However, if we are talking about charging whilst the motor is running (tickover or driving) then your idea that the alternator will ease up on seeing the main battery is charged is in error. Thats not my understanding... the "S" terminal of the alt monitors the battery voltage does it not...

Ok... Thread resurrection alert So since the gods of Ebay have not yet delivered unto me a sterling charger, I've been playing around with an arduino and some power mosfets to explore the possibility of formulating an intelligent charging solution from scratch... but i keep running into the issue (o...

noise????? open the door fully and get a load of cloth and clean all the crap out of the lower track , while your at it check that the track is sound,no holes, swing the door of the middle runner and support on an axle stand etc and remove the lower roller and clean it thoroughly and refit with fre...

Lol... Nah, last thing I welded was fillet 20mm bar to the top of some angle iron... And fillet is perhaps making it sound neater than it was. I'm expecting holes & mess when I stick it to anything thinner... At least until I warm up...

lovely!, I'm with you on the holes, the only reason i can come up with for the holes is that one of their design engineers put a really high priority on removable mats for sweeping out purposes & that was the best method they could come up with to stop slippage. I need to find me some scrap &...

watching with real interest. looks a bit worse than mine so i'm keen to see how it cleans up and how much of the old you salvage.

LHS B post & crusty sill well, eventually I summoned up enough courage to take the side plank off the Left hand side and get a good look at the crusty bits I had gingerly poked at and tried to pretend werent there for the last few weeks. http://therockapotamus.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/p908429...

My MGTF was never supplied with a spare... though even if it was i had to give up on the offside rear after breaking a socket on it using the impact wrench - a spar...

hey James, funny how you were looking for a multivan and ended up with a camper... and I was looking for a camper and ended up with a multivan... Felt like the right van though, even with the bits that need sorting.Worse is a relative term, there are plenty of crusty bits still to come & i've go...

RHS B post moving back from the cab the 'B' post was next… I’d seen enough post mortems of this bit to know that I should expect trouble… of course, despite this area looking good at first glance I wasnt going to get away scot free here… it was inevitably worse under the surface. So, before I starte...
