Re: Can't remove fridge.

Hi,thanks for replies. First to kev,I haven't got a clue what I'm doing and read a few things stating that if your fridge stops working,get it out and turn it upside down for 24 hours and this could solve the problem ,hence why it was upside down in my dining room. Next to Pete,cheers for the info m...

Re: Can't remove fridge.

Hi dd&m. I've owned this van for 7 years and can honestly say I've never run it on gas once apart from when I first got it,just to check it worked. It's only ever run on 230v via mains hook up. It worked fine last time it was used but has now packed in. When it packed up I tried to light it on g...

I managed to get a thin screwdriver inside and prize the ...

Re: No main beam

Yes I do realise that lights would be dim if engine not running,the engine was running but only side lights would come on,no change when the switch was pressed to headlight position. My bus is a 1987 club joker 2.1.

No main beam

Hi got in my van last night and turned lights on but they seemed weak. On inspection it seems that only the side lights are coming on although the switch is appears to be clicking twice but no headlights. The main beam will flash but not stay on (I assume because the headlights are not on) so the bu...
