Just MOT'd Jasper & passed 2nd yr running.
KAM Autos are in the Kembery trading estate & just moved to a higher bay on the same estate (just across from their previous bay) so they can MOT high top commercial vans, Birch road I think.
They have a 5 ton MOT ramp, that shakes to check for loose ball joints - a bit disconcerrting at first when stood underneath. It beats all those levers & bars checking the ball joints.
The owner Mike is happy for you to look underneath whilst he has it up in the air.
One of his mechanics has a white L400 Deli and knows his way around one.
They now have a decent customer area to sit, read & get a cup of tea.

BEWARE 
went in to have the front crank pulley replaced.. i got the parts from milners becuase they wanted £200+ for mitsi ones. fair enough
300 miles down the road my much loved Deli is now a write off. chain guide snapped.
relatively simple job bodged to the highest degree. of course no apology blah blah boo hoo |

Sorry to hear of your problems, but I am puzzled as to what work they undertook...
Is the chain guide you speak of, the cam chain guide ?
If so why would they need to touch anything to do with the cam chain when replacing a front crank pulley...
I managed to relpace my front crank pulley (the 2 part with moulded rubber holding it together at the front of the crank which drives all the belts, is that the same one as yours ?...), without going anywhere near the cam chain.
Is this just an unhappy co-insidence or are there other chains / guides in the mitsi that I don;t know of - as my knowledge is limited...

| Maybe they turned the engine over the wrong way whilst doing the job... |
