    Mixing Solar panels

    For the cost of a couple of diodes, just fit them if your worried.

    Levitation

    This is the problem with the horrible vehicle, it’s very hard to jack up the rear end. You need a long and low trolley jack. Even putting pads under the jacking legs will be fun.

    Bought this a Classic webasto diesel heater,

    Just enough to stop a mouse making a dangerous home. Balloon out a course mesh so it's not restrictive.

    Any restriction on it's combustion air may cause it to run rich.

    Without wanting to read as rude, it depends where you put it. The paper elements don't like the wet. I like to put my intake away from wet and road dirt.

    Levitation

    I think I saw something once that attaches to a RPI along the levelling lines, but for now I'll be just happy for it to work. Even getting it MOT worthy will be an achievement.

    Levitation

    The body is extremely well attached to the chassis, it has to be by law. There will be no sag. It has air suspension on the back and it does have a habit of deflating. So if parked for any amount of time the legs are to hold it. Though I expect they'll lift it. Any levelling will be done by...

    Bought this a Classic webasto diesel heater,

    I don’t think I’d like the idea of glass fibres being sucked into my air ducting.

    Levitation

    First coat of rust primer, I did intend to have these fitted this weekend. At least it’s progress. Still have to purchase some rams and a power pack.

    Violating a Princess!

    So this weekend has been about “what can we finish?” Not strictly finish-able, we decided to tackle the overhead lockers. Sooner than expected we discovered that some of the material purchased for it was used on the sink cabinet. Though we were able to do enough for a trial fit of the cooker...

    Not a Self-build, but a Tweaker

    Violating a Princess!

    Had a call from Mellor’s today, it was an ECU compatible problem. A new one should be fitted in a week or so. Faster than expected, still lots of other jobs to do. Disasters at work with compatibility problems, so the next four days might get spent with this wreck.

    High Mileage Ford Transit 350 Euro 6 Van Conversion

    I think if you have a good relationship with a senior dealership fitter who tells the truth rather than the company line, your best of with what he sells. Without support they are all rubbish for most people.

    High Mileage Ford Transit 350 Euro 6 Van Conversion

    With all modern engines, they mainly get damaged by servicing. First thing you should do is change all the oils for manufacturer recommended. If it has a timing belt change it. Do the oils and filters yourself to be sure it is really done with the right stuff. We thought if we had spent £40k...

    Victron MPPT 100/30 X 2

    From what I quickly read last night, is that the first to wake up will get to be master. As Betty hasn't been driven more than a couple of metres for a long time I haven't seen a change. It'll need turning soon, so if I remember to note the current master I'll see if it changes.

    Victron MPPT 100/30 X 2

    I have three networked and found just one monitoring the current. Interesting.

    Greetings from Lancashire

    I'd like to welcome you to the club I won't name. Mine is being done outside too. I wish you lots of luck.

    Not a Self-build, but a Tweaker

    I'd tried reporting this sort of thing to the police and was laughed at! Even future serious criminals need training, it starts early with dust caps. Reminds me of a story. My eldest sister by 20 years younger, came home with some apples as a small child. Obviously stolen. After...

    Which Fuse Box would you prefer?

    Personally, after bad experiences with so called safer heating options. I'd never have a wood burning stove in a vehicle.
