Hi All,

First posting on this forum, apologies if this has gone in the wrong section, but I'm starting to lose my mind trying to find replacenment part after mine fell off the underneath of my van on Sunday. Gutting as had just has had full service and check over done by good local garage which Monty has been going to for year and half now, I trust them. I had to replace a rear brake line, and reckon it was possibility this assocaited this work carried out on a now 21 year-old van, which could possibly have weakened the connections on plastic clips, corrosion etc that loosened the fittings for diesel cooler attached underneath the van.

Have attached a few pictures, the cooler fell off and dragged along the road until I could smell diesel and then my van broke down a couple hundred metres from my home. It was full of kit after doing a job too, and then started pissing it down. Fortunately, managed to get a neighbour to help tow it up the road.

Reaching out to anyone who may have a diesel cooler for a 2004 Expert Combi HDi from a vanm they are breaking ..?  Peugeot say they have none in the UK and would be a POA price coming in from France. Really can't shell out a load more on this after spending on the service and brake work.

Part no is 1759.EN

I have temporarily bypassed the mashed up cooler and connected the 2 fuel lines together and seal with hosing and jubilee clips, cable tying onto the underneath floor beams.

If anyone has a mk1 van they are breaking / has spares would very much appreciate getting in touch and can arrang payemt and delivery.

Need to use my van on Saturday for a job in London, so only have a few days.

Few Questions:

Would it be too risky to engine and components to drive the 50 miles in and out of London if I can't get the part,. without there being a fuel cooler ? 100 - 120 miles max
Was wondering if I could ditch trying to get a direct replacement and source an aftermarket one which has a similar amount of cores, volume capacit and dimensions..? I tried to gauge volume on the OEM cooler and it appears to be about 150 - 200 ml

Thanks in advance so much for any help you can give, hoping I can get hold of correct 2nd cooler in the next dayt or so and fit.

Cheers

Adam
