I had my Focus diesel serviced in March and the garage replaced the cambelt using a Gates kit. A tensioner failed early in May and the engine was damaged. The garage tells me there is an issue with these kits. Has anyone else heard anything.
Another question: how long should it take to rebuild the engine? Gates keep authorising small amounts of work and I still don't have the car. An "engineer" is coming from Belgium (or Germany - the story changes) to inspect it this week. Read more
I had a garage change my belt and tensioner on an old TDDI.
The pump went shortly afterwards. £1300!...
If I get 2 MOT Certificates within the space of a month, the first a pass, the second a fail, does the second one automatically supercede the first? Read more
Just buy a new rear numberplate - quite cheap - and drive without worry.

We're a tv production company with 4 young drivers and we're ready to buy our first company van, second hand! The boot needs to be of decent size to fit cameras, tripods etc in, but as most of us are under 25 we are looking for one in a low insurance category. None of us have ever bought a vehicle before but this is what we've got so far.
Looking for something like a Peugeot Partner Teepee 1.6 HDi 90 (as recommended by Honest John!) or a Citroen Bellingo, or a reliable car with a decent sized boot (maybe a skoda fabia?)
Budget is about £3000 - £4000
If we get it from a garage, what sort of warranty should we be looking for?
How do we find one?
Any other (cost cutting) tips for van newbies?
Insurance?
Any other vehicle suggestions or advice regarding warranties you have for us would be valuable as well.
Thanks

At the weekend I was following a newish Range Rover TDV8. At a traffic light, I pulled up behind it, and noticed that the interior of both tailpipes was a very visible red.
I chuckled, but then started thinking: is it the police's job to stop and inspect road vehicles that they suspect of using red diesel, without paying the appropriate tax? ... Read more
It may of course been a painted tailpipe trim - mine is painted gloss black inside.
