No.
Have the van taken to a garaged and fixed under warranty.
Plus the body work done as well.

Then why complain about the onboard diagnostic not working if you have a solution? Seems strange.
I would check both iacv and pcv Valves. But as always you have all the answers.

The main dealer has sent a report.
ABS pump failed.
Coolant pipe leaking, so lost water and cooked the engine.
Work started today, should be done with luck, by Tuesday.

After seeing @8ob's wee tractor last time I was up in his yard and my ride on taking a hammering doing some stuff it's really not designed for I picked up this last Monday. This was it the night (well early hours of the morning) I got back after a jaunt up to Durham to collect it, and a hitch-hiker in the form of @Nomad.
Then yesterday I acquired (again at @8ob's recommendation) a wee 4ft flail to go behind it. With the roller does a very nice job on the lawn and has just spent 5h today going through about an acre of 2ft high rushes. Ideally needed a bit more power but flail did a neat if somewhat slow job*
* Given a 180hp tractor with a hedger was struggling with the rushes I think the little 17hp 1220 did alright considering it was driving a 4ft flail.

A vehicle body re-aligning jig? Or the makings of an hydraulic press?

Ooh a porta power, or at least a porta power clone. Very nice

The first, but I am too tired to investigate further tonight.
Bean dwaling with a 18yo new engineer who thinks a 45 min drive to a job is the max we can do.
So a 3 hour drive to a call out was not fun.

Tractors are the best purchase, so versatile and an excellent brag when you become the guy who can pull someone out of a ditch or drive across a bog - marvellous!

Used to have a bigger one but was too big for my place. The intention of this one was to replace the ride on without being too big.
First and foremost it has to be capable of maintaining the lawns at my house which are about 4 acres worth and vary from sort of flat to a 1.5 in 1 (yes I did get that the right way around). The extra versatility is a bonus. All in this has probably cost me ~1/4 of what an equivalent sized new mower would have cost.

Today I acquired another digital phase converter, This one for 1/2 > 1HP motors, and a few items from Lidl. Just needed the left hand snips, but the price was cheap enough for the set. I have plenty of Allen wrenches, but opted to get a set with handles to make it easier on my arthritic hands.

I'm going to Lidl in a minute, are the VFDs next to the baked goods or in the middle?

Didn't get the phase converter from Lidl. Its not a VFD, just a straight phase converter as I don't need the variable speed drive. It will work for either my ancient Herbert surface grinder or Opus Die filer. I made up a box to accommodate both, and rather than hard wired them in; and have added receptacles to the box so that it's possible to simply plug in other three phase machines if needed.
