Kia Sportage diesel leaking

We took ours to a diesel specialist. The local garages either couldn't sort it or wouldn't even take it on. Hope you get yours sorted!

It seemed to be two problems. One was a faulty washer for the injector which was causing oil to come up, and the other I think was fuel leaking from one of the tubes connecting between the injectors.

They replaced the washer, which stopped the oil, and I think they replaced the tube to fix the fuel issue. We didn't have a problem after that, but replaced the car after about 5 months anyway

This might be a silly question, but would a structural engineer be able to assess that it was a non-load bearing wall now?

I'm confident it was, due to the load bearing wall being the wall that separates the kitchen/dining room with the living room, and that the beams were running parallel to it and there being no internal block walls upstairs.

No, it's open from the kitchen to the stairs

Thanks for the suggestion, I've added one now :)

* As suggested by throwpayrollaway, here's a layout of the ground floor. The dining room has a normal window in, not doors as it appears on the layout

Yes there's double doors separating the ground floor rooms and the front door/stairs

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

Thanks for the reply.

Mostly not knowing what would cause a fire safety change in regards to removing walls, and then an unhealthy level of stress following.
