Re: Why did my fuse box melt?

Loads of good info there👍

For the M pins it has
Connector M

Not normally externally connected.

M1 INTERNAL grey yellow to pins A9 and G7
M2 INTERNAL yellow to pin A21

Where would they connect externally... when I get the fusebox out I might have better sight of where they go.

Re: Why did my fuse box melt?

I've wired in a external fuse and relay to get it working again for now - as I'll need to drive this week. A good used CE1 was about £40 and it took about 30 minutes to swap. AFAIK all the CE1 fuse boxes are identical. There's a few on eBay but they're at the £60-70 mark - have posted up a wanted ad...

Re: Why did my fuse box melt?

Cheap fuse is a possiblity, it's different to the others so has been changed in the past (but not by me). Surprised it's melted so much but still hasn't blown. Going to check the routing of the loom for any issues as best I can with the dash in place. Plan for today is to to put a relay on the feed ...

Why did my fuse box melt?

Coming home earlier in the week I noticed my right hand headlight was out. Side light and main bean still working, just no dipped beam. I had a look the next day and swapped the bulbs to test them, both bulbs were fine. A voltage reading was fine until the bulb was connected when it dropped, which s...

Re: usb into cigarette lighter

I believe they should be:

Brown: - (earth)
Red: +
Grey/blue: light (+ when the lights are on)

So ignore the grey/blue and use the brown and red.

Re: Leisure battery advice

Looks like that could be an option, 175mm deep so might be a tight fit! Having the bluetooth monitoring would be helpful.

Re: Leisure battery advice

  There is a lithium under the seat option from Campervan culture , they are not cheap though. Have a look on their website  That's why I asked about the Fogstar which is the same height as the CC one. CC lithium Dimensions: L x W x H mm 260 x 160 x 210  210 mm is taller than the maximum 175mm quot...

Re: Switching to 15 inch steel wheels

Yep, might well give them a call. Currently have 15" ET31, so pretty much a direct swap.

Re: Switching to 15 inch steel wheels

Those Dakar wheels look good - here's another link - https://www.dotz4x4.com/EN/wheels/dakar They don't list the centre bore, but I'm guessing if you've fitted them then it was fine? I like the look of the black version as well, but oddly they don't list it as available in 5x112. Did you need to con...

Re: EJ Subaru Engine - Fuel Breather Line

Mine is blanked off. I didn't do the conversion, but it doesn't seem to be causing any issues. To be honest, I'm not totally sure on the function of the breather/evac line on the engine. Do the breathers on the tank mean it's not required (no chance of a vacuum in the tank as the fuel goes down)? Or...

Yep, worth it for the piece of mind. Got the van back today so need to measure up and then get some ordered.

Re: Garage recommendations for Edinburgh?

I have a friend who uses Heriot Hill for his T4. Last year I was recommended Donzlinz out in Broxburn who gave mine a once over, put it through it's MOT, then sorted some minor issues.

Re: More Fuel Pipe Issues.

Just back from a weekend in the Highlands which unfortunately ended in breakdown being called and the van being recovered. Engine cut out and I found we had a fuel leak - fuel hose less than a year old is totally rotten and leaking. Breakdown assistance managed to trim off the leaking section (right...

The KBA is a German certification which can appear with the same number on many different wheels.

Good to know - thanks - so not OEM Merc wheels then.
