Simple rocker switch on the live feed would do it surely?

Re: Compressor fridge batttery charging.
Other than solar, and obviously electric hook up, theres little way of charging your battery. You can run the motor I suppose but unless you have a dc to dc (b2b) charger fitted that will take a while or use a genny, neither of which would make you very popular! Without a decent charging system the ...

Re: Gas "hot air"heater via a vent into cab
You mean a heater such as a 'Propex' ?
They're designed for that very use, if fitted correctly they vent outside via the exhaust so perfectly safe.

Re: Fridge replacement
I have a Vitrofrigo (I think thats how its spelt) 50ltr compressor fridge which has been great, not the cheapest but really quite low consumption.
I do have a lithium battery and 215w solid solar panel though so I guess that helps.

Re: T25 15” Wheel & Lift Setup – Tyre Recommendations?
I've got 215/70 ×15" Yokohama Geolandars on Ronal ET 23 on my camper, 2.1 with the Brickwerks lift kit and it pulls nicely enough.

Re: Replacing rear drive shaft
Make sure they are 'built' correctly, by that I mean the one side of the inner race has shamfer on it which goes towards the shaft not the wheel/gearbox. Also they need to be 'clocked' spend a little time on Google and look for videos (yes I'm old) on rebuilding and clocking T25 CV joints, apart fro...

Re: Sliding door won’t lock
Can you lock it from the inside (small lever that moves up and down) if so next check the outer handle to see if the 'locking lug' operates with the key, as stated above the cable/rod is there purely to release the catch at the back of the door.

But I'm not one of the aforementioned top mechanics LOOL and I bought it 4 months ago so I can't answer accurately... but I can help with ...

Re: Help! T3 starting issue
Faulty 'new' pump? Long shout I know but worth trying another. Don't take this the wrong way but you haven't put the fuel pipes on the the pump the wrong way have you? I've done it in the past and as I run mine on lpg the petrol could be seen 'bubbling ' in the filter. I know you said the fuel lines...

Re: Solar panels only provide trickle charge
See whats coming out of the panel on a sunny day (difficult this time of year I know) for starters and take it from there.
If you're getting a decent voltage from the panel then maybe the controller is shagged?

Re: 2.1DJ vs 1.9DG
I've also been running a 2.1 on a carb and lpg for probably 15yrs without a problem, early van too with early cooling system.
Plumbed the cooler/heater thing in as well, well worth it in my opinion.

Re: Gearbox upgrades
Make sure the wheel/tyre combo are of a standard size too, many people put car wheels on with low profile tyres which screws the gearing up.
