e: Solar battery charger Post by Ralf85 » Yesterday, 14:16 Sorry to hear about your back - I know the problem. Anyway in the absence of a solar panel and in the interest of togetherness, get the missus to lug the battery indoors and charge it up occasionally. I'll ask her ! Yes back has been a roya...

Hello all ! Been a while since I've posted on here and not been using the van much as I've had a slipped disc finally on the mend taken almost a year of hospitals and numerous treatments. Anyway enough of me what's the general consensus on solar battery chargers the type that plug into cigarette lig...

Thanks for all your help, before we left I redid the ptfe tape and almost a week in and towing the Eriba all is dry.

Lots of waves from the Dutch with the Eriba - I'm not sure if it's out of sympathy though !

The o ring that came with the Meyle switch was copper looked like two bits of copper squashed against each other
I purchased another switch from GSF on way home today and the o ring is flat and silver which is more looks like the material type but metal

I wouldn't reuse the copper sealing washer, it will most likely be a very soft metal that once deformed could need replacing in order to get a seal.

good point but with the amount of PTFE tape i wouldn't think this is an issue...saying that I've taken it out 3 times !

think is 22 x29 o ring !

Probably a silly question but have you got the fibre (similar) wash fitted to the fan switch?

its a copper washer if that's what you mean ?

Sternal is a whittler
We're used to him now

Better to be safe than sorry....


So on to that silicone sealant round the thread then !

rest assured no k seal or any other sealing product is going in the system ! mechanic meant stick silicone sealant on the outside of the threads between gap/plastic i.e. just rub finger round outside don't undo the switch. Replace the rad when you get back. Relax, chill out, you'll be fine. I intend...

pretty much what mechanic said with it being hairline split to late to send rad back as I bought it when Eurocrat parts where knocking them out at £30 odd£ and it was in the loft for 6 months before it was fitted in FEB 15, worth a try though. is it worth putting the silicone sealant on ? Thank you ...

PTFE tape applied took for a spin to get up to heat dry, once home revved up to get fan to kick in and the wisper is back on my finger ! http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q685/unfitggeezer/B2847752-5229-45EC-976F-DA266DE60F02-1235-00000154B3564597_zpsz0sm2xnd.jpg this is if I put my finger on the ...

job for this eve....


thanks so far

Wind the tape on so that it doesn't unwrap as you screw the switch in


ie wrap it tightly and so that it's flat and not all scrunched up !

wrap it round the thread as in picture 5- 8 times


will do it tomorrow when its cool again will take it out pop old one back in whilst I wrap the PFTE

Is this a temp fix ?


thank you
