thank you chaps, i'll have a gander (at some point) and se what i can work out.

Morning all, I've recently acquired a double cab with an AAZ, I'' working my way through it sorting out a few bits and pieces. One of the things is that the temp gauge on the standard clocks is only reaching the high end of the first white mark durin normal motoring. Can anyone recommend an alternat...

http://www.practicalcaravan.com/forum/technical/39285-bit-of-a-shock I particularly like this reply - not sure if it's true Whatever you do DO NOT connect your cara van chassis to ground. The nearest earthing point of the supply system may be at a substation some distance away which could mean that...

thanks chaps!

As it says really, has anyone fitted an aftermarket tacho to their AAZ engined bus? And recommendations or things to look out for!

Generally speaking generators have the earth pin on the socket connected to it's own frame. From this you are supposed to put a rod in the ground, this would in theory complete the circuit of there was an rather fault. Personally I wouldn't trust the theory on a generator. If you are wanting to use ...

Likewise I've got a Clarke gas mig welder https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/135te-turbo-mig-welder Does everything I've ever wanted it to do, mostly fabricating crackpot inventions, patches on various motors etc. Argon mix works best, pub gas ok that's what I've been using for ages,...

Gas, every time, apart from anything else it's cheaper, escorts 5p to boil a kettle on gas instead of 12p in an electric kettle. Then there' stage fact that it' shire and fire is cool!

Yes. It's good fun, but practise makes perfect, I'd advise on obtaining a welder and practising before you have to carry out the patches, I didn't when I first started which is why my patches looked like they had been applied by a bird flying past and sh1tting at speed. Passed the most though, albei...

Swap the light fitting?

I wish people would refrain from giving advise where they do not know correctly what they are talking about. :evil: The current regs state that "all final circuit over current protection devices shall be double pole" this means the circuit breaker, MCB or trip switch call it what you will ...

Never going to be as reliable as a direct fit replacement, very quick search turned up some lamps at about £7 each, too pricey? A decent gu10 to us is about £7.

Her bike hospital on dolly lane, although it has changed hads recently they do know what they are doing.
