Club 80-90 Forums

Excellent :ok Thanks for the input, I have the relay switching from the ignition which I think should be fine, then it can only come on when the van is running. I am not too worried about loading up the alternator on startup, thye are pretty tough, and if it buggers up i'll replace with a 90A that s...

Hey Tommy, thanks for the input. it is the 12v side of things. I don't generally have any issues with 240 or 12v. this just stumped me a bit as if it is pos & neg then why call it supply and return? still thinkin and researching, would like to get it sorted today if i can... then fire it up and ...

OK, so I have sorted almost everything in the van finally.... However just now when wiring the fridge I looked at the Electrolux (RM212F) manual and it says to connect the 'supply' wire to the side of the connector that is wired to the selector switch on the front of the control panel, fine. Then it...

Ahhhh so somebody has dead locks... or remote entry?

You havn't been pimpin your bus have you Tex?

I could prolly write something for the wiki, but do we really need people knowing how it's done? If any legit person on this forum truly wants to know I could write something and PM it... or maybe call and explain... I think it would take a while to write.. one of those things best instructed in per...

OK just a bit of perserverance needed..

Keys in my hot little hands right now...

Everyone can now go back to relaxing..


Thanks to those who responded

Been working on the van all day and as I locked up I did the usual lock sliding door and close door - check pocket for keys... Doh! Wrong order! Now with all my previous cars I have been able to get in in seconds with the old packing strap.. but after numerious attempts I have had no luck.. Could so...

OK so I may have answered my own question.

I have found an Auto parts supplier who has the silver flexible pre-heat hose found on most older cars, this is available in a few diameters 28 & 38mm... so I am going to try the 38mm and clamp it down to the 32mm flue pipe.. (fingers crossed)

I have found that I also need a length of flexible flue. This is due to the fridge unit sitting on the floor and where I need to cut the hole for the flue on the side of the van is around 170mm above the centre line of standard flue.. I have search everywhere I can think of for some flexible heat re...

If anyone is interested I pulled the details on the product I mentioned. Info can be found at this web site; http://www.enigma-insulations.co.uk/triisosuper9.html The product Triso-Super 9 is I am told about to be supersceded by Super 10 Now make sure you sitting down..... It is bloody expensive! I ...

Being in the construction game I know of a relatively new product that is being used for roof insulation. It comprises of about 5-7 layers of silver foil, like the JK stuff but sandwiched in between is an insulant.. This is supposed to be the best thing since sliced you know what.... However the nam...

If the fridge is on the level i.e. (as mentioned elsewhere on the forum) within the 3-6deg tolerance, depending on model and the flame is a nice blue colour; Check that the flame stays alight the whole time If not then either the thermocouple (little brass bit that sits in the flame)or the electroma...

I have a Holdsworth conversion and have just bought some good quality 4" speakers to go in the overhead locker above the rear seat. Theses will point towards the front of the van and coupled with some larger split mid/tweeter front speakers should sound good. The thing to remember is to first i...

Taking the fridge out is not a problem, but once flue is fixed onto fridge getting the height right for the external vent bit could be a problem as you can't get back there with the fridge in place (i'm not that skinny). I guess I could just measure from the floor to the top of the flue this would g...

Hi My recently purchased Holdsworth came with a 3-way fridge, however the couple who owned it had never used the fridge on gas. I now know this is probably because external vents were not installed for what reason I don't know. There are no internal or floor vents to the rear of the fridge area eith...
