    Gas underslung after 6 years.

    I seem to remember that the fitting kits and picture gallery of tank fitting was hidden in an area on their website that wasn't at all obvious, it took me a couple of tries to find it. Phil

    Holiday De Jardine

    Your welcome Phil when this bloody pandemic is over, have to say though that it's one of the most peaceful Easters I've ever known, no planes roaring through the sky and very little traffic noise to disturb the tranquility, can even hear the birds singing for a change, 🙂 Phil.

    Gas underslung after 6 years.

    Robert, at the time I bought the kit from Autogas 2000 along with stainless steel mounting kit, this was for a 2014-15 xlwb Ducato, thought I believe the kit is the same for mid and swb but is slightly different for 2015 on. I still have the instructions in my shed I think so if you want them...

    Gas underslung after 6 years.

    I did it myself Raw, I'm lucky enough I suppose to have done all my own work in and around my home and commercial garage for the last 40 odd years unless of course it was a legal requirement because of my employees, I think it was only recently that I had builders in to replace the wooden floor...

    Brakes on Ducato XLWB after 6 years

    Thanks Phil that's a great site, however over the years I've learnt that brake pads can be very fickle and if there are 5 different pads to fit the same vehicle and year or on year change, then I will end up with the wrong pads. At least if I get them from my motorfactors they will change them...

    Brakes on Ducato XLWB after 6 years

    In continuation of a 6 years period as in my gas thread, I decided that maybe it was time to check the brakes after 34 thousand and 6 years of travel. The back brakes were very little worn and other than brushing the brake dust out of the park brake drum and removing and cleaning up the rear...

    Gas underslung after 6 years.

    Seeing as we can not use our van for it's intended purpose other than using the awning feature in the garden 😎👌. I thought that I would give it a going over, Brakes, water system and gas system. Well I've heard it mentioned on more than one site that you should always use sheathed gas pipe, and...

    I'm guessing that you are aware that 1ltr = 1kg that's an awesome amount of weight to be carrying around plus the weight of the tank ? 🤔. Phil

    John Guest ?

    I've got to say that my wife and I have travelled all over Europe for the past 25 years and we have never worried about running out of water, water is available in a multitude of places around the continent ( Not so much in the UK I admit) but non the less water in the UK is available if you...

    Have you placed your van on SORN in mid March, then check with your bank

    As I stated Dave if you don't cancel it personally you would be totally at their competence. Phil

    Have you placed your van on SORN in mid March, then check with your bank

    Going on the internet google Phil it would seem that you are responsible for cancelling a direct debit, a company that you were paying a direct debit to can cease to draw the debit if you tell them you wish to cancel the payment, however to be certain you must cancel it yourself otherwise you...

    John Guest ?

    Hi, Well I do have to say that in my view rigid plumbing always transmits noise far more easily than semi rigid or completely flexible pipe work, plus the fact that if you have done any home improvements on gas or water plumbing recently you will have noticed the horrendous price of copper pipe...

    True, but then my son has a lawn mower with a honda four stroke engine which he has left outside year on year and has in four years never failed to start after a few pulls on the cord, we will see if it starts this year it looks a sight with rust and left over grass cuttings all over it, I have...

    Budget Generators ??

    Yes I always made up our own brake lines when I had the garage, not only was it cheaper for our customers, but a dam sight easier to fit as you could put a union on one end and feed the pipe through various tight areas then fit the opposing union on the other end. Manufacturers pipes were also...

    It could be Phil that now more and more folk are building their own, these insulation companies have realised that there is profit in spraying insulation for self builders and have improved their standards because of the complaints of excessive clean up in the early days was putting folk off and...

    SPRAY FOAM INSULATION

    Without putting a damper on the idea, there are a few drawbacks with spray foam price being not the least one, the other is the clean up after spray it can be horrendous as it gets everywhere and unless you mask absolutely everything that does not require spraying you will be in for a major head...
