On my recent trip up north I had an Ad Blu fault come up (21 plate Berlingo, 40K miles) took it to a mates garage, diagnosed as injector for Ad Blu pump, said once one bit goes, another does, and by the time you've replaced all the bits it's about £4K.

Can get them remapped for anything up to £400 which removes the need for Ad Blu and is not a factor in a M.O.T.

Cheers, D.

I’ve mapped a couple out, it need to be done right, you can’t just delete the ad-blue because dpf’s, egr’s and a load of other stuff start seeing different sensor readings and chucking up loads of different faults 

when I worked for iveco someone brought a van in that had had the ad-blue deleted it wouldn’t let me rewrite the ecu so it cost £3400 in ecu’s then the ad-blue repair, it was enough to write the van off but the insurance wouldn’t pay out on it so the company had to take the hit and pay the bill

Got some sandstone laid in between the snow showers, like most of my work, it looks better the further away you get

Wall finished and back filled, hedge pull out and a tree to open up the view, managed to collapse a drain with the digger so I’ve had to rebuild that and put a 40T cover on, got to divert the yard water into it on Monday when I’ve picked up some pipe and some 45’s ( £130 for a bloody manhole cover )

£130 ….mate … don’t know if you’ve noticed but they’re just left everywhere in the road and on paths …. I’d of just claimed and recycled the said item and saved some dollars … amazing what you can walk off with in a high vis , hard hat and clipboard 

edited to say , leave a bollard or road cone in its place so Doris don’t fall or drive down the hole ….

All councils should sack all the dossers they employ and just get themselves a Stav !
