Thanks, I'll check. It was completely fine on the way home.   I did wonder if if could have been something to do with brakes sticking, I deliberately braked hard just before parking up on the journey in.

Drove the van to work today to give it a run out and charge the batteries a bit. Started to hear a knocking sound. Could describe it as more towards a clanging sound than a clunk, slightly higher note like exhaust metai clanging sound (but no exhaust blowing noise). Seemed to follow acceleration, it...

Yeah I'm not in the habit of leaving it without oil but things have been a bit hectic, I knew I'd be changing oil and filter soon but kept putting it off. 3 trips in last 4 weeks. I was thinking about a pressure gauge this morning, I understand there's a blanked off spot on the housing? Also seen a ...

Thanks chaps. Just checked her over. Could any of the following cause a false alarm 1. Oil was really really low. 2. Oil filter is long overdue a change 3. Is this is the high pressure sender? (see pics) It looks like black one. If so Spade terminal was only half seated and wires look about ready to...

Hi all, Drove back from Devon yesterday 255 miles. The buzzer went off pulling into the services, sharp left turn decelerating about half way back. Heard it but didn't realise what it was, thought it was on the radio or something. Then about 5 miles from home, decelerating onto a roundabout it went ...

Thanks Mocki - out of interest how did you fix the cables in the gutter? Do they flap about?

I might do as you suggest but route cables through bulkhead and mount controller where the Victron is located (old BBB spot) then back again to the starter.

Thanks both. So if I get into the vents I can feed into engine bay I guess is what your saying?. Stesaw are you suggesting drilling from inside into the vent/outside then run cable down through the vent? Rascal - If I drill the poptop it would be on the edge, outside of the tent but under the poptop...

I've been toying with this project for a while so just an initial question for anyone who has added solar to charge the starter battery. Where did you route the wires to get into the engine bay? I have LHD drive westy and it looks like I have a factory fitted hole with a grommet top left corner as y...

This might seem like a silly question but is it only visible within the Victron Bluetooth app when it's charging? I tried connecting but not whilst charging and couldn't see it. I guess it would always be 'listening' and drawing charge if on all the time was my assumption.

Fitted the Victron in the end. Fairly simple swap and works like a charm...

ah ok - thanks for taking time to reply. I've learnt something today 

The one that was in there thats blown appears to be 11.6a. (Clear one inside box at the top next to the thermal fuse)

...update: Just seen on outside of box 1,6a but defo looks like 11.6 on the fuse

ok thanks, I guess I should replace the clear fuse first and see if it just blows again. I'm struggling to read the rating on it - any idea?

I was about to reply yes but now I'm guessing now this is different to the transparent fuse from the same area. 

What am I looking for? Is it that little black square tab half under the orange bar? If so that appears to be ok when doing a continuity test but I'm a bit of an amateur with the meter...

Hi all,  noticed nothing was charging on hookup this weekend. Figured out lights are not on leisure yet. I'm now wondering if it's been like this for ages and I've never noticed. We normally plug stuff in to the socket, toaster etc and maybe were running lights of starter without realising. I know s...
