That's really useful.  I won't be doing any of this but will pass it on to auto electrician.

Yes, sorry, I've got make and model as my signature but it's a T25 1991 1915cc petrol - holdsworth Villa 3 conversion.

I've had intermittent issues with ignition, which was traced to the coil connections.  The connectors have been cleaned and tightened but the issue has returned.  Turn the ignition and there's a click but engine doesn't turn.  3 or four attempts and it turns and the problem goes away for a while.  I...

Hi Shortly after I bought my van, around 11 years ago, my galley light (over the cooker) died.  I replaced it with something that looked like the original and I've never been happy with it.  Anyways, that light also died a few weeks ago and so I need to replace it?  Can anyone advise where I can sou...

does the van have a zig unit ? switched fridge power supply from there, should be fused, may have a neon - they do differ Sorted.  Just fiddled with the switches on the zig unit and it works.  Many thanks Definitely worth getting the Zig unit checked over by a competent person, next time it causes ...

I’m assuming your van is a Westy… on our Club Joker the fuse is located in a small black plastic box, about the size of a matchbox, that’s screwed onto the forward facing end of the kitchen unit just below the level of the seat belt reel. There should be a 25A fuse for the heating and a 16A fuse fo...

My fridge gas igniter isn't working.  I've dug up a couple of posts on here and the fuse seems to be on the drivers side seatbelt post but I can't find it.  Can anyone help me locate where the fuse is so that I can check it?  Thanks

Great, thanks!

I've got a corroded bottom water coolant steel pipe that's leaking slightly.  Can someone identify the pipe from the photos and tell me what I need and where I can get it from?  Thanks!

Intermittent electrical connection on ignition side? Check all connections and earths around ignition, low voltage and HT side. Fuel blockage?  Check/change filter if not done recently. Check vacuum hoses around carb for leaks/splits? Yes, there is an intermittent fault when starting.  Has been for...

Engine needed to be turned 2 or 3 times as the van has been stood for a few days.  Once it started it sounded fine.  However, half a mile down the road the van stalled at traffic lights and would not start again despite several attempts.  Managed to get a push down the hill but wouldn't jump start s...

If it says 15W-40 mineral on the packaging, is it good?

Thanks
 

The obvious thoughts are - Ignition switch is often a prime suspect, Followed by ensuring that your wires and connectors to the starter are clean and securely fitted. Then there is obviously ensuring that the gearbox to body earth wire / braid is also clean and securely fitted. Thanks!  Will get th...
