    Violating a Princess!

    That used to be the case, one would fight for dominance. So you could have one in bulk and another in absorption or float. Now Victron have given them a good slapping (none were hurt or harmed in the process) and they are supposed to get along nicely. On the bluetooth display it shows the...

    Violating a Princess!

    I always think a bit of dirt on a hard working woman is such more attractive than makeup ;) Her only downside is that if anything arrives “ self assembly“ I don’t get a look in.

    Violating a Princess!

    So on a lighter note, excusing the pun. During the week on an unusually dry afternoon Anita helped feed the fuel tank back into it's home. What a horrible job. To get to the front bracket mounting holes you needed to unstrap an air tank! Then whilst resting the fuel tank on the front bracket...

    DVSA checks

    I guess it's a bit like the customs fashion that started a few years ago. "Are you carrying knifes?" Well of course we are! But you answer No. I think what they were supposed to ask was, "Are there any loose knifes in your vehicle" Just left on a surface or stuck to a magnetic rack, which...

    'Chinese' Diesel Heater

    Somewhere I had an owners manual for a truck that had a table in it as too how much petrol to add to you diesel depending on how cold it was. Putting petrol in your diesel heater might clean your whole van with better than expected results!!!

    'Chinese' Diesel Heater

    I would say the majority of time mine has spent on was just idling, as normally it would be on a low setting overnight.

    DVSA checks

    I had a hunt this morning and I'm unable to find the publication at the moment. I've seen it twice, but never when I've looked for it. What kept on appearing was references to horse boxes, and I guess if you had to prove the point you were legal I would sight them. The main theme seems to be...

    DVSA checks

    It’s the customs checks that make me laugh Most visits Murky has had, is personal. They’d just like to see how it was converted. I was once asked where were my passengers. Understandable as it’s taxation class is bus/coach.

    DVSA checks

    I don’t think I was asked to prove it was mine other than giving my name. It was stolen once and the buggers brought it back, just didn’t park it in my spot. Though they did take a very expensive set of jump leads. Forensics came out, but the chap said it was almost impossible to get any...

    DVSA checks

    I’ve been stopped twice and asked to show what I had in the back. The first time was in a street racing car, trying to explain no interior trim and the dry sump tank was fun. I think being polite was the reason I didn’t find myself facing the magistrates in the morning. The second time was in a...

    I'll dig out the section when I can find it again, maybe it's just the way I read it?

    Diesel Heater On All Night

    We turn our heater down by about 5 deg C at night as we find it more comfortable to sleep cooler. So if not exhaust gas leaking in, maybe just dry air?

    DVSA checks

    I've mentioned this before, but if you end being classed a a private hgv 3.5 to 7.5 tonnes. You can't have a passenger or any contents in the vehicle. Unless you use it commercially, the it is no longer private. If you start reading these laws, you'll notice they are woolly at best and would...

    Diesel Heater On All Night

    With mine I exhaust through a bulkhead fitting to avoid exhaust gases seeping in. https://www.melloronline.co.uk/Heater_Installation_Accessories_/12347/Eberspacher_Stainless_Steel_Exhaust_Skin_Fitting_(Angled)_to_fit_24mm_ID_Exhaust_pipe_with_gaskets.html

    Distribution Board

    This is what I'm after to use after the DC DC converter. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-32V-12-Way-Blade-Fuses-Box-Holder-Boat-Bus-Bar-Kit-Auto-Car-Marine-Fuse-Box-/333751754297?hash=item4db5279e39

    An amazing work top

    I'm afraid I'm going to be boring and have a stainless steel worktop. At least the back edges can be folded up to avoid the ingress of dirt.

    Distribution Board

    Hoping to add to this mess I was expecting a 12 volt fused distribution box turn up this week. Yodel claims to have attempted two deliveries, and on the second attempt claim that they were told we’ve moved! Vehicles still in our yard? So the box is being returned to China! This is the second...

    Eberspacher D1LC servicing

    New over temperature sensor arrived yesterday from Poland! Yes Poland not Poundland. Fitted it yesterday and it's been running all day keeping Murky at a comfortable 22 degrees Celsius.
