Ive got a 2002 1.9 diesel polo which has been running great for last year and a half but 4 weeks ago the fan belt came off as tensioner had snapped. Tensioner replaced and new fan belt fitted. new fan belt shredded within 2 days, 2nd belt lasted 20 mins before shredding! you can see when you put the...

Ok, so if its not the fuse where do i investigate from there?

Thank you for that, but then I need to get the cig lighter to work......
dont believe its the fuse as the stereo is still working and believe this to be the same fuse?

Oh dear! thats not good! any ideas how I can charge it instead?
Thanks for the comments.

My ciggy lighter socket used to work perfectly well, but after a friend fiddled with my stereo its now defunct! so at Vanwest last year one of the 80-90 members (think it was James?!) helped fitting one of the double socket/double usb splitter thingys direct to the leisure battery. Worked a treat ch...

When we got ours I was told I could get it made up in any colour - but it cost more - and I took in the pink I wanted and they mixed it up for me. However the colour card had loads of colours on and Im sure there was a silver there. Have you looked at the 'paint your wagon with a roller' thread? cos...

Thats cool, Thank you for letting me know....
no streams nearby, no place to refreeze icepax and warm cider is a definate no no!!
in my head it was a good idea!

We are going away for a week and dont have hookup, our fridge doesnt run on gas so does anyone know if the solar panels you can get are good enough to keep the leisure battery topped up of we are running the fridge off that? and if so is there a particular AH/Watt I need to buy?
Thanks

Agree with you about Burnbake, aload of 80-90's wanted a site where we could have an open fire, and Burnbake was the only one in that area, when we got there in the morning it was fairly quiet and we got a great spot in the trees - nice and private to make a little noise without upsetting anyone - h...

I did in fact arrange for recovery to take us back to my local and reliable guy who I trust with my van!! :ok Thank you again, sometime...

Water coming out of hole at bottom of water pump - which we have been told is the escape hole for the water when the pump goes and we were arranging for a local VW garage to replace it (it happened whilst away so cannot use my normal mechanic) We topped up the water but it came straight out of the h...

Morning all. We've recently had a recon engine fitted by elite and before I start phoning them up sounding dim I thought I would check here first. With the old 1.9 engine the temp guauge used to sit under the halfway mark under the red temp bulb but now it's sitting at 3/4 which seems abit high to m...
