- Van lifers find out the cost of a new engine for their luton camper van conversion (Citroen Relay)
It's a tough pill to swallow but it's something that we have to get on and do. But definitely the biggest cost so far doing vanlife in the UK #CitroenRelay #VanLifeUK
Here is a Food Bank organisation www.trusselltrust.org/
A homeless charity that does work in Britain is Shelter, they have been going for a long time and a few quid might be enough to get someone off the streets during this cold spell we are having. Here is the link england.shelter.org.uk/donate
There are a whole list of homeless charities in the UK here www.charitychoice.co.uk/chari...
NEXT VIDEO WILL BE ON SUNDAY AT 9AM
We have been travelling full time in our luton camper van conversion for (and previously a Ford Transit), doing full time van life for almost two years in the UK.

Here is the conclusion as to what happened in the end with our campervan, it was good and bad news th-cam.com/video/-RQecinIGA0/w-d-xo.html
Feeling so sad for you both. But Liam, I burst into tears when you thanked us for wanting to help you with donations and told us to give it to the homeless people. You are a wonderful couple. I, and I expect other viewers do feel as though we know you. I don't know what else to say. You are both truly good ,kind, selfless people. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas you really deserve it. Xx
thats such nice comment ur right great couple
Amazing couple. Good people. I love them even more now.
Thank you Amanda, much love ❤️

Really sorry to hear the bad news, and think it is very noble of you to request donations to the homeless. I hope the repair goes well and doesn't take too long. This is too late for you but for anyone relying on their vehicle in the way van lifers do I would encourage them to learn a bit about the mechanics of vehicles and their maintenance, and read the handbook thoroughly. It is not difficult, if you can teach yourself video editing, etc, then it is no more difficult. In this case the key information would be to understand what the red oil pressure light means. If this comes on it means that the engine is no longer getting the oil which is needed and you must immediately pull over and turn off the engine to prevent serious damage. If not, without oil the moving parts will quickly overheat through friction and weld themselves together resulting in a seized engine.
Yes, one of the worst decisions car manufacturers made a long time ago now was to remove the oil pressure gauge. Oil warning lights are notoriously unreliable (in as much that they dont provide an indication of a small reduction in pressure which could be indicative of an imminent and catestrophic failure so that, often, by the time they come on, its almost too late! But... ignore them at your cost - literally. Kia kaha guys - it will get better - your amazing positivity and resilience guarantees that! Respect.
Is there no low level oil light on these?
How did the oil level get so low? Do you check it?

Hi guys I’m so sorry to hear of your situation. My husband is a mechanical engineer and he says this is a very fair price xx
Yeah we have heard similar
Yes because I was thinking about £10,000 TBO all in, & just shows the mileage done by a vehicle has got nothing to do with good or bad luck ?
Im a mechanical engineer, I personally think that price is OTT, also as for the van being brand new its not. The chassis has still done the millage even if the engine is rebuilt
@@markGSI this van was bought with only 50k on the clock that's low for a diesel.
So pleased you’re coming to terms with your current situation! I’m sure everything will turn out ok! ❤
WOW I was blown away by your unself gesture at the end of the video. To think of others at a time of your own dispair is heart warming, Respect.
Super sad to hear the news especially this time of year. Wishing you both the very best! Such a sweet humble couple. 🫶🏽
💚🙏
You have an amazing attitude. This year has been so rough for the two of you but you have always tried to stay positive. I wishing that next year will be a fantastic year for you.
I am so sorry for what happened to Morgan and you both .I love your positivity . Sending lots of love. Enjoy Christmas and wishing you both a Happy,Healthy 2023 xxx
Love you guys, you are both beautiful people inside and out. Wishing Morgan a speedy recovery so you can continue your life's journey. Big hugs to you both.x
Sending you hugs, so sorry this had happened to you. Love your positivity and finding the silver lining in this situation. 🤞 all goes smoothly for Morgan and you get to have the Christmas you wanted. Love your channel, it’s content and you guys are just so lovely. Keep living the dream and take care 💖🤗🥰xxx
Wow - you have certainly faced a lot of challenges this year - and you manage to always see something positive. I’m very impressed that you have asked people to donate to homeless shelters instead of you…that’s very generous. You truly are good people. Thanks for making the world a little better for everyone…I for one greatly appreciate it.
Agreed. Liam and Janine are such kind selfless people who always think of others ❤️
Thanks guys, happy Christmas 🎄
I too have great respect for @those happy days for wanting donations to be given to homeless charities - the only thing I can do to thank you for your compassion is to subscribe!
you guy's are really cool the way you handle things is spot on,it's great to see two people with such a great relationship
You both are so wonderful . I am so sorry you are going through all
Of this heartbreaking but even in your time of trouble you have said to donate the money we were willing to send to you to give it to the homeless he are a hero.
I hope things get sorted take care we all think you are both so wonderful,kind,caring and happy. Xx
Feel so bad for you xxx but speaking as someone who has been through this you will feel better soon xxxx and respect too the pair of you for not taking the money off people I was really hoping you wouldn’t like some van lifers I used to watch , times are hard for all at the moment and you both just cracking on doing it yourself I soo the right thing to do xxx merry Christmas guys
Can honestly say you've both gone up even higher on my books. What an amazing thing to say & do after all you're currently being put through. So much respect for you both. Here's hoping things starting heading on the up for you both very soon 💜
🙏🙏🙏
That’s very kind of you. I hope you get sorted & I look forward to you getting sorted. All the best.
How kind of you to divert the money people offered you to the homeless.What a wonderful gesture.Enjoy your Christmas both of you.
I love the fact that you want people to donate to homeless charities, instead of sending money to you. Just to say that, yes, I sent you a little, but I always support a homeless charity anyway, so giving to you was just a little token. A sign of appreciation for all that you share with us, and unity, having written off our caravan many years ago while we were in France. I remember the sick feeling not knowing how we were going to get home, or pay for anything. We overcame all the issues, and ended up absolutely fine, as I know you will too. Fingers crossed that a new, improved Morgan will be your best Christmas present ever!
Sorry to hear your bad luck. I will stay tuned for next adventures!
11:00 you two are truly wonderful.
That was so refreshing to hear your response to offers of donations. Thank you.
I hear your pain but also your positivity shines through, making the best of a difficult situation. Will keep my fingers crossed dor you that it all happens before Christmas.
Very cold and snowy still in Gloucestershire too.
❤️ donations to homeless charities such a wonderful gesture!
I have you both in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 much love to you both ❤️
Wow, I am so moved, guys. You are both fantastically kind. Big hugs. You always have a place to stay when you come to Sweden!
I have been OBSESSED with all your videos and absolutely love the way the both of you see something positive in even the bleakest of times. This would of broke the strongest of people. I really hope everything works out in time for Christmas and you guys have the BEST time together as you always do ❤
Feeling sorry for your both, hope you get the van sorted ready for Christmas, that is so kind of you wanting to help the homeless, so are so kind Merry Christmas 🎄
Class act Liam,brilliant speech.Hope everything gets better for the both of you.❤️❤️❤️
Thanks mate
I can see how that figure is soon reached, it’s a lot of work and labour is going to be a big chunk of the total. Blessings to you both I hope you’re back on the road soon!
Great gesture and donating to the homeless. Thank you for providing links below to do that.
Well done for taking such a pragmatic approach to your situation - and what generosity of spirit. Wishing you well in whatever next steps you take x
The two of you are absolutely phenomenal. The fact is this. Even during your time of plight you put others first I commend the pair of you and your prayers 🙏 will undoubtedly answered
Classy move, respect to you both. And best of luck with the van.
Hi guys
Nikki and I have watched every video you guys have made with lots of enjoyable viewing. We are of course, gutted on the van news after all tou have been through recently, BUT this evenings video has made us look at you both with absolute credit and respect for not wanting to accept donations but for all your avid viewers to donate to the homeless people especially now in these harsh times.
WHAT A NICE GESTURE 👌
Top couple x
Good Morning, last week I was checking You Tube for nothing in particular and came across you guys. It's been lovely getting to know you guys through your content. You seem to be some of the kindest, sincere and genuine people on here. All that said, I was so sad that Morgan is going through this. But as always you look on bright side and it warms my heart to hear you being positive. Hope things work out and you have the merriest of Christmasses!
So gutted for you both - but so uplifted by your generous and unselfish attitude. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the universe will reward this,. Take care, sending you both much love ❤️
From sprout sandwiches to expensive new engines, you definitely know how to bring the Christmas time jeopardy to our screens. I really hope the work gets done quickly with no setbacks and you are back in your home in time for Christmas, but even if not as you say your van will be as good as new by new year and you’ll be able to have many more adventures in it. Telling people you’d rather they donate to the homeless instead of to you was a lovely ending to the video and shows you have good hearts. I really wish you all the best in getting Morgan back on the road again.
Great positive outlook. It is going to be NEW. LESS worry.
Happy trails guys your going to feel more secure traveling.
I'm trying not to cry watching this. I'm so sorry guys, so close to Xmas and as someone that lives fulltime in a motorhome I can only imagine how stressful and upsetting this is for you both. Take care and know Morgan will come back all shiny and new. Wishing you both a Merry Xmas and a fabulous 2024. ❤️
I'm a retired Social worker and I applaud that you two prefer that everyone donates to the homeless this Christmas. It's very selfless of you both to think of those less fortunate especially this time of the year. Given your present set of circumstances with Morgan it's even more impressive that you would opt for helping others first. You two keep me in touch with my lovely homeland as I tune in to your travels weekly. I have a very good feeling that you two will have some great luck coming your way. Who knows this could turn out to be one of your most memorable Christmas times ever. Love to both of you.
Best wishes to you both. In trying times you are still thinking of those less fortunate. The world needs more people like yourselves.
It would have been so easy to ask for help yourselves from your subscribers, but recognising that others are in greater need than you is just pure class. Spured on by your video, I have donated to 2 charities that help the homeless this year. I wish you both the very best of luck with Morgan, and look forward to watching more adventures next year. Stay safe!
How kind and honest you are. So many channels request money but in the midst of your trouble you are looking at others. All will be well and despite the cost you will have a virtually new van. I really enjoy your content, we used to have a van before my husband died, so I understand the stress of problems but the beauty of travel. X
You are both so humble and gracious, and through your troubles and discomfort, you think of others less fortunate. That really brings a lump to my throat. You are so right about those poor people sleeping on the streets in this awfully cold weather.....they really need support. Thank you Liam for being a leader and light bearer, in a world that is too often selfish and self-obsessed. Blessings to you both xx
💖💚💖
I feel your pain…so difficult at this time of year…blessings you are safe. Take care
What a lovely gesture you made when you said you'd rather donations went to homeless people! Your hearts are definitely in the right place, and may the very best of good luck come to you and stay with you over the holidays and throughout the coming year.
Liam and Janine sorry to hear that yous have been dealt this cost for Morgan but a lovely gesture donations make such a difference to a Homeless person and agree if we have each other and family we have everything we could ask for wishing you both a Merry Christmas and a brighter New year 🌲🎅🦌🛷 🏴
What a great attitude Liam and a wonderful gesture regarding helping charities, total respect 🙏. Hope you still manage to have a wonderful Christmas x
Don't worry, we will 💚
Hope you do too 🙏🧑🎄
Still talking about you both this morning, just full of admiration the way yous have handled this. Have a merry Christmas and Happy New year guys. Would love to meet up one day ❤x
Respect to you both, I thought you’d go with donations to help you out but you have restored my opinion so full respect to you both 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sorry to see this sad news , what a beautiful gesture from followers and more so for your request to support the homeless charities..
Let’s hope you’re back on the road soon and have a merry Christmas 🎄.
Look forward to 2023 you will put this all behind you then once you’re back doing the things you love . Take care ❤ P x
Thank you, happy Christmas 🎄 💖
Gutted you’re going through this, you’re such a lovely couple and so kind of you to ask that any donations be sent to the homeless, much respect, ❤
Glad you checked around and like you say could be the other side of the country and cost and everything . sounds like you have found a good place so fingers
crossed that it is done quick and you are back in your home as soon as possible .
I'm so sorry this is happening around the holidays. Thank you for what you said at the end. I've worked with homeless people, and many die in the winter. Thank you for your generosity even though you are in difficult circumstances. I will say, once you have an engine, it opens up possibilities.
🙏👍
Really feel for you guys, having had a few big costs in our camper van, which isn’t our home, I can only imagine what you are going through.
You are showing true positivity and grit and I know you are both going to get over this and good decision not to cut corners. 👍🏻
Wish you well 🏴👍🏻
So very sorry to hear your news❤
Thank goodness you are in the uk x
Take care of each other xx
Love your attitude to what life has dealt you, You grieve, cry. worry,, but in the end.. things become obvious. Love the caring and sharing and paying it forward to people less fortunate . You are both still young... so Karma has a great way of coming around when you least expect it! Look forward to your next video.. Chins up!
Sending you both big hugs. I'm sure you'll be qbke to look back in years to come and have a little smile about this. Lots of love and hopefully you get van back before Xmas ❤
You two are a breath of fresh air, so unselfish even in hard times for you both, well done.
So sad to hear your news. What a lovely kind gesture to encourage people to donate to the homeless charities instead of yourselves. You are such a lovely couple and I hope you can have the Christmas you were so looking forward to. Love your positive spirit and enjoy your videos so much. Merry Christmas and I hope you have a much better New Year. ❤x
Omg y'all are so sweet!! Even while facing these challenges, you say no go help these others. Wow I might cry lol
❤️You've quickly become one of my top favorite TH-camrs (and not just because of that) Stay safe, say warm! Much love from 🇺🇸
Ah love you guys 💚
So sorry to hear this sad news really hope things change for you both. Wow there are some lovely people about especially on here. Xx
God bless you 2 ! Damn. You made me cry. Sending serious prayers, and positive vibes. Happy holidays.
💚💚💚
Such selfless and kind hearted people. Merry Christmas. Wishing you well for 2023.
Happy Christmas 🎄
Huge respect to you both , as one who did try to encourage you to reach out to your subscribers , you have my deepest respect for not doing so . Hope you get it all sorted and that your back on the road as soon as possible . Love to you both .
Considering their net worth, I think they absolutely did the right thing. I respect that.
I have said it before, and I'll say it again!! I truly hope you're channel goes viral and you gain tons of viewers!! The integrity in this volg is impeccable❣️👏 im looking forward to Sunday already, Stay safe and warm both of you 💚
Ah you are so kind 🙏
What a lovely gesture re donations which is very apt during Advent. Good luck guys x
Good people a lot of TH-cam van lives would be going cap in hand. Respect to you both. Best wishes for getting the van sorted. I've just donated £5 to the salvation army happy Christmas 🎄 💜
That's amazing, we really appreciate it thank you 🙏
Hope everything turns out well in the end for you both.
Thank you 🙏
It's inspiring to see you both being so resilient in such circumstances.When you reach the other side, you will be stronger for it.
I have total respect for you both pair of you been through so much and for this to happen to you before Christmas and you so wanted to have your first Christmas in Morgan what knocks you down just makes you get up and make you stronger and make you fight harder don't let it get it to you to much every one of your subscribers are here for you and what to support you in any way we can please have faith and I will be praying for you all goes well
Trouble is ,, is the gear box next, or the diff's, I would do a real good check over to make sure you're not throwing good money into a bad cause.. Good luck.
Well done to you both, that unlike many on TH-cam, you are thinking of others & highlighting the plight of Homeless people in this bitterly cold weather & encouraging people to donate to their very needy cause, while you are both struggling with the problems with your Van. Hope you both manage a lovely Christmas regardless & hope Morgan is repaired speedily. xxxxx
Thank you 🙏
You are absolute stars. All the best and I hope all goes well. It’s not been easy for you but your still making the best of it. ❤️
Poor Morgan and both of you 😢 hope you’re reunited before Christmas!
Very sorry to hear about your engine failure, I'd advise you to check your oil and antifreeze level daily especially on a new/recon engine... Its great that you are both not feeling sorry for yourselves and realise some others have worse problems.. You're a great couple and amongst the best regarding van lifers. Keep positive. 😊
Thank you so much for suggesting that people donate to the homeless what a wonderful wonderful gesture it shows your character thank you.
So sorry to hear about your engine trouble. I hope it gets fixed fast and smoothly. Your comments on giving donations to homeless people who are in real need impressed me and motivated me to leave this message. I'm glad that social media benefits from the wonderful example of such kind people as yourselves. You deserve 100X karma in return. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪
What a selfless couple you are a tremendous gesture at this time of the year when it would’ve been so easy to accept the offer of financial help 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼.. so hope you get Morgan repaired before Christmas 🙏🏼
What an absolute ball ache! So sorry this has happened to you. Poor Morgan having open heart surgery. Hope they get it back to you before xmas.Sending love and support to you xx
Haha open heart surgery love it!
Having watched a lot of your content, I had a feeling what was coming at the end and you didn't let me down. Fair play, good luck and happy christmas to you both.
You definitely made my day guys. Thanks for your honesty and for being mindful of others less lucky than us.🤚
I'm thinking of you both and I want this to get sorted for you by Christmas and you get back to what you enjoy again
I will donate to a homeless and food bank charity …. Thank you for the update …. Fingers crossed for you both that Morgan is back to you before Christmas x
Thanks so much for doing that 🙏
You are very sweet and very generous. I'm glad you are able to find a place to stay and are getting Morgan fixed. Thank you for considering the less fortunate.
You’ve really shown your true colours here.
Genuine concern for others is a scarce quality and it’s refreshing to see!
You haven’t had huge luck in your 2yrs of van life but I believe that the universe is always teaching us and you two are showing the universe that your hearts are good and you can get through anything, always looking for the lesson, always looking for the light.
You already know that having each other is the blessing and you’ll move on with this hiccup as a distant memory.
I hope you get your home back for Christmas ❤
Liam and Janine, you are both such an adorable couple. Even at a time of financial crisis you accept the situation and move on. Instead of asking for help towards the cost you unselfishly defer any donation to the homeless. This world would be a far better place if more people had your empathy and love towards their fellow man.
You really are top class people. What a marvellous suggestion re donations. Your resilience is immense. Utmost respect to you both.
You have a heart of gold to see that there is more going on in the world / on the streets 💛 ✨️ 🙏
I can really sympathise with both.I had a similar experience with my Jeep in South Africa.Had to replace theengine at a cost of R13.000.00 That was a hell of lot of money in those days (Twenty years ago) Hope all goes well.Happy Christmas.
things have a way of working themselves out sometimes but I can definitely sympathise with you guys, I had a similar problem last year with seized injectors in my van and it was going to be a few grand to put right so had to part ex it for a new van, take a loan out, was a difficult decision as i need a van for my small business. I just went back to work part time to earn some money to pay off the loan, there is a way round everything.....keep going keep smiling
Feeling so sad for both of you, hope you both have a great christmas, you both deserve it ,
What an incredible gesture at the end. God bless you both.
Like everyone, Im absolutely heart broken for your troubles. Having said that, you both are amazing and have high spirits during such a low time. You are an inspiration for us all and have such loving and charitable hearts. Fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle. Get well soon Morgan :-))
That was awesome to ask others to donate to the homeless! You’re so right. So many people don’t have familes. Thank you.
🙏
So sorry to hear about your van , with both of your positivity I'm sure you will be back on the road before you know it . Such a refreshing change to hear that you won't take any money to help with the repairs ( so many other you tubers do ) such a great gesture to ask people to donate to the homeless instead . I don't follow many TH-camrs anymore but I love watching you two , so natural in front of the camera and you tell it how it is . Would love to see more of your cooking in the van as it inspires me , one pan veggie cooking in our van is the way forward for us . Happy Christmas to you both and stay positive 😃X
What a bummer :( So sorry that this has happened so close to Christmas, you don't have much luck at this time of year, I can remember the disaster you had at Christmas near Castleton running out of Gas :( I hope you get sorted quickly and are back on the road soon. Try to have a great Christmas, I'm sure you will make the best of it like you always do.
Oh how sad but I'm sure with your positive attitude you will get through this what a lovely thing to say donate it to the homeless xx
🙏
My total respect to Liam. How refreshing and heartwarming it was to hear him request donations be made to those he felt were more in need than himself. That's the true Christmas and Christian spirit on display. Don't worry about the cost of the repairs Liam, your heart is pure gold.
So sorry that you are having a difficult time with Morgan. Just want you to stay safe. How beautiful of you to care about homeless people and turn down the opportunity to crowdfund. Big respect to you both. You will be looked after by the universe. I recently had a boiler breakdown and my house was arctic. Neighbours and friends turned up to help. Bess you both.x
Sorry to hear about more troubles, but massive respect for not taking an easy way out with the offers of cash. Such a nice gesture to direct people to those less fortunate than most of us, and to be honest I think you dodged a possible bullet of negativity, which can sometimes happen, even with the best interests. Hope Morgan gets sorted soon, im sure you will have a great Christmas anyway, remember you've always got each other. Peace and respect. Keep smiling xx
what you have to remember is, this is your home, you own it. whether that's brick and mortar or a van, there are costs are associated with home ownership. you just have to take it on the chin
Oh guys, what a nightmare! Even with all this you still end the video on a positive spin, way better than I ever could. I applaud you and I'm keeping everything crossed for a speedy fix!
Thank you 🙏
