Re: Removing the fan

Use a puller to remove it as they can be very tight

PLease help, im very cold

Right here goes, I think i have been told in the past that the heater motor or switch on a watercooled T25 sometimes fail? My heater works well when going along but not when stationary due to the fan in the front not working? Is there an easy test to find out if its the switch or the motor? If its e...

Re: one for the pro,s

If you have the kit and the exhaust comes off ok it should be 1-2 hrs :lol:

BETTER IN THE AIR THAN ON THE GROUND IN MY OPINION


Make sure you follow the correct procedure for undoing and re tightening the head though!

Re: Charging batteries from 230V hookup

you did,nt say what van you have?

Charging both batteries at the same time is a little tricky unless you have the westy set up.

I would go for a proper built in charger (like the marine ones) some have two outputs for dual charging!

Good Luck :ok

I then ran wires from main battery and stereo so I could switch between both which worked fine. I later removed interior light cable a...
