Ok. Sounds like using 12 volt for fridge is a bad idea. Will leave well alone. Thankyiu

Yes. The red button allows the fridge to work off 12volt whilst driving. Thanks to the person who suggested this. Brilliant! Can't get the fridge to work off 12volt when the engine is not on though. I thought it was broken Any ideas what switch combo might work?

Yes. One post was right on the money. It makes the fridge work when we're driving. Brilliant! We can't seem to get the fridge to work off the leisure battery though. Any thoughts in that one? On electric hook up it works fine. Rosie

Thanks. Never could get my fridge to work off 12 volt whilst driving. That could well be it. Will test that one out.

Great. Glad we've sorted that out!!!!

He reckons it's because the new engine is designed to be fitted upright in a golf and that In the type 25 it's fitted ...

Thanks for the advice. The AA quoted £475 to go 120 miles! RAC would only provide roadside assistance and a tow to the nearest garage. So there appears to be no cheap way to get the van home :( Nevermind, I guess it could be worse. At least it's the end of the summer. We'll probably put the van on t...

A piston broke and blew a hole in my engine yesterday (type 25 1.7 diesel engine water cooled). I'm now stuck in Devon and need to get my van back to Bath (UK). Any advice on best way to get my van home (I've been quoted (£260) and how to source a reconditioned engine would be appreciated. I have no...
