I've personally come across 3 potentially dangerous examples ... 2 of cracked combustion Chambers (possibly from manufacture) 1 with porosity of the aluminium casting around the glow plug area ... All 3 of the above had the potential for leakage of carbon monoxide/combustion fumes . However...

To be honest same as the equivalent eberspacher ...they are really pretty simple beasts .... (And I'm looking forward to having another in the mohome and be rid of the gas fire) 9 times from 10 low battery state will trigger a fault code rather than poor running (they are pretty good at self...

Usually a sign of glow pin/gauze issues (both service items ) Worth trying to run a gallon of Parrafin/Kerosene through IF you can get at the fuel pick up easily .... Paraffin runs hotter and cleaner than diesel so helps to clear carbon/sludge build up . That said IF the glow pin is failing...

Just buy a 4l bottle of water now and again for water that you won't drink from the main tank.... Then top it up before a trip until the handle drops off and then replace.

I have to say....when I hear someone spouting 'vanlife' it makes me cringe... It's usually thrown into conversation by some bandwagon jumping over worthy type.

I'm happy either way.... To be honest I think most folks from here spend a lot of their time on wild camping. And only usually post on here as a sort of back up.

Surely size of the cables is the most important bit....?

I used these when I built the transit.... Simple to fit and kept the door open nicely. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203974550185?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Q06aEp8gQuq&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=mqndllwfsvq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I've got some large jubilee clips kicking around if that's any use.

Couple of places in Withernsea if your ever over that way that always have a big range of different types outside.... Biggish one in the centre called Roberts I think... The other is a private house on the way into the centre that usually has a driveway full of them.

Check out your local Facebook market place.... There's usually loads of decent ones on there...for peanuts I bought a fair few in the past to chop up for various projects

Shouldn't IF the VSR is operating correctly.... As soon as the voltages drop beneath the cut off point then the VSR should disconnect. From memory the, VSR does consume a tiny amount of power sensing the voltage but its so small its ignored

Did your insurance company require any paperwork when you informed them? Some I've had dealings with have, been really quite picky

I'd contact and speak to your insurance company first... To make sure that they are happy with it being moved... It's not as simple as just drilling some holes through the floor with plates or just welding some framework in (although Some folks will just do as they please) as in the case of an...

From the testers manual....

I've seen some pretty dodgy looking 'Classics' kicking around since the MOT exemption came in for them... I really do believe that a professional set of eyes cast over all vehicles is a good thing (I still have my exempt landrovers tested for peace of mind) BUT I do have a very firm but fair...

There ARE still strict rules on position/types of lights etc as far as construction and use is concerned... But very little cross checks on that as far as MOT test is concerned (I personally don't think the MOT test will be around for much longer sadly.... As it seems to be evolving into...

This is the wording in the MOT testers manual... "The precise position of lamps is not part of the inspection. You should check visually that they are at about the same height and distance from each side of the vehicle." That doesn't mean that it contravenes construction and use regulations though

I'd say that the passenger side rear light is, obscured enough to risk a tug from a particularly bother police officer (should you happen to actually spot one) And in the event of an accident your insurance company to drop your cover to third party (especially IF you haven't declared the carrier...
