Good mechanic nearby??

Post by T25Wannabe »

Hi,

Loving my new camper, however I seem to have developed two faults (Hopefully not the start of the end)...

Firstly the handbrake light no longer comes on (Not sure if its the light thats gone or the handbrake not working 100% so the light is not coming on, although I have parked on a slight incline with the handbrake on and no movement has occurred...)

Secondly, my fuel gauge needle has just shot off to the bottom left hand corner of the dial (As in past the empty line to the left almost out of view), I have waited a few times running the tank down and refuelling but it has not come back...

So, not being in anyway mechanical, I am looking for a local garage that has been recommended by others to take a look...

I live in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire...

Are the rest of the instruments working ok?
Could it be a fuse / PCB issue? just a thought, but I am sure someone will have a good idea whats happening.

Good luck with it

What a long strange trip it's been

PCB is Printed Circuit Board right? These seem to be a common problem on our T25s and throw up all sorts of dashboard errors. I have a water temp light that blinks intermitantly. I have checked all the fuses, wire connects and earth contcts and all seem to be in good order. I reckon there is a good chance my "PCB" is faulty.

Where do you get replacement circuit boards from? Are they pretty easy to fit?

Thanks
