Total respect there, that job was difficult at the best of times especially on your drive but to carry on slogging through in the rain was totally epic. 👍
I did mine decades ago on a Ford 3 litre V6 engine and gearbox out on my own with no cover driveway AND it was snowing like hell, -4 C got the engine out in 2 days on my own but spent 3 days putting all back together and laying on my back frozen stiff trying to get the gearbox back in place as the splines were gouged.

Hi mark I have just been watching your TH-cam videos on you , and I must emphasis you ,changing your engine , on your Ford Ivco,you are to be congratulated on your energy and determination to get the job done and the cleanliness of your work-area while working,and thankyou for filming the process of your work . The van life fraternity are a giving community not takers and genuinely try to help others van people with there problems,May you and your family have many safe journeys in your van .All the best Mike,,,,,
i have to admire your tenacity, I changed a front caliper recently and had exactly the same last thought. Well done that was quite a job,especially working alone and filming it . Not sure I want to attempt mine even though I would love the finished standard👍👍
Epic. Awesome. I admire you for slogging it out and getting that engine change done. Also all of the other van build stuff, soooo much time and effort. Brilliant video, thanks 😊
WOW, to attempt to do this on your own is admirable to say the least = excellent job Mark - get yourself to a sauna and have a few hot toddies to ease that cold.
The bin didn't stick around to help did they 🤔😂, I wasn't feeling to good for a good week after all of that 🤮😅, why do I put myself through it? 😂🤣😅, cheers matey 🍻😁👌👍👍👍.

Thank you mate👌👍. Errrm there's 3 on the engine bud, part one of this, and burning oil I think I titled it🤔, basically the engine was smoking when I bought the van, but thinking it was just the turbo at the time (due to the symptoms), how wrong was I 😂. I'm down in Skeggy on Thursday, meeting up with the Boondockers 😎👍👍👍.
Impressive & inspiring! Very well done. Knowing that you have a solid unit under you and furthermore that you can problem solve and repair it if required is peace of mind I’d enjoy having. I just this Saturday bought an IVECO 35s11 2000 plate. I have a lot of work ahead. The bodywork needs a lot of TLC, engine has 111k on it. Let’s see what it has in store! Cheers, Luke (Sheffield)

What a cracking job you did there Mark, i definitely wouldn't have done the engine swap the same way on my IVECO, I would have build a temporary roof over it and askt my neighbor to do it😂.

And I'm glad I saw how to remove and swap the filter so I can do that myself ones more often. You're one of my heroes now, next to Greg Virgoe. Just a bit wiser then him. (you bought the best Brand 😁😁😁) No really, the chassis of Mercedes could make a bit of rust around the wheel arches a serious problem on the MOT. Whilst the ladder chassis on our Iveco makes a bit of rust on the wheelarches pass it like a F35 on steroids over the UK. 😂 I know mine did till the rust got as far as the supporting angles around it. Got some iron folded over them and it passed again😜 bit of zinkspray did the rest. Love to meet up someday, maybe on Camp Quirky next year, love to do that.

Hi mate, just wondered how to remove the fan clutch, any advice would be greatly appreciated, great video, I can now see how to get the front end off, thanks, Chris.
To be honest I only ever removed the full unit upon its mount. Isn't there one bolt that goes through the "Electro Magnetic fan clutch" and a large nut? You have to remove inorder to pull the clutch off 🤔👌👍.
what engine did you take out and what did you replace it with? trying to do something similar for my own iveco and i am struggling to find where i can buy the right engine
Got 2litre diesil ford transit mark6. Everytime I start it up.after 15 minutes she shuts of.have to leave tell next day.then same again.any ideas.ive replaced crank sensor.?
I've really enjoyed watching this series. Excellent! I'd like to get a van but unsure which to get... Daily, Crafter or Sprinter. Which do you think would be most reliable/easier to work on? Once I sell my car I'll be starting my own project. Regards from Burton on Trent 👍
Thank very kind of you 😉👍, I'd personally get the newest one you can afford with very little rust, low miles and with an service history, probably the daily will be the cheapest out of those 3, I personally like the look of the Crafter 😉👌👍👍👍.
Hats off to you fella, that's no mean feat doing that on your drive, on your own in the pissing rain with man flu. I pissed my self when you blow your nose in your wife's best bath towel 😂

I've really enjoyed watching this series. Excellent!
I'd like to get a van but unsure which to get... Daily, Crafter or Sprinter. Which do you think would be most reliable/easier to work on? Once I sell my car I'll be starting my own project.
Regards from Burton on Trent 👍
Thank very kind of you 😉👍, I'd personally get the newest one you can afford with very little rust, low miles and with an service history, probably the daily will be the cheapest out of those 3, I personally like the look of the Crafter 😉👌👍👍👍.
Hats off to you fella, that's no mean feat doing that on your drive, on your own in the pissing rain with man flu. I pissed my self when you blow your nose in your wife's best bath towel 😂
Haha 😂, Cheers matey 😎👌👍👍👍.
Sounds sweet as a nut you made it look all too easey. P.S. haven't you got a coat to put on in inclement weather LOl.👌👏😆
Haha, cheers matey, that was my inclement coat, soaks the rain up like an sponge 😅🍻👌👍👍👍.
Please I need help .I've got a 3lit iveco Panel van it's idling and not picking up rafs
If its coming up with the injection light you're going to need to plug it into a diagnostic machine to see what the fault is 😉👍.
Beyond nails......
Haha cheers matey 😉🍻👌👍👍👍.
Yes! Fucking brilliant.
Haha thank you matey 😉🍻👌👍👍👍.

Cheers matey 🍻😉👌👍👍👍.
Good job its not sprinter, otherwise you would have been better just pushing into the bin lorry that passed by.
Haha, I think they struggle, in just taking the bins half the time bud 😂😉🍻👌👍👍👍.
