Eventually tracked this down, or more accurately Chris at Birks in Chinnor did (top man). Was a loose lower shock mounting bolt on the offside, even though he and I both agreed the noise definitely sounded like it was the near side. Very happy!

Just to confirm this bolt worked perfectly and I now have a nice snug wheel carrier. Many thanks

Hi, I think I have a similar issue. Did you have to remove the entire dash, or is there a way to just remove the lower console & access through there?

thanks

These guys sorted me out http://www.sgs-engineering.com/gas-struts and were super helpful

I sent them my originals to be upgraded so I knew they'd be the right length, they turned it round within 48hrs

thanks. I think mine might be a random bolt as it's a lot longer than that and has some bodge of a massive square washer

I've done a search on this but can't find anything. On my spare wheel carrier I can only do the bolt up finger tight; as soon as you tighten it further the weight of the carrier just pulls it out again. The bolt thread isn't great but is existent, I'm hoping the thread in the chassis isn't completel...

I couldn't see anything obviously broken or missing but it was dark, I'll have another look in the light.

Hi - I realise this is probably impossible to diagnose over the internet but I thought I would ask anyway ;) There's a knocking noise from the front of my van when driving - it's not constant but comes and goes all the time. Might correspond with small suspension movements but not big bumps, althoug...

Hi Alan there is a bead that runs the length of the awning which feeds into a fitting referred to as Awning Channel If you google "Awning Channel" you will find various options that you cna buy and fix permanently eg http://www.amazon.co.uk/Section-Awning-Rail-1-2-pieces/dp/B0037DHW9Y This...

Understood

On my previous T25 I had a starter battery fail under similar circumstances.... it's all coming back to me now

Well I just checked it and the solar panel had charged the leisure battery back up to 12.33v .... not bad


I still think I will get a new battery as I won't trust that one any more.

Every day is a school day... thanks all

Very interesting, many thanks.

So my 3-way fridge (240v, gas, 12v) should be used 240v when on hookup, 12v when driving, otherwise gas?

Many thanks, Ian
