I’m going to be like a London bus. No posts for several years then 3 at once. I’m getting oil in the air filter box so thought I would clean out the tower. Held on by 4 studs. I failed to remove it. Wiggled and tapped it but could not get it free. Does it just pull off. In that the van is off on its...

I replaced my tank and when refitted also had a leak when tank full. The memory of fitting it was so painfull I’ve not taken it off to see where leak is coming from. I just under fill [emoji4]. Enjoy the fitting .... at the time I did mine I saw a thread where someone had got rid of the shreks ears ...

Thanks. Although I’ve been running 3 electrode plugs on a green stickered coil for several years. Is that an oops.
I note Haynes has different plug gaps for green and grey. Also different plug references.

Hi peeps long time no posty but lots of travel [emoji3] Just got through its MOT with no advisories and now doing some minor servicing fitting new plugs and leads before he goes to the seaside. Ones I have taken off have 3 electrodes around the centre electrode whereas I am replacing with what I see...

Just doing tweaks at the moment, will have to go deeper soon as a few issues on bodywork and mechanicals. But need a bit more warmth. In the meantime I’ve been replacing internal lights with LEDs. Certainly see the difference on battery drain. Bought some LED strips to replace tubes in the two main ...

Thanks for all the help. Rewired in parallel, and after a lot of reconnecting now all up and running. Lights appear much brighter but only tonight will confirm. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190321/003337da10f0070069cd7d5cbda7b9c9.jpg Have kept chocblox until I’m sure I’ve got it right, had ano...

Thanks for helpful input. 10 volts is at the battery end. Bought the lights at Busfest so assuming 12 Volt. Have put battery on charge and even in daylight they look brighter. Albeit it’s now at 14V while connected to charger. Will check in dark tonight when fully charged. Will also order a new leis...

Another electrickery question as this would not be my chosen subject! I have fitted 5 small led lights (see pic below) inside the van under the wooden side panels (High top). Took the feed from the same line as an existing light running from leisure battery via a switch. I have fitted them in series...

Thanks petethefeet. All dismantled and put back together again.

Perfect. I’m prone to breaking things so was too cautious and using 2 screw drivers worked well. I was hoping to find a hole behind so I could feed some wire through. But alas no large hole. So back to square one. Am fitting some mini LED’s along the underside of the boxed in section. Can’t get acce...

I need to remove my heater control. But can’t work out how. It looks as though the dial has to be removed first but it does not pull off. Can’t see any screws holding the cover in place. The cover is loose on the left but firmly in place on the right. Help please[SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] http...

Not posted for a while. Will work back through time on jobs I have been doing. Not restoration but most recent job was fitting a solar panel. Read all the excellent threads on the site. My main requirement was to keep my batteries topped up particularly since the leisure battery is close to needing ...

Well Amazon failed to deliver the 7" so wife not happy. But looking at my 5" (garmin) I noticed a setting for brightness. Mine set at 99%. Does Tom Tom have a hidden brightness setting?
Sorry for the innuendo but difficult to resist.

Apart from my recent post in electrical. My 3 way fridge is now working well. Am going to get a thermometer so that I can see how effective the cooling. Impressed when on gas. Trying to gauge how much gas it uses. Currently 37 degrees here and on electric- beers still cold although they are in the i...

I don't have problem with light, just adjust the angle. I've always had Garmins so can't compare with Tom Tom. My problem is eyesight and being able to read text. Current Nuvi playing up so have ordered a 7 in screen. Critical for me is full Europe mapping and lifetime updates. Although my age is ag...
