neat if somewhat slow job*
* Given a 180hp tractor with a hedger was struggling with the rushes I think the little 17hp 1220 did alright considering it was driving a 4ft flail.

A vehicle body re-aligning jig? Or the makings of an hydraulic press?
