Re: in France - battery help
Yeah. Might need to go back to the tent for a year or so and try to get a promotion... will then definitely get back into it. Sad times but not really dwelling on it - there are more important things in life. Thinking might sell and buy a project if the right one comes along.

Re: in France - battery help
Good stuff! Great pics (and I still love the colour of your van!!).
We went all over and right down to the South for what looks like our last trip in her.

Re: in France - battery help
Thanks for the replies chaps... very useful.
Looks like the split charge relay was nadgered - was all fine when I disconnected the live on the leisure battery overnight.

in France - battery help
Hi. Looks like the leisure has drained the life out if the starter... I bought a new starter that does not fit in the tray (long story, no other choice etc). I have just jump started from the new starter; if I keep them connected will both batteries charge... will they work in parralell (the origina...

Re: Couple of roll out canopy/awning questions
So, by way of some (hopefully) closure and in case anyone ever finds it useful.... I've been ruminating on this months! I had a brainwave that a solid plastic/rubber chopping board shoved in the grove between gutter and awning rail would lift the awning up enough for me to get in and out whilst pack...

Clutch - just checking

I've read through the wiki but couldn't find an answer (which made me think it was standard). Also, my mechanic asked whethe...
