Evenin'! Ambulance Crew looking for help. (1 Viewer)

Evenin' all,

We bought a converted 1997 Renault Master T35 Ambulance last year, we absolutely love it but it's fallen in to engine troubles recently.

I'm desperately looking for a second hand engine or someone to recondition/rebuild our engine. We're told it's leaking from the cylinder head, after having some injector issues fixed last week.

At the height of festival season, it couldn't have come at a worse time. I'm going to post more details in the relevant forum, but if anyone sees this and has any recommendations for rebuilders or any ideas where I could find a suitable replacement engine, any help would be amazing!

Thanks all!

Love the name.... very clever.

Unusually for a head to crack unless it's been run without liquid in the cooling system.
More likely the head gasket.
Still means a strip down and cylinder head skim with pressure test but better than buying an unknown engine with every possibility that it's no better.

The coolant kept disappearing, we filled it up on the last journey and she fell ill after that. Must have been empty for a while or the new stuff messed it up somehow.

I guess the only way is remove the head and get it pressure tested.

As I said, you may buy a knackered engine without realising it until it's fitted and running.

Done it myself with a mk11 golf engine....burnt more oil than petrol.
The old engine only burnt a fair bit of oil
