  1. Strange chirping type noise

    Do you mean the manual part of the door lock on the inside of the door itself or the switch to lock and unlock all the doors in the dash?
  2. Strange chirping type noise

    Yep. Works as expected and no odd chirping.
  3. Strange chirping type noise

    So when my siding door opens (Iveco daily pvc) I get a strange chirping type noise. Sometimes it's slightly louder than others and happens at exactly the instant the door is cracked open and presumably the switch on the body that tells when the door is opened goes open circuit. It's certainly...
  4. Forum a bit quiet

    I'm guilty as charged really. I enjoy this forum pretty much daily, I'm in the middle of a conversion, albeit a slow one, but don't actually post very much. I suppose maybe I think most of things I'm doing are a bit mundane to post really. I keep thinking when this bit is finished I'll do a...
  5. This IS a sales thread!

    Crikey, what a great deal. I wonder if I could claim this deal retrospectively lol.
  6. Good Fridge opportunity

    No idea where they are made. All links on the inventor UK website go to Amazon but no stock. Will keep an eye on it 😳
  7. Good Fridge opportunity

    Seems to be a lack of the inventor fridges on Amazon at the moment. Was looking for one yesterday... Maybe production has been impacted by this virus thing I've heard about.
  8. NOT MY VAN - Lovely LDV Horsebox on EBAY if anyone is interested

    Would be happy to go and have a look if anyone is serious about it. It's in the same postcode as me but would still take me half hour to get there. Relatively just down the road I suppose!
  9. NOT MY VAN - Lovely LDV Horsebox on EBAY if anyone is interested

    This is just down the road from me. I agree, a Swedish sauna like. I like it though. Sounds like a fair price to me.
  10. Uprated alternator

    So, I have received some information back from Alterstart... Awkwardly, the test sheet for the 110 amp Bosch unit is not of the same format as the others. Also, I dont really understand how the rpm on the test rig compares to the rpm at the pulley of my vehicle. Attached are the test reports...
  11. Uprated alternator

    That's my concern is that I could finish the alternator off once the new Redarc kit arrives from you. I have a clamp meter already, looks similar to yours actually. My problem with testing with the clamp meter is getting a big enough load on the battery to get the alternator to fire up to full...
  12. Uprated alternator

    No, if I could see 50amp on tick over I'd be happy. I'm guessing 30 amp b2b, headlights, heated seats, blowers, head unit, amplifier and a few 5v devices wouldn't add up to more than 50 amp or so? What's giving me the jitters a little is that I'm not even getting 14v out of the alternator at...
  13. Uprated alternator

    Well that's exactly what I'm aiming for. I could test my current alternator. I have a clamp meter but I can't think of a big enough load I could put on in the van to take a decent measurement. I wonder if your uprated alternator has a different from the average pulley? 🤔
  14. Uprated alternator

    Thanks for this. Useful. Will wait for the test results to come back and then work out the pulley ratio.
  15. Uprated alternator

    Due to being pretty sure my alternator is on it's last legs, I had a good chat with Alterstart today. They are a local small business to me in Devon who specialise in custom alternators. I told them of my need of an alternator replacement for my Iveco Daily that would show a good output, even...
  16. 8mm or 10mm gas pipework

    Great news... Thanks both of you. 8mm it is then. Covered pipe? Is that an autocorrect for copper pipe or is it copper with an outer coating? Flexible piping? Is that just standard 8mm copper? Can I bend a loose 90deg radius with this or is best to use an elbow?
  17. 8mm or 10mm gas pipework

    So I'm looking to purchase a clesse regulator for our Gaslow system in our self build. There seems to be an option of regulator for either 8 or 10mm copper pipework. Which should I go for... Are more fittings available for one or the other? Costs? Is different pipework diameters easier to...
  18. Cutting tool dilemma

    Thanks everybody for all the useful advice and information. Will report back with how I get on!
  19. Cutting tool dilemma

    Hi all, So I am just about to begin fitting a new plywood floor into our van, and thinking ahead to how I am going to cut nice crisp lines in both the sheet material for the floor, but also the sheet material for the rest of the furniture in the conversion. I have decided that I need to...
  20. Selecting the right inverter for an AC Fridge

    Very interesting... I have a durite modified wave 500w inverter that I plan to use for an AC fridge. It states a 3x peak but I can't for the life of me find any detail of how long it can sustain that for. Since it's a reasonable quality inverter, I can only hope it will sustain it for long...
