I wonder why it only goes in upside down
when its in the right place

Ah OK, even with my blinkered eyes.. and thoughtless confused tired brain, and the well thumbed page of Haynes, The X relay was not in the right spot! I can see how he got it wrong replacing it, as when its in the right place its "upside down" Why did he even take it out, dont know.. Anyho...

Long day today, bit tired to think.
Photo of what's there, relays..



Anything obviously wrong?
I shall follow Robsey's leads in the morning.

Thanks

Have you checked the X relay. Relief relay in location No 8 It is a very heavy duty relay numbered 24, 18, or 100. Other than that is the ignition switch. X pin position. It feeds 12 volts to relay No8 pin 4 (relay terminal 86) If you don't have 12v on pin 4 with the ignition on (not cranking), the...

Nope, stumped, how frustrating.
 

Ok I will go deeper into the earth crowns,
relays for those not listed in my Haynes.
 

So it was working recently and all at once not.
Checked the fuses 11 and 13, late van..
Earth crowns look fresh but I'll give them a wiggle.
Any tips what to look at next.
Electrics is my massive blind spot!

I'm looking to replace my leisure batteries, they were as recommended on here lead acid, one under each front seat. Starter is under the rear seat. This will be my third set killed, due to discharge.. Quite expensive, but easy to do. Think I would like to go for the lithium. Interested to see if the...

Often regret that I didnt spend more time on access ideas. Its a tiny bit faffy swivelling drivers seat, theres the handbrake in the way th...

Slightly expensive, but a good thing to get done sooner or later.
Find a cheaper good welder before you need one and be prepared for the next job.
 

ooh they look gorgeous,
sure they would be desirable.
Probably fund your stainless ones.
 

I usually (always?) buy from BW.
Thought to get some opinions meanwhile.
I shall let you know how rubbery they are!

I had the steps welded some years ago,
nice job, and as per original, 
the welder fitted new rubber steps.

I never liked them, very plasticky.
Slippery when wet too.

I am going to guess there are variations..
can anyone point me to the quality item?

We have a pop top that did not come with a mattress, not sure but I could guess theres not a lot of space up there, so its crucial to find (buy) a thin but comfortable mattress. One idea is to go to a pop top seller and try the options, but I thought to ask on here what people think. I usually sleep...

I dont have the answers but I guess that whoever does may need more info,
my Golf (petrol) motor liked the ratios of the previous 1.6 diesels gearbox.
Post up what exactly your engine is.
