Thanks. So it does sound that I definitely have a leak as if I put finger over spigot to block it the it just returns back when pulled out. Parts should be here on Thursday. Good shout on the soldering iron but have ordered a set of leather punches. The whole assembly is now off van. Instructions i...

Thanks v much for all the input , very helpful

An IC alone won't provide much extra power, and for the price on the ad would be a completely disproportionate purchase IMO.

Thanks for your input

The fuse for the heater is on the pillar behind the drivers seat

So got oil leaks form the rocker cover gasket , I fitted cork one around 2 years ago but it’s still leaking . Is it worth trying the rubber one from Brickwerks , anyone used this one with good results . Or should I have another go with a new cork one ?

cheers 

Trying to fit the chrome surrounds on the window seals and so far I have split the seals on the corners of 2 windows. Any tips on fitting this. Or should I just go with no chrome seals? It’s a caravelle and it had them originally so I would prefer to have them. Seals are from Alan Schofield Any hin...
