Any other method is pointless actually the 99 /292 relay method outlined on the wiki for post 86 vans is by far the neatest solution. So are the 19 and 99 relays interchangeable just unplug one and fit the other as I would quite like to have the lights on buzzer mod but my van has the 19 relay. Che...

Re: Has anyone fitted power steering?

Don't mind at all £450 if you go shopping in Stratford for 2 or 3 hours or £330 if you do it yourself with loads of help/advice from Chris who by the way is one of the nicest/helpful blokes you could wish to meet or you can buy the necessary bits and do the welding/machining yourself if you're confi...

Re: hook up cable

I bought a 10m one when we 1st got the van & soon realised I needed a longer one. Not all hook up points are that close so 25m would be best. You can never have too much! Thanks Charlie I think you're right along with Louey in that the 25mtr one should cover all scenario's,i will order one to b...

Re: hook up cable

I think they usually come in 25m lengths - that should do you just fine. If not, get the campsite to provide an extension Hi louey thanks for the quick response the reason I posted the query is having been on a couple of sites last year I thought the hook up points were quite close to the pitch and...
