Re: 907 vs C500 Gas in a Van

I have decided that my best (and easiest!) option is to keep just one of the two 907's I currently have and keep two or three C500 canisters too in case the 907 runs out on me. I only ever really go away for weekends and two C500's will run my fridge for a weekend and some if the 907 runs out and I ...

Re: 907 vs C500 Gas in a Van

Gaslow looks like an option but the small refillable bottles are almost £200 to buy. That is four years worth of Campingaz for me!

Re: 907 vs C500 Gas in a Van

Yes I just checked and for some reason the larger bottles are substantially cheaper to fill. I just don't have the space for the larger bottles in my van's layout as they are in a cupboard which isn't very tall. It does seem my local shop is very expensive though. I may measure up for a 4.5kg bottle...

907 vs C500 Gas in a Van

I have just bought an adaptor to use the 445g C500 gas canisters in my van rather than using the 2.75kg 907 bottles. I have the bottle connected via a quick release fitting so I can swap from one to the other at will. The simple reason which has passed me by for the last ten years is that gas in the...

Re: Stagnant Water Smell in My Van

Update! I just took the grille off and the heater intake grille. Absolutely dry in there and no smell. I ran the heater blower to the windscreen and footwells and no smell. No damp carpets either. I am beginning to think either something sneaked in and died somewhere or it must be the sink, even tho...

Stagnant Water Smell in My Van

Just this week my van has developed a nasty stagnant water smell inside. I have had it before coming up the sink drain from the waste tank but this time it is not that. I also had a car some years ago where the washer bottle water went stagnant with the same smell, but it isn't that either. I think ...

Re: High top sliding side windows

Soaking the new seal in hot water from a kettle before fitting makes it a million time easier!

Re: Torque settings - dry or lubricated

Original assembly of this type would not have been lubricated. When you think about it, why would it need to be? All brand new parts!

1.9DG temperature Sender and Sensor

I have a bog standard 1987 1.9DG and I want to replace the temperature gauge sender. In the thermostat housing there are two units, one pointing to the left and is blue, and one facing forwards which I cannot currently get to. Can anyone tell me what new parts I need to order for both of them? I ass...

Glide rail for seat slider.

Are my front seats supposed to have a plastic glide rail, part 8 on the drawing, on both sides or just one side of the seat?Image

Re: LED (DOT approved) Headlights. A question

Or you could just not bother like 99% of the rest of the population!! I went to France on the tunnel recently and I think I was the only UK car with headlight beam stickers!!

Re: speedo dial diameter

Colour can be changed and it has a trip meter. Not the best photo I am afraid and it lines up properly in real life!Image
