How long have you owned the van?
If it’s a recent purchase is it possible the wire was just to conceal the faulty alternator?

I’m thinking it could be the X relay?

I saw a rear seat and base at Busfest, Simon Davey was selling it. I think he used to go by the name of spannerboy on here.

I think the 2 terminals shown with wires attached are probably the battery +ve (m8) and the exciter wire (m6 bolt appears to have a blue wire?)
I think the spade may be a W terminal for the tacho feed on a diesel possibly.

These on eBay but Chinese so made of chocolate I’d imagine.

What about something like these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134702971896?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=x-a-CEkMQl6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=uLBhb_biShC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY You could remove the Merc logo with a dremel and stick some VW emblem...

Not sure if this is the same but certainly similar. https://lpgautosupplies.co.uk/shop/motorhome-and-caravan/vapour-tanks-valves-and-fitting-kits/valves/manual-outlet-shut-off-for-a-4-hole-vapour-tank/ I’ve always found Tinley Tech great to deal with and they may be able to point you in the right di...

You should be able to get a voltage reading at the alternator on the stud that the big red wire is attached to.
You are testing the split charge relay with the vehicle running? Just to clarify.

Sounds like the fan relay may be sticking on perhaps. Does it stay on even if you unplug the new thermostatic switch in the radiator?

I have an AGG in my Gipsy using a diesel tank and just stepped the hose size up to the EFI pump with an adapter. Been on there 4 yrs and no issues at all with fuel starvation or cavitation.

Why are you looking to increase the outlet?
Are you doing an engine conversion?

Looking at the wear on the remaining stud I’d say the bracket has been moving about somewhat. I have had some success in the past by plenty of plus gas and drilling a hole and tapping an old torx bit in the hole to remove what’s left of the stud. I would avoid eazyouts though as they are very brittl...

Would it not make sense to replace the connector first as the switch may be ok and just the burnt out terminal causing the issues?
I’d be tempted to rig a temporary connection using crimp on spade terminals and see what happens before spending out, but I am tight as f**k

Certainly seems that way.
