My 2ltr Aircooled needs new push rod tubes as they are leaking oil really bad. The mechanic says he won't be able to replace them without snapping the bolts for the exhaust on the head to get into them. I have heard of telescopic tubes which you can fit without removing the exhaust but can't seem to...

Non Starter

My van's been lying for 2 months without being started.
I charged the battery and tried to start it...just getting a click from the relay.
It seems to me there isn't enough charge in the battery.

Does the battery need to be totally charged up?

Any suggestions to get me started

Cheers

leisure battery

Could someone post a wiring diagram of the battery and leisure battery, fridge etc.
I don't think the leisure is charging at all and the fridge isn't working on battery.
