Could you not get your mechanic to sort out your tank connection Daz? Be a hell of a lot cheaper than your trip to Grippa!

id rather have it properly serviced mate...my local garage is great for basic jobs like oil changes,brakes,MOTs and stuff(cheap too!) but i want this sorting properly by the guys that fitted it......

That for a full service or one of those crappy “interval service” thingys?
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

3 day week this week as most of my work is up to date franky thats why i booked the van in for a service.... ;D

granted ill be taking a day off for the boiler service(long drive too,over 350 mile round trip)but itll be good for my diesel particulate filter and van to give it a good run out after all the stop/start journeys i do the rest of the year plus its piece of mind that ill get it done right...

Fair play to you Daz.
You've worked hard to earn it, so spend it however you want.
BUT...I'd be asking for a breakdown of costs!
500 squid to fix a leak that shouldn't have happened, and to service a system that works perfectly.
Perhaps i'm getting old!

I dunno, £80 for a grease monkey to change the oil
So £500 for a “full” service sounds on par

80 is still steep though as did that include filter and main dealer oil ?

Daz thinks it’s cheap - that’s all that matters 👍

Unless there is something drastically wrong with it it doesn’t need a service mine is over 4 years old done over 8000 hours and doesn’t need a screen and pin , it’s only a fuel leak change the fitting and it will be fine , it won’t need anything like that doing after just over a years use , you say it often enough yourself you only work part time , they are just selling you a service that it shouldn’t need , all the wabasto service centres I have spoken to have all said the same thing there is no servicing needed it either works or it doesn’t , they could have easily told me it needed a service and I would have been none the wiser , but they said when it stops working or gives off clouds of white smoke get a screen and pin changed then , doing it before is a waist of money , the age mine is now I would have changed it 4 times totaly unnecessarily

This is my point though Daz , I bet you don’t know what filter and oil went in , Euro parts prob , in which case a poor quality filter and the wrong oil , I speak from experience here , you have no problem throwing 500 at grippa maintain 4.5k yet you throw 80 down the backstreet garage to maintain what 20k all in
