Re: Anyone used a maypole van cover?
Thanks for replies, I've ordered one, according to info it should fit. Probably the biggest benefit I see with a cover is protection from the sun, it trashes rubber and interiors over time. I do use the hidef wax as well after learning about it on here. I also understand what you mean about forgetti...

Anyone used a maypole van cover?
Hi, We need a new cover after the recent storm trashed our previous one. Last one was from JK but quality was not good, I've just found a Maypole MP6584 that says it is suitable for high tops (ours is an autosleeper trident), anyone used them or know if this will fit (it says height up to 68", ...

Re: Another building type question for you
Thanks CS, I too am an Engineer, of the electrical variety, my thought processes seem to be on the same lines as yours. I think I'll let him crack on as proposed. Cheers, Bri

Are you deliberately trying to get on the 'take it out of context' thread CS!

Re: Water tank drain tap help
Thanks Ian, 3/4 BSP sounds about right, they look pretty common so should get one no prob. Yeah, I think it has a nut on the inside of the tank, the whole thing spins in the tank (it is cracked where it enters the tank, but that doesn't show in the pic). Just hope there is an arm sized hole in the t...

Water tank drain tap help
Hi all, we managed to smash the drain tap on our water tank last time out (Mrs baj put a levelling chock in a dumb place and it flipped up). http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t38/baj25/DSC_0035%20-%20Copy.jpg It is on a 1990 autosleeper conversion. Can anyone recommend where to get one from (are th...

Re: fit a rev counter and temperature gauge and oil gauge t25 19
Early vans don't have the signal you need from the coil pre-wired up to the instruments, late ones are much easier as they do. A search here will find all the details. Hth, bri

Re: not vw -LED dimmers for mains
Inrush current into heating causing voltdrop? Low resistance when cold, increases when hot? I guess the electronics in domestic dimmer is going to be pretty crude so won't have cap to ride out the volt drop? Bri

Re: Do I buy a MIG welder?
Yes. For all the reasons above. Once you have got one, you'll wonder how you ever did without. Clarke one is ok imho. Works well for me, buy during vat free. Bri

Re: New Nehctik: Induction or gas hob?
Don't know if all induction hobs are the same as the ones we have (for summer when aga is off), but they only have few steps for power setting, usually not enough and too much. I use camping stoves in preference these days. Bri

Square headlight inners not bright
Changed coolant yesterday and before putting upper grille back on I thought I'd have a look what bulbs are fitted to inners as they are rather dim. Think I might have found the problem, some twonk has fitted 24V bulbs! Oh well, off to local accessory place for some 12V lamps. Surprised it wasn't pic...
