Re: Fuel breather pipes end bits

I've got one side done, pipes changed, still a smell of petrol, so it may be I need to drop the tank to do the grommets. But ive niticed the rubber connector on the filler doesnt look brilliant, so was thinking of changing that anyway. Meanwhile, keeping the window closed :lol:

Re: Zig Unit problems in North Dorset!

Er, back to basics... are you sure the leisure battery is wired into the zig in the first place? Trace the positive lead back and make sure it goes to the zig. Do the interior lights now work with a fully charged battery? If not, is there a fuse inline with the battery? Checked fuse? If the battery ...

Re: Fuel breather pipes end bits
