The LEZ which stretches out to the M25 will from march 2019 require commercial vehicles to be Euro6, if that makes a difference to how much you put into it.

- Is the speedo, cable or electric? No idea and can't be arsed to google.
- They all do that. The gasket goes hard and the head cover is just flimsy metal over tightening and gasket going hard is an issue. It is the isuzu engine isn't it.
- Look up how to wash and clean the interior, seats and carpets. Or look at the scrap yards looking for one of the higher up the range astra seats and carpet to replace what is in side. Probably cheapest least hassle option.
-Trunk liner paint and forget. Or add some cheap lino.
-Tyres any good? Look at second hand alloys with decent tyres, maybe at a local breakers.
Think there is autovaux in romford for vaux parts

Just been given the beater van at work. 2003 1.7dti Astra, 72000.
To do:
-Speedo does not work, it’s been like that for years, app for now.
-Minor oil leak at top of engine
-Interior needs a good scrub as it currently stinks of fags, spilt coffee, trees and egg McMuffin.
-Panelling in the back is getting redone next week but might spray the load bed with trunk liner paint and get a fitted rubber mat as it’s pretty scuffed.
-Repaint wheels
She’s built like a steakhouse but handles like a bistro. Rocket ship compared to my polo and perfect bike hauler..
