Got a three and a half ton bottle jack for free from work, found it buried while I was rearranging the corner of the shop where the long term projects are languishing as one needed pulling out. Has an Iveco sticker on it.

You'll just have to give up on it and get a modern car on finance...
I was thinking I'd just drop in the running gear from a VAG diesel...

Today I changed the coilpack on my transit camper.
Full power was restored, in fact it is more responsive than before and is a lot smoother.
I'd forgotten how brisk a 2.0 twin cam, petrol transit can be.
Good craic.

Is that the same 8v twin cam I4 fitted to late Sierras? I always liked how well mine drove when I had one years ago.

Yeah, same engine.
Slightly different cam profile for more torque low down but the same essentially.
It's a hoot in a Transit. Apparently, it'll do 110mph, so I'm told...

It sure is. Took it to the Assen Moto GP last year.
The coil went 3 days before the Isle of Man and I couldn't get one in time so it's been sat thinking about it's actions for a while now.
Glad it's fixed.
