As everyone who works on older vehicles knows, there's always more to do. With a lot of help from my son Lachlann and his 3D Printing skills as mentioned here, the Dash in the Merc is pretty finished. The rocker switches are for accessories and wired to their own fuses on a separate vehicle...

So the Old Merc as I previously mentioned has some Spag Bol wiring going on, whilst a desire to completely strip out and start again is quite strong, costs, tools and location (on a slope) make doing any major work like this prohibitive. Nonetheless, and with the help of members here notably...

Anyone got any idea how the Igniter switch on an Electrolux three way fridge is wired - in fact not just the Igniter switch but everything else I keep searching google images and just about every image I find that looks any good returns a 404 page It is this one TIA

This https://www.rvrepairclub.com/ Just curious, it's cheap but the costs go up dramatically after year one, just wondering whether it's worth getting Gold Membership for $7 ??

I wrote a post about middle son's ever increasing 3D Printing skills and a shout out to get any printing work done. He now has two colours of print filament, blue and green !! The filament is £25 to £50 or more a roll depending on what the plastic type is. The New Old Merc I have has a problem...
